< News Boards Warned on Increased Middle East Cyber Risk 2 Apr 2026 Law firm Gilbert & Tobin has issued sage advice for Boards and senior management regarding the heightened cyber security risks from the Middle East conflict. Materially Increased Risk Gilbert & Tobin say the escalating armed conflict in the Middle East has “materially increased cyber risk for Australian organisations”. S&P Global Ratings recently observed that the war and broader geopolitical tensions have driven a significant increase in state-sponsored cyberattacks. Common targets are critical infrastructure, financial services, government and the private sector. The attacks typically attempt to dislocate essential services, disrupt supply chains and destabilise economies. Reports from cyber security specialists indicate an increase in phishing campaigns, ransomware-style attacks, data exfiltration and malware deployment targeting energy systems, financial institutions and government networks. Critically, supply chain links mean organisations well outside the immediate conflict zone, including in Australia and New Zealand, face indirect but material risk. The Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has also been actively issuing alerts concerning the exploitation of network infrastructure by sophisticated threat actors, including state-sponsored groups. This is not a hypothetical risk. Modern conflicts routinely extend into cyberspace. For affected organisations, the consequences can include mandatory regulatory reporting obligations, enforcement actions, economic and reputational harm and litigation. Actions You Should Take Gilbert & Tobin recommend the following immediate steps: Board acknowledgement and oversight Boards should formally acknowledge the heightened external cyber threat environment at their next meeting. Directors should require the Chief Information Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer to review their organisation's current exposure to the external threat landscape and report back to the board on assessed risk and actions being taken. The reporting should address the adequacy of existing security controls, any gaps identified and a timeline for remediation. Active board engagement on cyber risk is increasingly expected by regulators and is consistent with good corporate governance. Proactive threat intelligence and risk posture review CITOs and CISOs should proactively review threat intelligence feeds from the ACSC, industry information-sharing bodies and trusted commercial threat intelligence providers. This includes monitoring for indicators of compromise associated with state-sponsored and hacktivist groups linked to the conflict, reviewing the organisation's risk posture against current attack vectors (including spear-phishing, ransomware and exploitation of network edge devices) and ensuring that detection and monitoring capabilities are calibrated to the heightened threat level. Organisations should ensure they are subscribed to ACSC alert service and are acting promptly on advisories. Organisations using a Managed Services Provider should engage with them to understand how they can support this review and uplift. Cyber insurance policy review Organisations should urgently review their cyber insurance policies for exclusions relating to war, armed conflict, or nation-state actors. In the current environment, where the lines between criminal cybercrime and state-sponsored operations are increasingly blurred, there is a real risk that insurers may seek to rely on these exclusions to deny or limit claims. Incident response plan testing Organisations should test their cyber incident response plans now. This includes conducting tabletop exercises that simulate scenarios relevant to the current threat environment, such as a ransomware attack attributed to a state-linked actor, or a supply chain compromise originating from a conflict-affected region. Organisations should proactively identify key response contacts, including forensic vendors, external legal counsel, insurers and relevant regulatory notification contacts and ensure those details are current and accessible. Supply chain and third-party risk assessment Organisations should review their supply chain and third-party dependencies for exposure to the conflict and associated cyber threats. Threat actors are known to exploit interconnections between organisations. Compromised suppliers and service providers can have cascading effects. Your review should prioritise third parties with operations in, or connections to, the affected region, as well as critical technology and infrastructure providers.

