< News New Security Standards for NZ Government Agencies 24 June 2025 New Zealand's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has drafted Cyber Security Standards which government agencies will be required to adopt and implement later this year. The new standards outline the minimum cybersecurity practices that agencies must adopt for their business-critical and external-facing systems. In general terms, they require that cyber security policies, capabilities, controls, and practices must be well-formed and repeatable. The Standards 10 draft Standards are currently being discussed with agencies and industry partners as part of pre-implementation consultation and feedback gathering. They are: 1. Security Awareness 2. Risk Management 3. Assets and their Importance 4. Secure Software Configuration 5. Patching 6. Multi-factor Authentication 7. Detect Unusual Behaviour 8. Least Privilege 9. Data Recovery 10. Response Planning Maturity Model The draft Standards feature a built-in Capability Maturity Model (CMM) to help agencies standardise how they measure, track and improve their cyber risk management over time. CMM1 “Informal”: Security capability may be ad-hoc, unmanaged or unpredictable. Success may rely on individuals rather than institutional capability. CMM2 “Planned and Tracked”: Security capability is well formed in designated business units. The security policies, capabilities, control and practices are in place and repeatable. They are designed to meet the organisation’s core security requirements. CMM3 “Standardised”: Security capability is standardised, integrated, understood and followed consistently across the enterprise. Security is well-governed and managed at an enterprise level. CMM4 “Quantitatively Controlled”: Security capability and performance is measured, monitored and objectively and quantitively controlled. Security measures are hardened in response to performance alerts. Security is a strategic focus for the organisation. CMM5 “Optimising”: Security capability adapts to a dynamic, high risk operating environment. Practices are generally recognised as world-leading and have near real-time measurement and response mechanisms. Agencies will be required to meet at least Capability Maturity Model level two (CMM2) for their business-critical and external-facing systems. Consultation Phase underway The NCSC began consulting with affected agencies and industry partners on 16 June. Discussions will continue until 4 July 2025, with final Standards planned for publication in October 2025. Agencies will be required to report on their implementation of the standards as part of Protective Security Requirements reporting process (a framework for managing security within NZ government organisations) in April 2026. The initial draft of the NCSC’s Minimum Cyber Security Standards are available for download from the NCSC website . MFT as a Baseline Protection Tactic NZ organisations seeking to step up to the new minimum standards should carefully consider installing a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution as an initial step. This relatively simple enhancement to IT systems puts organisations miles ahead of businesses still using risky and outdated FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or email to transfer files. MFT centralises data transfer and - more importantly - applies policies to data to protect it from threats such as inbound malware and employees sending files via ad hoc platforms outside the defensive perimeter (e.g. Google Drive and Dropbox). MFT has the built-in advantage of “forcing” the application of policies designed to better protect data such as encryption, monitoring, and auditing. Expertise Close at Hand No-one better understands local MFT needs and best practices than Generic Systems Australia. Our team has decades of experience helping organisations implement the world’s leading MFT solution. Our Migration Service makes the transition even easier for busy agencies who would rather focus on their core mission than their IT systems. 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.

< News How to Secure Online Data Acquisition with Secure Forms 3 Feb 2026 Whenever you ask someone to complete a form online, you’re asking for their trust. They’re handing over details that your organisation needs. In return, they expect your organisation to handle those details in confidence and with care. From payment methods to sensitive medical histories, people want assurance that their information won’t fall into the wrong hands. Earn Trust with Secure Forms Using HTTPS to transmit form data is a solid baseline. However, there’s an even stronger and more structured alternative - Secure Forms. An add‑on module for GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer , Secure Forms not only protect the information being submitted but also streamline how that information moves through your business. Secure Forms offer far more than encrypted submissions. You gain control over how forms look, how they’re accessed, and how the collected data flows into your internal systems. Public or private URLs, automatic encryption for uploaded files, and seamless workflow integration all come standard. Why It’s Worth Upgrading Choosing a purpose‑built Secure Forms solution doesn’t just improve protection - it boosts efficiency across your processes. With GoAnywhere Secure Forms, you can: Build tailored forms for authenticated users or open access Let users upload supporting documents as needed Support drag‑and‑drop file attachments, automatically encrypted with AES‑256 Define your preferred media types Add Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Threat Protection Embed forms directly into your website Use Advanced Workflows to route submitted data into platforms like Salesforce or other business systems Trigger email notifications when submissions are received Insert submitted data straight into a database table. How Secure Forms Work At Generic Systems Australia we have years of experience designing custom Secure Forms for organisations. Or, you can DIY… Build and configure: design a form with the fields and options your process requires. Then share access through either a public or restricted URL, giving you full control over who can submit information. Complete and protect: Users fill out the form and attach any necessary files. Every uploaded item is encrypted automatically using AES‑256, ensuring sensitive content stays protected from the moment it’s submitted. Submit