Introduction

Introduction

Managed File Transfer
Gateway is both an enhanced reverse proxy and forward proxy. It provides an additional layer of network security when your organization needs to safely exchange data with your trading partners. When using
Managed File Transfer
Gateway as a reverse proxy, no inbound ports need to be opened into the private/internal network and no sensitive data needs to be stored in the demilitarized zone (DMZ).
Managed File Transfer
Gateway is a software-only solution which is installed in the DMZ or public-facing network. Trading Partners only connect to authorized ports on
Managed File Transfer
Gateway, which routes requests over a proprietary channel to back-end services (for example, FTP, SFTP, HTTP Server) in the private/internal network. This approach allows your organization to keep sensitive information (for example, data files, user credentials, keys, certificates) in the private/internal network, keeping your DMZ in compliance.
When
Managed File Transfer
Gateway is used as a forward proxy for outbound connections, it will hide the identities and locations of those internal systems. In essence,
Managed File Transfer
Gateway serves as a transparent interface between internal systems and external systems without exposing sensitive files and the private/internal network. This is an essential solution for meeting strict security policies and complying with state privacy laws, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, ISO 27000 and GLBA.
Managed File Transfer
Gateway offers the following features and benefits:
  • No incoming ports need to be opened into the private/internal network- reduces the risk of network intrusion
  • No sensitive data files need to be stored in the DMZ
  • No user credentials, permissions, certificates and keys need to be stored in the DMZ
  • Hides the locations and identities of internal systems
  • Service configurations are maintained/stored in the private network
  • Supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, HTTP, HTTPS and AS2 file transfer protocols
  • Built-in load balancer to distribute workloads across multiple systems
  • No special hardware components required; software-only solution
  • Installs to Windows, Linux, AIX, UNIX and Solaris operating systems