< News How Managed File Transfer Helps You Meet Australian Compliance Regimes 26 Aug 2026 If you work in risk, security, or IT in an Australian regulated industry, the last three years have rewritten your job description. Four regulatory regimes - two from APRA, one covering critical infrastructure, and a substantially toughened Privacy Act - now converge on the same uncomfortable question: Can you prove you control your data every time it moves? Not where it sits. Where it  moves  - between systems, between business units, and especially to and from third parties. File #000000transfer is where sensitive data leaves your perimeter, and it's exactly where regulators, boards, and attackers are now focusing their attention. Here's a plain language look at what each regime asks of you, and how a managed file transfer (MFT) platform like Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT helps you meet those obligations in practice. CPS 234: Information security with board accountability What it is:  APRA's Prudential Standard CPS 234 applies to banks, insurers, and superannuation trustees. It requires regulated entities to maintain information security capability commensurate with their threats, implement controls to protect information assets (including those managed by third parties), systematically test those controls, and notify APRA of material information security incidents within 72 hours. Critically, accountability sits with the board - "we outsourced it" is not a defense. How GoAnywhere MFT helps: CPS 234 is fundamentally about demonstrable controls over information assets. GoAnywhere centralises what is often the least-controlled activity in an enterprise - ad hoc file movement - into a single governed platform with AES-256 encryption at rest, secure protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2) in transit, and a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module. Role-based administration, granular folder-level permissions, and integration with Active Directory, SAML SSO, and multi-factor authentication mean access to sensitive data maps to defined roles rather than shared credentials. And when APRA or your auditors ask for evidence, complete audit trails of every user event and file movement - exportable to your SIEM via syslog - turn "we believe our controls work" into "here is the record." CPS 230: Operational resilience and third-party risk What it is:   CPS 230, in force since 1 July 2025, is APRA's operational risk management standard. It requires regulated entities to identify their critical operations, set tolerance levels for disruption, and - significantly - manage risks arising from service providers with the same rigour as internal operations. If a material service provider fails, APRA expects you to have seen it coming and planned for it. How GoAnywhere MFT helps:  Data exchange with counterparties, bureaus, administrators, and processors is one of the most common dependencies underpinning critical operations - and one of the least visible. GoAnywhere gives you a single point of visibility and control over every third-party data flow: automated workflows replace fragile scripts and manual FTP, transfer monitoring and alerting surface failures before they become disruptions, and detailed reporting shows exactly which counterparties exchange what data, when, and how. That inventory of data flows is precisely what CPS 230's service-provider management and business-continuity requirements assume you have. The SOCI Act and CIRMP: Critical infrastructure obligations What it is:   The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI Act) applies to owners and operators of critical infrastructure assets across eleven sectors - energy, water, healthcare, transport, communications, financial services, data storage, and more. Its Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP) rules require responsible entities to establish and maintain a documented program addressing cyber and information security hazards (benchmarked against a recognised framework such as the Essential Eight, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF), report cyber incidents to the Australian Cyber Security Centre within tight timeframes, and have the board attest annually to the program. Where GoAnywhere helps:  A CIRMP has to show how you mitigate cyber hazards to systems that matter - and file transfer infrastructure is squarely in scope, as the industry's recent history of attacks on transfer systems has demonstrated. GoAnywhere supports the control frameworks CIRMPs are benchmarked against: network segmentation via its DMZ gateway (no inbound ports or credentials stored in the DMZ), IP allow-listing and automated brute-force blocking, restriction of administrative privileges through role-based access, and multi-factor authentication. Its centralised logging and reporting also give you the forensic record you need to meet mandatory incident-reporting timeframes with facts rather than guesses. The reformed Privacy Act: Higher stakes for personal information What it is:  Australia's Privacy Act has been substantially strengthened. Maximum penalties for serious interferences with privacy now reach $50 million or more for companies. The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 