and automate: Once the form is sent, GoAnywhere triggers the workflow you’ve defined. This removes manual steps and ensures the information moves quickly to the right system or team. Customisation Without Compromise Secure Forms are built to adapt to your needs. You can fine‑tune nearly every element, from field labels to file‑upload rules, giving you complete control over the data you collect. You’re able to: Configure fields, dropdowns, tooltips, and default values Accept a wide range of file types Submit forms via SOAP or REST APIs, or directly through a URL Display personalised confirmation messages and provide downloadable follow‑up files (such as PDFs) Redirect users to additional forms after submission Enable or disable submission notifications Set limits on file size, type, and quantity Receive alerts via email or SMS Transform submitted data as needed Allow users to save drafts and finish later. Trust the Secure Forms with a Track Record Recognising GoAnywhere’s advanced capabilities, some software vendors have recently sought to emulate the tried-and-tested Secure Forms approach within their less fully-featured MFT solutions. However, trust is established over a long time. GoAnywhere’s Secure Forms were introduced 2016, and so benefit from a decade of refinement and successful implementation. Here to Help Whether it’s designing and implementing your Secure Forms, or talking more broadly about how MFT can help your business become more secure and efficient, Generic Systems Australia is here to help. No need to do deal with hands-off multinationals and their odd time zones - we’re right here in Australia, right now, ready to help. Previous Next

< News Small-to-Medium Businesses the Big Targets for Cybercrime 17 Mar 2024 While cyberattacks on large corporates make the headlines, it’s small to medium businesses who are being hit the hardest. The 2024 Sophos Threat Report found that the sophistication of cyberthreats faced by small to medium organisations is often on par with those used to attack large enterprises. Apparently, while the amount of money that can be stolen is less than that available from a larger organisation, cybercriminals more than make up the difference in the volume of thefts. More vulnerable, greater impact Sophos say that organisations with fewer than 500 employees are not only more vulnerable to cybercriminals, they also suffer more proportionally from the results of cyberattacks. The greater vulnerability is due to a lack of experienced security operations staff, underinvestment in cybersecurity, and smaller information technology budgets. And, when these businesses are hit by cyberattacks, the expense of recovery forces many to close. Attractive Ransomware Targets 90% of the world’s businesses are small- and medium-sized. In Australia, these businesses contribute more than 60% of the nation’s overall GDP. According to The Institute for Security and Technology’s Ransomware Task Force, 70% of ransomware attacks target small to medium businesses. Other Prevalent Threats Beyond Ransomware, a variety of other cyberthreats also pose an existential threat to small and medium businesses. Data theft is the focus of most malware targeting small and medium businesses. Password stealers, keyboard loggers, and other spyware make up nearly half of malware detections. Credential theft through phishing and malware can expose small businesses’ data on cloud platforms and service providers, and network breaches can be used to target their customers as well. Web-based malware distribution — through “malvertising” or malicious search engine optimisation — is also on the rise. Unprotected devices connected to organisational networks — including unmanaged computers without security software installed, improperly configured computers and systems running software fallen out of support by manufacturers — are a primary point of entry. Attackers are increasingly abusing device drivers — both vulnerable drivers from legitimate companies, and malicious drivers that have been signed with stolen or fraudulently obtained certificates. Email attacks have begun to feature more active engagement with targets over email, using a thread of emails and responses to make their lures more convincing. Attacks on mobile device users, including social engineering-based scams tied to the abuse of third-party services and social media platforms, have grown exponentially, affecting individuals and small to medium businesses. Your Data is Their Target The greatest cybersecurity challenge facing organisations of all sizes is data protection. More than 90% of attacks reported to Sophos involved data or credential theft, with methods ranging from ransomware attacks, to data extortion, unauthorised remote access, and simple data theft. Compromised business email userids are also a substantial problem for small to medium businesses, and the next most prevalent threat after ransomware. Stolen credentials, including browser cookies, can be used to compromise business email userids, provide unauthorised access to third-party services such as cloud-based finance systems, and entry to internal resources. Turning Your Own Tech Against You Sophos said that, as 2023 progressed, they observed an increase in the use of remote execution of ransomware. Unmanaged devices on an organisation’s own network were hijacked to encrypt files on other systems via network file access. Ransomware and other malware developers are increasingly using cross-platform languages to build versions for not only Windows, but also macOS and Linux operating systems. Small and medium businesses also need to be concerned about the security of the services they depend upon to manage their business. Attacks against managed service providers became an enduring part of the ransomware playbook in 2023. How to Protect Your Business Criminal syndicates count on smaller organisations to be less well-defended and to not have deployed modern, sophisticated tools to protect their users and assets. The key to successfully defending against their threat is to use a multi-layered strategy that includes robust data transfer protection, staff education, and multifactor authentication. A Secure Managed File Transfer solution such as the class-leading GoAnywhere MFT addresses the many risks of ad hoc techniques through a holistic approach to security, including: Automatic authentication, encryption and decryption User access controls Auditing and Reporting, and Industry standards compliance.

