LDAP Integration

I'm hearing more and more about larger companies requiring that their secure and managed file transfer solution integrate with their LDAP database for end user authentication.

This type of integration enables company-wide solution deployment with centralized user management control for thousands of employees.

The Ipswitch family of file transfer servers includes tight LDAP integration. Here are a couple of links to learn more about Ipswitch's worldclass family of secure and managed file transfer servers:

* Secure File Transfer: WS_FTP Server

* Managed File Transfer: MOVEit DMZ

NEW WEBINAR: PCI DSS and Secure File Transfer

PCI DSS compliance requires any organization that accepts or processes credit card transactions to protect the security, privacy and confidentiality of cardholder information... AND to document who accesses it, and the security measures (including encryption) that are taken to prevent theft, loss, or accidental disclosure.

Of course, as with most compliance initiatives, PCI DSS compliance is more complicated and far-reaching than it initially looks.

For those of you interested in learning a bit more about PCI DSS as well as PA DSS, check out this new free webinar by three industry experts.

* David Taylor: Founder of the PCI Alliance
* Walter Conway: eCommerce & PCI DSS consultant and expert in Electronic Payments
* Kevin Gillis: VP Product Development at Ipswitch File Transfer

Here's a link to Walter's PCI DSS News & Information blog that gives more info about this new and informative webinar.
