Clearswift Filecatalyst !full! Today
: Standard internet file transfers rely on TCP. TCP requires an acknowledgment for received data packets before sending the next batch. If data travels over vast geographical distances, latency causes transfer speeds to collapse.
FileCatalyst, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, has more than 1,000 customers globally, including many Fortune 500 companies across media & entertainment, energy & mining, gaming, military, and government sectors. It is an Emmy® award-winning solution that was acquired by HelpSystems in January 2021.
When FileCatalyst and Clearswift are deployed together, they form a cohesive "speed-plus-security" pipeline. The integration is achieved via the industry-standard ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol).
Industries like finance, healthcare, and defense must monitor every file for sensitive data (PII, PHI) before it leaves the network perimeter. The Solution: Clearswift + FileCatalyst clearswift filecatalyst
Most organizations rely on standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP), HTTP, or consumer-grade cloud storage solutions (like Dropbox or WeTransfer) to move files. While these work fine for small documents, they crumble under the weight of modern big data.
: Goes beyond simple file extensions to look inside the structure of over 300 different file types to find hidden metadata or revision histories.
While Clearswift and FileCatalyst can be used separately, their true power emerges when Clearswift's DLP capabilities are integrated with managed file transfer (MFT) solutions. : Standard internet file transfers rely on TCP
Clearswift dissects the file. If it finds sensitive data (e.g., a hidden column of social security numbers in a massive spreadsheet), it redacts it. If it finds an embedded exploit or macro in a document, it strips it out via Structural Sanitization.
Accelerating Secure File Transfer: The Synergy of Clearswift and FileCatalyst
offers the best of both worlds. It solves the technical challenge of moving heavy payloads across challenging networks while maintaining the rigorous security posture required by today’s threat landscape. FileCatalyst, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Ottawa,
companies use FileCatalyst to transfer massive video files (hundreds of gigabytes) across continents, meeting tight production deadlines.