< News 55T Australian File Transfers in 2025 – How We Calculated that Number 20 Jan 2026 We recently shared that Australians performed about 55 trillion file transfers in 2025. Here’s how we were able to arrive at that total. More than Manual When we talk about digital activity, we tend to picture the visible layer: emails, shared documents, cloud uploads, and messaging app attachments. However, these human‑initiated actions represent only a sliver of the real story. Beneath the surface lies a vast, automated, always‑on ecosystem of backups, sync operations, content delivery networks, and machine‑to‑machine exchanges. No dataset directly reports “file transfers,” so I needed rely on authoritative adjacent metrics: including internet usage, cloud adoption, CDN penetration, and digital‑behaviour statistics. Using AI to comb and extrapolate from available data sources, I built a structured model which quantifies each of the contributing layers. Human‑Initiated File Transfers (~82B) I began with the most intuitive category: files deliberately sent or uploaded by people. Using Australia’s 2025 population (~27M), daily internet usage (97%), and workforce composition, we modelled two groups: • Digital workers sending ~22 files/day (email attachments, cloud uploads, collaboration tools). • General consumers sending ~2.3 files/day (messaging media, photo uploads, social posts). This produced a national total of ~225M files/day, or ~82B per year. Significant, but only the beginning. Automated System Backups (~11T) Modern organisations rely heavily on incremental cloud backups. We estimated: • ~200,000 Australian organisations using automated backup • ~5M files represented in each organisation’s backup set • ~3% of files changing daily This yields ~30B backup‑related file movements per day, or ~11T annually. Backups alone dwarf all human‑initiated activity. Cloud Sync Events (~115B) Cloud sync is the quiet workhorse of digital life - photo libraries, document updates, app data, and multi‑device workflows. With ~60% of Australians using at least one active sync service and ~20 sync events per user per day, we estimate: • ~314 million sync events/day • ~115 billion/year CDN Object Transfers (~34.4T) Every webpage or app screen is assembled from dozens of discrete objects — scripts, images, stylesheets, media chunks. We modelled: • ~300 page/app requests per user per day • ~15 objects per request • ~80% served via CDN This produces ~94B CDN object transfers per day, or ~34.4 trillion per year. This is the single largest contributor. Machine‑to‑Machine Movement (~11.4T) Microservices, logs, IoT payloads, replication events, and internal API calls generate enormous background traffic. Using a conservative multiplier (25% of the combined backup + sync + CDN volume), we estimate: • ~11.4 trillion M2M object movements annually The Total: 50–60T Transfers Summing all layers — human, automated, infrastructural, and machine‑driven — produces a national estimate of ~55T file and object transfers in 2025. Humans account for less than 0.2% of the total. The rest is infrastructure talking to itself. Why This Makes MFT a Must When file movement reaches this scale, traditional ad‑hoc transfer methods — email attachments, unsecured FTP servers, manual uploads — simply cannot cope. They lack visibility, governance, encryption consistency, and auditability. Worse, they create blind spots where sensitive data can leak or compliance obligations can be breached. Managed File Transfer (MFT) provides a structured, policy‑driven, encrypted framework for moving data across systems, partners, and cloud environments. It centralises control, enforces security, and ensures every transfer — human or automated — is logged, governed, and compliant. In a world where trillions of transfers happen without human involvement, MFT isn’t just a convenience. It’s the backbone of digital trust, operational resilience, and regulatory assurance. Here to Help At Generic Systems Australia , we’re Australia’s and New Zealand’s experts in helping businesses implement and take advantage of MFT solutions. We’ve assisted dozens of organisations to make their file transfers resilient, secure and reliable — boosting their efficiency in the process.

