MFT as your Middleware!

Modern enterprises are constantly navigating the flow of information between intricate internal systems and external cloud services. Regardless of whether that flow is inside or outside of the corporate firewall, the need for secure and efficient data transfer remains paramount. 

Traditional solutions like Extract Transfer Load (ETL) systems help process and store data within a central warehouse, while Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) serve as hubs that manage and monitor data and service flows across various applications. Yet, despite their strengths, these tools fall short when it comes to security—especially when third-party interactions are involved.  

This gap between integration and security has left organisations searching for a more unified approach. 

More than MFT 

Enter GoAnywhere MFT, a solution which redefines what managed file transfer can be. Unlike conventional MFT platforms, GoAnywhere functions as a lightweight ETL, a capable ESB, and a robust MFT tool—all rolled into one.  

What truly distinguishes GoAnywhere is its unwavering focus on security, making it one of the few platforms that can meet the growing demand for secure and seamless data exchanges both within and beyond enterprise boundaries. 

GoAnywhere offers the same automation and integration capabilities found in ETL, ESB, and Enterprise Application Integration solutions. It enables organisations to connect internal systems with cloud-based resources and external partners, including banks, credit card providers, financial data services, foreign exchange markets, and retirement or pension systems. When needed, GoAnywhere can also act as middleware, integrating with existing ETL setups while managing system connections, securing communications, and streamlining integration processes. 

Even for enterprises already equipped with ETL tools, GoAnywhere enhances data transfer security by introducing multiple layers of protection. Its architecture includes a multi-tier setup featuring the GoAnywhere Gateway, which operates as a reverse proxy in the DMZ to shield data from internet threats. Additionally, organisations can deploy a Secure ICAP Gateway—a deep content inspection engine that blocks malicious content from infiltrating through third-party interfaces.  

Security is further reinforced through integration with Fortra Threat Brain, a comprehensive threat intelligence database that proactively identifies and blocks suspicious IP addresses before they can breach the network. 

On-Prem, Off-Prem... Anywhere 

Another standout feature of GoAnywhere is its ability to bridge the divide between on-premises systems and cloud-based applications. Unlike typical SaaS middleware platforms, which often struggle to accommodate legacy systems, segmented networks, and hybrid environments, GoAnywhere centralises and secures file transfers across all these domains. It’s not limited to one environment, making it a truly versatile solution for enterprises with complex infrastructures. 

For organisations aiming to enhance operational efficiency, GoAnywhere offers a high-performance middleware platform that supports secure and high speed data transfers. It interfaces with a wide array of systems, applications, and cloud services, protects files from malware, enforces zero trust principles regardless of file destination, and ensures data remains outside the DMZ. 

Recognised globally as a leading MFT solution, GoAnywhere is celebrated for its security, adaptability, and ability to operate wherever and however enterprises need it. It’s increasingly becoming the connective tissue between disparate systems and workflows.