introduced a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy (live since June 2025) - meaning individuals can now sue directly - alongside new OAIC enforcement powers and criminal penalties for doxxing. Further reform tranches are expected. Underpinning it all, APP 11 requires organisations to take reasonable steps to protect personal information, and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires assessment and notification of eligible breaches. Where GoAnywhere helps:   "Reasonable steps" is a moving standard, and regulators have made clear that sending personal information by unencrypted email, consumer file-sharing tools, or legacy FTP no longer qualifies. GoAnywhere replaces those habits with encrypted, policy-controlled transfer and secure ad hoc file sharing for the human-to-human exchanges that policy documents always miss. Automatic retention and secure-deletion workflows help you avoid holding personal information longer than needed - the single biggest amplifier of breach impact. And if the worst happens, granular audit trails let you determine quickly  whose  data was affected and  what  was actually taken, which is the difference between a precise, defensible notification and a worst-case public disclosure. The honest conversation: platform security No serious discussion of file transfer in 2026 should ignore that MFT platforms across the industry - GoAnywhere included - have been targeted by sophisticated threat actors in recent years. That's exactly why deployment discipline matters: current patched versions, the DMZ gateway architecture, admin interfaces off the public internet, and MFA enforced. A well-deployed, well-maintained MFT platform with full audit visibility remains categorically safer than the alternative most organisations are actually running - scattered scripts, open FTP, and personal file-sharing accounts that no one monitors and no one patches. The bottom line CPS 234, CPS 230, the SOCI CIRMP rules, and the reformed Privacy Act differ in scope and language, but they converge on the same expectations: know where your sensitive data goes, control who can move it, encrypt it on the way, keep evidence, and be able to answer for it - to APRA, to the ACSC, to the OAIC, and to your board. No software product makes you compliant on its own - compliance is a program, not a purchase. But a centralised MFT platform turns the hardest part of that program - governing data in motion - from hundreds of invisible, unmanaged flows into one controlled, auditable system. Here to help At Generic Systems Australia we have many years of experience helping Australian organisations install and configure the world’s leading MFT. We’re standing by here in your time zone, ready to help you do the same. If you'd like to see how your current file transfer landscape stacks up against these four regimes, I'm happy to walk through it. The gap analysis is usually eye-opening - and it's a far better time to look now than after an incident or an audit finding. This article is general information, not legal or compliance advice. Always have an appropriately-qualified subject matter expert assess your obligations against your own regulatory context. Previous Next

< News Protect Your Business from Phishy QR Codes 29 Aug 2025 It’s National Scams Awareness Week . But it’s always a good time to guard against one of the most common forms of phishing. Research by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) shows that scam QR Codes are becoming the attack vector of choice for cyber criminals attempting to infiltrate your organisation. Each day, millions of emails are sent containing QR Codes that link employees and consumers to bogus websites. Code for Criminals QR code attacks occur when a cyber thief creates a bogus QR code which “socially engineers” their intended victim to a phishing website. There they’re tricked into disclosing system credentials, making a false payment or purchase, or downloading malware. QR codes are an increasingly popular phishing tactic due to their crim-friendly features. Free QR Code generators make it inexpensive for cyber criminals to attempt phishing attacks. Free QR Code tend to have few resources dedicated to takedowns of legitimate service abuse and other malicious activity.   QR codes can be combined with URL shorteners to mask the true destination of URLs. Stop the Scams Our SFT Threat Protection Bundle enables your organisation’s email system to automatically detect and prevent phishing links and other malware from entering your organisation. Combining the layered strengths of GoAnywhere MFT and Clearswift, it means your team can receive and share information securely, without impairing their productivity. Seamlessly integrating managed file transfer with advanced threat protection and adaptive data loss prevention, SFT Threat Protection not only prevents malware from entering your organisation, but it also prevents employees from losing or mishandling data. For example, if an employee knowingly –– or unknowingly –– attempts to share any files containing malware, those files are sanitised by having the malicious elements automatically removed. It can also automatically detect and –– if you configure it to do so –– prevent employees from sharing sensitive information.

