Every day, millions of files are exchanged all over the world by corporations, government entities and other organizations. These electronic transfers include the critical data needed to conduct business, such as customer and order information, EDI documents, financial data, payment information, as well as employee and health-related information.
Most managed file transfers use the popular protocol known as FTP. This is a very aged protocol, since it was designed and implemented in the infancy of computing networks; even before the Internet was even heard of.
Few managers realize the security and management risks that have blossomed in their organization with the prevalent use of FTP.
This paper examines how FTP has become the standard for business-to-business file transfers. It identifies the key pitfalls that face management using this open protocol and how IT can begin the process of bringing the implementations of FTP into a more modern, secure framework.

Compliance is not a one-time event.
Some of you have found this out the hard way. You’ve made it to “compliance” and then sat back and ignored all of the items you worked so hard to implement or modify. A year passes and it’s time to prove compliance again. Because nothing was done to maintain compliance, your efforts are almost as expensive – both in terms of person-hours and actual expense - as the first time.
Through helping our clients – large and small – attain and maintain compliance, Carol created a collection of tips and techniques to help every organization address compliance and assembled them into a book The goal of this book is to help establish a security compliance “lifestyle” so that compliance becomes a habit, not an expensive and time-consuming annual project.

The result is silos of information that are difficult to share among each other, which puts people in the business at risk of making decisions based upon inaccurate or outdated information. This paper shows you how software-based data sharing solutions can replicate and transform data in real-time from and between today’s most popular databases, including those in legacy systems. You will see how these solutions can be implemented without spending a lot of money, without re-hosting applications, without performing significant application surgery, and without extensive personnel training.

Enterprises are seeking ways to simplify and reduce the scope of the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance by shrinking the footprint where cardholder data is located throughout their organization. By reducing the scope, these enterprises can dramatically lower the cost and anxiety of PCI DSS compliance and significantly increase the chance of audit success.
Compliance with the PCI DSS is a combination of documented best practices and technology solutions that protect cardholder data across the enterprise. This paper explores the use of tokenization as a best practice in improving the security of credit card transactions, while at the same time minimizing the cost and complexity of PCI DSS compliance by reducing audit scope.