Australia’s Consumer Data Right (CDR) requires businesses to carefully plan how they handle, store and disclose the consumer data they collect. This primer explains your obligations, the breaches that can occur, and a strategy to avoid them. Meeting Your Business’s CDR Obligations Australia’s Consumer Data Right (CDR) requires businesses to carefully plan how they handle, store and disclose the consumer data they collect. The CDR provides individuals with the right to access their personal information, and the right of data portability found in the European General Data Protection Right (GDPR). An economy-wide program, it was launched in 2020, and is presently being rolled out sector by sector. CDR enables consumers to safely and conveniently elect to share data about them, held by data holders, with accredited providers. The government’s aim with the program is to make it easier for consumers to compare products and services, access better value and improved services, and assist financial management. Phased Rollout CDR has already been rolled out to the banking and energy sectors. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and co-regulator the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner are responsible for ensuring accredited providers and data holders comply with their CDR obligations. As companies and consumers have greater access to data, and more data files are being transferred than ever before, greater safeguards to protect this data are required. Regulators are deploying a range of tools to monitor and access the available information to ensure consumers have their data security and integrity in place. Their stated goal is to prevent breaches of the CDR’s obligation through compliance management and enforcement. Business Impact Businesses need to consider how they handle the data they collect, including how that data is harvested, stored, used and disclosed, and how it will make consumer data available to its customers and their nominated recipients when requested to do so. Special care of internal systems, processes and compliance is required to prevent breaches. Examples of CDR breaches include: Repeated refusal to disclose consumer data Misleading or deceptive conduct Data collection without valid consent Intentional use or disclosure of data inconsistent with consumer consent Insufficient security controls to protect CDR data Complying with the CDR Businesses under the CDR protocols should consider: Reviewing their policies and processes for privacy and data handling Training staff on their CDR obligations and how to manage the risks involved with handling consumer data Establishing breach notification procedures One way to ensure files are kept secure both at rest and while in transit is to incorporate a managed file transfer system, like GoAnywhere MFT. This secure, automatic software can protect data by: Controlling access to files and data Encrypting data Establishing the correct security settings when sending and/or receiving highly confidential emails Providing automated audits, reports and logs showing who accessed which data, who it was transmitted to, etc. GoAnywhere can also enhance business efficiency be replacing the myriad of legacy manual approaches for file sharing that can proliferate across businesses over time. Further consumer-oriented resources on CDR are available from the Australia Government’s website . RESOURCES HOME

Use APIs to Accelerate Your MFT's ROI. How to boost the ROI of your MFT Read More. Use APIs to Accelerate Your MFT’s ROI Leveraging APIs alongside your Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution is a great way to boost the return on investment from your MFT, and scale its deployment more broadly across your organisation. Here’s how to use APIs to add further automation, integration, scalability, and customisation to your MFT. APIs…? APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) help software applications communicate with another. Enabling APIs with a robust MFT solution is a simple way to add new functionality to your data transfer software, and accelerate the productivity and efficiency gains it offers. APIs will help you integrate your organisation’s data transfers with the many applications your organisation already use daily - CRM platforms, business intelligence tools, ERP systems and more. In doing so, you can synchronise data across your organisation and provide your team with more secure collaboration. Flexible MFT solutions that support APIs also enable you to further customise and automate your file transfers for your unique business and operational needs. Enhanced Security Of particular value is the way APIs can boost an organisation’s cyber defences by integrating their MFT solution with other data-centric security systems. For example, Generic Systems Australia’s Advanced Threat Protection Bundle layers an organisation’s protective measures with the security features of Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT to further secure sensitive data. The added flexibility to evolve and scale as your needs change can be a game changer for IT teams seeking to maximise user experience and organisational ROI. Better Workflows Automated file transfer workflows can be “supercharged” using APIs. Here are seven specific API features and techniques organisations can leverage to maximise the value they derive from their managed file transfer solution. In each of these examples, we’ll feature API integration with GoAnywhere, the independently-assessed class-leading MFT. GoAnywhere not only provides APIs, it can also consume third-party APIs, and act as middleman, or API gateway, between other applications. 