October marks the beginning of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It is great to see that our government is starting to take a proactive stance towards cyber-threats by recognizing that cyberspace is a community and like any community security is the responsibility of each member not just its administrators.

I’ve written on the subject of encryption here in the past and how states like Nevada and Massachusetts are enacting strict data privacy laws that call for better overall security of client data. Gartner analyst Frank Kenney weighed in to say that “…it’s not just about encrypting the information, it’s about being able to rapidly produce evidence that you in fact followed the letter of the law.”

Just this week, I completed an article on securing data movement on the mainframe. I worked on it with our CIO, Kevin Bohan. As I was writing the article, I had a completely coincidental telephone conversation with a family member who is an IT Manager at a big European bank. I asked her what she was working on these days and she told me she was transitioning some business units to IBM’s MQ series for the mainframe. She told me how this represented a bit of a learning curve, as previously, they’d used mostly FTP to get data in and out of the mainframe.

“File transfer multicasting.” That’s how Proginet’s President and CEO, Sandy Weil, describes CFI with RocketStream, the Company’s innovative new solution for accelerated managed file transfer. CFI with RocketStream turbocharges global file transfers – delivering files up to 30 times faster than FTP and commercially available file transfer applications. CFI with RocketStream achieves these speeds by defeating network latency; global organizations transferring large files over high-latency pipes and long distances will yield maximum benefits.

I have been in the managed file transfer space now for almost 20 years. One of the most common and recurring misconceptions I see among file transfer users is that file transfer is file transfer. This is not actually the case.
Standards based file transfer protocols such as FTP and FTPS are good for certain types of transactions but miss a key capability required for mission critical business functions. That capability is guaranteed delivery.

I remember Earth Day in 1990. There was a one page ad taken out in The New York Times that Sunday by a prominent upscale department store. It was about the importance of reusing, recycling and conserving. For some reason, I never forgot that ad. It stuck with me. It resonated. There was something quite powerful in the messaging that seemed quite simple.
