Is secure and compliant file transfer important to your business?

Survey Reveals Security Is Paramount for FTP Users. Here are a few key takeaways:

* Over 60% say that organizational confidentiality is an important consideration for 2007 file transfer investment decisions.

* Most commonly cited worldwide compliance regulations are: Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, HIPAA, BASEL II and J-SOX.

* Compliance is often considered a hassle for organizations, but security is a vital concern (NOTE: I think this is the understatement of the century!)

* Having confidence in the security, privacy, control and verification of hosted and transferred data is central to the meaning of the compliance for WS_FTP users.

"The survey results support and reinforce what we have already found to be the case -- more and more FTP users are looking for a secure and safe file transfer solution to meet increasing compliance demands," said Kevin Gillis, VP of file transfer products for Ipswitch. "Our current FTP offerings and new product development is in lock step with current IT department user needs."

So, is secure and compliance file transfers important to you or your company?