1. RESTful API An interface used by two computer systems to securely exchange information over the internet, REST (Representational State Transfer) can be used to manage users, groups, triggers, projects, and schedules. This simplifies new user onboarding and migrating systems and environments. For example, you can use the REST API to create a new web user programmatically and eliminate the manual tasks often needed for on-boarding new trading partners. You can also start/stop file transfer jobs and query the status of active jobs. 2. REST Enable a Secure Form Within the GoAnywhere dashboard you can select REST Enable Secure Forms to trigger more complex API calls on the backend of Advanced Workflows . Then, using standard REST calls you can invoke the secure form and its underlying project. Rest Enabled Secure Forms can also act as a REST API gateway to computing resources normally not available to public internet users. The GoAnywhere server can be deployed on the secure network and the solution’s Secure Gateway can act as the link to the public internet in the DMZ. An administrator can enable curated access to internal REST APIs that would normally be available only via VPN or by a dedicated network connection. Comprehensive audit logs and fine-grained user access controls can turn GoAnywhere MFT into a complete API gateway. The Method createPayload (GET https://localhost :6443/rest/forms/v1/ticket/payload ) will insert the payload. The Method uploadAttachments (POST https://localhost :6443/rest/forms/v1/ticket/payload/ :payloadId /file ) will upload one attachment at a time. The Method submitPayload (POST https://localhost :6443/rest/forms/v1/ticket/payload/ :payloadId /submit ) will submit the payload. The Method downloadAttachment (GET https://localhost :6443/rest/forms/v1/ticket/payload/ :payloadId /file/ :fileId ) will download one attachment at a time. 3. GoAnywhere HTTPS You can use GoAnywhere HTTPS project tasks to automate file transfers, create Secure Mail Packages, or programmatically place files in Secure Folders for uploading or downloading For example, if you need to send a large, automatically generated report to a user, you can enable the GoAnywhere HTTPS Send Package task in GoAnywhere. Simply create a project to automatically pick a file (or files) and send a package as a link via Secure Mail. You can protect that package with a password, track the number of downloads, or prevent further downloads after 24 hours. Another GoAnywhere HTTPS task is the ability to set up programmable uploads to GoDrive, a solution which provides Enterprise File Sync and Sharing (EFSS) services for employees and partners. 4. Quick Uploads Enabling Quick Uploads in HTTP Service enables you to turn GoAnywhere into a REST endpoint for file exchange. Quick Uploads (which requires a POST Method with Authentication) allows the solution to upload files to GoAnywhere via REST, effectively turning your GoAnywhere Secure Folders feature into a REST-enabled file exchange gateway. REST-enabled file exchange is very useful for other applications to have a place to store and exchange files. The end users don’t really know what is happening under the hood, but it allows application developers to provide lots of flexibility and build easy-to-use applications. 5. Project Run Mode You can start a project in the background in the dashboard's triggers, schedules, and within the project designer’s Call Project task. For example, if you need to start a long-running job, you simply start a job in Batch mode, which will run in the background, and the system will be automatically notified when it is finished. Need to copy a huge file set? Then run a Job that spawns multiple Batch Jobs. For example, every sub folder in your file set could be sent as separately spawned batch jobs. Running multiple jobs in the background in parallel will help optimise your computing resources, increase your throughput, and spread the workload to other nodes in your GoAnywhere cluster. In addition to setting the run mode, you can also set the priority and the job queue. For example, some long-running CPU intensive jobs, such as archiving or backup, can be set to run on a lower priority status or on a lower priority queue so that your core MFT operations remain more responsive. 6. Consume Third-Party APIs Consuming APIs is the process by which an application developer accesses the various APIs that are exposed by the API provider and then uses those APIs to develop one’s own software applications and products. Within GoAnywhere you can use HTTP/HTTP Post and GET Project tasks or Webservices REST tasks to call third-party APIs. For example, once a file is uploaded, you can create a trigger that will automatically import the file into third-party applications, such as a CRM or trouble ticketing system. Additionally, GoAnywhere offers Cloud Connectors to the most popular applications in the industry. (If you cannot find a cloud connector for the application you need, use the Project Webservices or HTTP/HTTPS POST Project tasks to connect via REST to the application of your choice.) 7. Promote Features Continuous Integration and Delivery CI/CD functions are important in every large IT Project. GoAnywhere delivers the ability to promote every user, project, schedule, trigger, secure form etc, from development to staging to production. You can use “Promote” REST API calls to automatically migrate your configurations from development to staging to production. Working on a live production system presents additional challenges. Even the most diligent administrators can make mistakes and accidentally delete or rename configurations which take an entire system offline. Using GoAnywhere’s Promote features, either via GUI or as an API call, is required to maintain maximum system stability and reliability. If you do not have a test system yet, consider deploying one to minimise the risk of human error. API Options to Boost Automation GoAnywhere offers many powerful API options that can seamlessly automate basic file transfer tasks for IT teams and users. You can mix and match the seven techniques above to create a next-generation automation framework that goes far beyond standard MFT functionality. Need Help? It’s Here - Locally!