< News Best Practices for Cloud MFT 30 Jan 2024 Best Practices for Cloud Managed File Transfer Data is the lifeblood of modern business. And most modern organisations rely to some extent on the Cloud as they transfer files between employees, trading partners, and customers. To help you guard against cybercrime, here are best practices for safeguarding your data on its way to, from and in, the Cloud. Some Clouds are Better than Others Cloud computing comes in three basic flavours… Public, Private, and Hybrid. Each offers differing degrees of security and risk. Of the three, a Self-Hosted Private Cloud solution offers considerable advantages through enhanced levels of control and protection. It: Is ring-fenced inside your organisation’s security perimeter, enjoying the same protections and security posture as the rest of your IT environment. Can be integrated into your network with AWS VPN / Azure Express route links. Has access to your internal systems through appropriate firewall controls to better suit interfacing requirements (aka “lateral movement of data”). Ensures internal file and data transfers never leave your secure local network. Public and Hybrid Clouds Permitting your precious data to go “off-prem” inherently increases the risk it may be intercepted or accessed by cybercriminals. However, leading MFT solutions - in combination with a trustworthy Cloud provider, appropriately configured - can mitigate these risks, and provide MFT-as-a-service. Choosing with the Best Cloud Provider Cloud providers come in all sizes, capabilities … and risk profiles. Ensure your Cloud provider uses robust security protocols and safeguards. Do they utilise the latest encryption protocols, and offer strong user authorisation and access controls? Do their data transmission and storage approaches meet the regulatory requirements for your industry? What performance levels does your Cloud provider commit to? Can they quickly and reliably receive, store and transmit your business-essential files? Can your Cloud provider easily integrate with your existing systems? Can your Cloud provider offer an appropriate level of technical support when you need it? At Generic Systems Australia , we would be happy to share with you our significant experience with and expert perspective on locally-available Cloud providers, detailing and how well they meet the requirements for safe, efficient and effective MFT. Meet Industry Compliance Requirements Some industries are subject to heightened regulatory requirements regarding data storage and transfer. Even when using an “off-prem” Cloud provider, you remain responsible for meeting those requirements. Failing to utilise an appropriately compliant Cloud environment can lead to fines, law suits, loss of customers, loss of supplier trust, and reputational damage. Maintain Control and Data Sovereignty Governments increasingly require organisations to maintain authority and control of data within their jurisdictional boundaries – aka, “data sovereignty”. Private and Hybrid Cloud environments provide inherently greater authority over where data is stored, access permissions, and retention policies. In this way, they enable organisations to better navigate myriad data sovereignty mandates and evolving compliance standards. Utilising Managed File Transfer as a Service (MFTaaS) MFTaaS is an approach which can help organisations streamline their file transfer processes, while offering robust security, scalability, reliability, anywhere access and cost-effectiveness. However, be sure to confirm your MFTaaS solution offers robust encryption and security protocols, can scale grow with your organisation's needs, and complies with the industry regulations relevant to your business. Technical Best Practices for Cloud File Transfers Ensure secure and efficient transmission of data in a Cloud environment by observing these technical requirements: Data Encryption at Rest and in Transit: Utilise encryption protocols like SSL/TLS for data in transit and encryption solutions provided by your Cloud provider for data at rest. In private Cloud settings, you can also leverage approaches like Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) or Hold Your Own Key (HYOK). Data Loss Prevention (DLP): A robust DLP solution helps prevent unauthorised data transfers and leakage by monitoring data in real-time and preventing it from being transmitted outside of your organisation. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): By monitoring and alerting IT security teams to any suspicious file transfer behaviour, IDS helps nip security breaches in the bud. Employee Best Practices Having your team follow best practices is also essential to secure data transfer and storage. Staff Training: Teach your employees to recognise data security risks, and how to avoid them. Place special focus on phishing and social engineering – two of the most prevalent cybercriminal threats. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enforce MFA for file transfers, and utilise phishing-resistant techniques. Access Control: Restrict access to files and systems, and provide users with only the minimum level of access necessary to perform their role. Implement a regular cycle of access permission reviews. Audit, Backup and Recovery Best Practices Continuous monitoring and auditing of Cloud file transfers not only maintains the security of your data, it also helps identify and mitigate potential threats, while monitoring on-going compliance. Log Analysis and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) proactively monitor transfers, and enable your IT team to react quickly to emerging threats and incidents. Data backup and disaster recovery are the final critical components of your comprehensive safeguards against data loss in Cloud file transfers. They ensure that, if a disaster occurs, your organisation can provide business continuity by maintaining the availability and integrity of data. Making the Cloud Safe for File Transfers By following these best practices, the Cloud can be an efficient, reliable and secure element within your organisation’s overall data transfer approach. At Generic Systems Australia , we use and recommend the class-leading (link) managed file transfer solution, GoAnywhere MFT , for the way it integrates with the Cloud and embeds best practices. Providing peace of mind, by securing sensitive files in transit and at rest, GoAnywhere automates and encrypts data between an organisation and its trading partners, protecting it from unnecessary vulnerabilities while improving efficiency and reducing costs.

