Many organizations that employ electronic data interchange (EDI) in their business-to-business (B2B) transactions exchange EDI messages through the Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) protocol. EDI communications carried out over AS2 are sometimes called AS2 EDI. Known for being secure, cost effective and reliable, AS2 EDI is commonly used in automobile and manufacturing supply chains. It’s also popular in healthcare, retail and e-commerce industries.

Why do some organizations excel in protecting their sensitive data during file transfers while others fall prey to cyber threats? What constitutes a fortified IT infrastructure capable of withstanding attacks?

An FTP site is a server that enables you to upload and download files through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Many people use FTP sites to move large files or numerous files from one computer system to another across a network.

The file transfer software options available today aren't all created equal. Evaluating solutions based on your organization's needs goes beyond splitting hairs over technical features. The best file transfer solution must significantly enhance your organization’s security and operational efficiency. That’s because when you choose a file transfer provider, you choose who your organization will trust with your most valuable asset: data. As the digital landscape advances, so does the need for seamless automation, rapid data exchange and uncompromising security.

In an era dominated by digital transformation and the exchange of sensitive data, the security and efficiency of file transfers have become top-of-mind for IT leaders in enterprise-level organizations. When managing complex IT environments requiring robust, reliable, and secure file transfer protocols, you may face mounting pressures.

Secure data transfers are pivotal for maintaining a competitive advantage in our swiftly evolving digital landscape. As cybersecurity challenges rise and the shift towards cloud-based ecosystems continues, your strategy for secure data streaming becomes a cornerstone of business operations. It integrates advancements in data security and considers the implications of AI and automation on cybersecurity.

For the past few decades, many organizations have used the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) as their main file transfer solution. It’s more secure and less prone to connectivity issues than the archaic File Transfer Protocol (FTP). However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that SFTP is also starting to age. Companies struggle to meet today’s business needs and use cases with purely SFTP-based solutions.