< News Get Smart Agents to Automate Your File Transfers 10 Mar 2026 Many organisations’ file transfers have grown organically over years - an assortment of shell scripts, scheduled tasks, ad‑hoc utilities, and “that one server nobody touches because it just works”. While such a patchwork might survive early growth, it becomes more fragile and risky as data volumes increase and security expectations tighten. Would you believe there’s a much better – safer, more reliable, more scalable – way…? Recruiting Agents MFT agents are lightweight applications that do a lot of heavy lifting to automate your file transfers and workflows – remote and on-premises – throughout your enterprise, saving you time and money. If your organisation needs to move, transform, or manage files securely across different environments, deploying an MFT agent is one of the most efficient ways to do it. Agents remove the reliance on scattered FTP, FTPS, SFTP servers or home‑grown transfer scripts, replacing them with a single, governed approach to automation. How to Get Smart The simplest path is to use an MFT platform that includes both local and remote agents, such as Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT . Its browser‑based console gives teams a central place to configure, schedule, and monitor agent‑driven transfers, along with any related business workflows. Agents can be installed on almost any system involved in file movement: Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, and even cloud‑hosted servers. Once deployed, they act as lightweight workers that carry out tasks on behalf of the central MFT server. Administrators can define what each agent should do, track every action it performs, and enforce strong security controls. All communication between agents and the MFT server is encrypted using SSL/TLS, and multi‑step authentication ensures only authorised systems can connect. Staying in Control Every agent reports back to the central GoAnywhere server, giving teams complete visibility and control. Agents can process files locally - such as transforming, encrypting, or compressing them - or send them back to the MFT server for further handling. They can be deployed almost anywhere: on‑premises, in the cloud, or even at a partner’s site. Installers can be customised to suit your environment, making rollout straightforward. With agents in place, organisations can streamline a wide range of routine tasks, including: Automating and securing file transfers Facilitating workflow capabilities such as compression, decompression, data parsing, database integration, encryption and decryption, and more Scheduling file transfers to run at future dates/times Monitoring folders on agent systems for new or modified files Sending alerts if an agent file transfer failed Feeding audit data to centralised deployment of GoAnywhere reporting for visibility into all file transfers within your organisation Deploying automatic notifications if an agent goes offline Making Your Move Transitioning to smart agents is typically straightforward. At Generic Systems Australia, our Migration Service can do it for you. Many organisations find it easy enough to do for themselves. You can start by cataloguing your existing scripts - what they move, when they run, and which systems they touch. GoAnywhere enables you to replicate these behaviours as automated workflows, but with added benefits like encryption, retries, alerting, and centralised logging. Once the workflows are defined, deploy agents to the relevant servers. These lightweight components handle the local file system interactions while the MFT server orchestrates the logic. The Payoff The payoff from moving to automated MFT transfers is immediate. Security teams gain consistent encryption and policy enforcement. Operations teams gain reliability and monitoring. Developers no longer need to maintain brittle scripts or reinvent transfer logic for every new integration. And the business gains a resilient, scalable foundation for data movement - one that supports growth rather than holding it back. Replacing manual scripts with MFT agents isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a shift toward predictable, governed, and secure data flows. For organisations ready to modernise, it’s one of the highest‑impact changes they can make. “We Happen to Be Experts on that Subject” Generic Systems Australia is Fortra’s #1 GoAnywhere Partner in Australia and New Zealand, with decades of experience enabling organisations to defend against cyber attacks. If you’d like a no-cost, no-obligation discussion about how we could help you simply and affordably adopt an advanced MFT solution, please feel welcome to get in touch with me. Previous Next

Important, But Neglected? Everyone knows that backing up your data is important. But not everyone gets around to it with the frequency they know they should. GoAnywhere MFT can automate your backups with a controlled, predictable workflow. Repeatable backup routines run on schedule without manual intervention - pulling files from servers, databases, or cloud locations, packaging them, encrypting them, and storing them. Remote Agents GoAnywhere agents extend this further by enabling backups to run directly on remote systems, reducing network load and keeping sensitive data local until it’s securely transferred... each step logged, audited, and centrally visible. If you'd like a backup process that’s handsoff, policydriven, and resilient - rather than a patchwork of scripts that someone has to babysit - let us know! Previous Next

< News How GoAnywhere integrates with your Hybrid Cloud 2 Oct 2025 Recent research by IMARC Group and Forrester shows Australian organisations increasingly using Hybrid Cloud as a strategic bridge between legacy systems and modern cloud-native applications. Hybrid Cloud enables them to modernise without abandoning critical infrastructure. By integrating on-premises environments with public cloud platforms, businesses can maintain control over sensitive or complex legacy workloads while gradually introducing scalable, agile cloud-native services. This duality enables seamless data flow, API-driven interoperability, and phased migration strategies—essential for industries bound by compliance or technical debt. GoAnywhere MFT — the world’s leading Managed File Transfer solution — facilitates businesses on this path by offering “ Cloud Connectors ” that seamlessly integrate GoAnywhere with external cloud services. Also referred to as “cloud integrations”, Cloud Connectors offer out-of-the-box connectors for GoAnywhere to popular services including Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Box, and Dropbox. For example: One a trading partner might ask you to share an important file it via a folder in Dropbox. Or perhaps there are contacts or billing information to be updated automatically in Salesforce. GoAnywhere’s Cloud Connectors enables these tasks to be done easily and securely. Broad Range Cloud Connectors are easily downloaded from GoAnywhere MFT’s integrated Marketplace, which features Connectors for the most commonly used cloud services. These include: • Alibaba Object Storage Service • Amazon Cloud Trail, CloudWatch, EC2, Lambda, SNS, and SQS • Atlassian JIRA • Automate Plus • Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 (superseded by Gen2) and Storage Queue • Box • Citrix ShareFile • Dropbox • Egnyte • GateScanner CDR • GoAnywhere Command • Google Cloud Storage, Drive, and Translate • JAMS • Jenkins • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, 365 CRM, OneDrive, Sharepoint Online and Sharepoint On-Premise • OPSWAT MetaDefender • Salesforce • ServiceNow • SMA OpCon Scheduler • SOS Berlin JobScheduler (Online version not supported) • Trello • Veeva CRM • Votiro • Webdocs • Zendesk (Online version not supported) Configuring Cloud Connectors Once a Cloud Connector is installed, its connection properties can be configured as a GoAnywhere Resource. This only needs to be performed once, and can then be seamlessly reused in any workflows and cloud file transfers. A Cloud Connector definition contains the various actions required to communicate with cloud applications. For example: authentication logging file transfer file management and error handling. In GoAnywhere, these actions appear as elements located under the Cloud Connector in the GoAnywhere Project Designer. Elements can be incorporated into a business’s workflows alongside other project tasks, and processes can even be automated between multiple web and cloud services at once. New GoAnywhere connectors can be downloaded without needing to update the software. No Connector? No problem While GoAnywhere Marketplace contains a broad array of Cloud Connectors, you may also want to connect to a unique external service. Custom connectors are the answer. And at Generic Systems Australia, we can design and develop Custom Connectors for you, using GoAnywhere’s Cloud Connector Designer. If you’d like to discuss how your organisation’s file transfers to external cloud providers can be made more efficient and secure, please feel welcome to get in touch with me. I’m always happy to have an obligation-free discussion, explain how easy it is to transition to an improved file transfer approach, and offer you a zero-cost Proof of Concept.
