- Legacy Tech Threatens Your Valuable Data | GSA
< News Legacy Tech Threatens Your Valuable Data 17 Mar 2026 The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has published a warning about the cyber security threat posed by legacy technology. ASD defines legacy technology as “any technology no longer supported by the manufacturer, developer or vendor”. These technologies don’t receive important security updates and patches, and this makes them much more vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, the threat isn’t only to the legacy systems themselves. Cyber thieves can also exploit vulnerabilities in legacy technology to gain access to the modern systems that your organisation relies on. The ASD says that managing legacy technology is a priority in maintaining the overall cyber security of your organisation. They counsel replacing it with technology that is still receiving support and updates from the manufacturer, developer or vendor. Legacy Scripts A related example of a legacy technology that’s way past it’s use-by date is the use of file transfer scripts to move sensitive data between systems. For years, organisations relied on home‑grown file transfer scripts to shuttle data between systems, partners, and applications. Scripts were simple, cheap, and easy to tweak. However, in today’s environment - where security needs are heightened, data volumes more immense, and compliance obligations mandatory - these scripts have quietly become legacy technology. Their limitations aren’t just inconvenient; they introduce operational and security risks that modern organisations should no longer tolerate. Scripts are brittle by design. A small change in a directory name, a certificate expiry, or a vendor endpoint can cause silent failures. Because scripts rarely include centralised logging or alerting, teams often discover issues only after a downstream process breaks. This reactive approach to failures is the opposite of what modern IT environments require. Add in the fact that scripts are usually maintained by a handful of individuals—often without documentation—and you end up with a fragile web of tribal knowledge that becomes a liability when staff move on. Scripts are also inherently insecure. Hard‑coded credentials, inconsistent encryption practices, and ad‑hoc error handling create gaps that attackers can exploit. Regulators increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate control, auditability, and governance over data movement. Scripts simply weren’t built for that world. Modernise with MFT Managed File Transfer (MFT) platforms like the class-leading GoAnywhere MFT solve these problems by replacing scattered scripts with a centralised, policy‑driven system. MFT provides end‑to‑end encryption, automated workflows, real‑time monitoring, and detailed audit trails. Instead of relying on custom code, organisations gain a consistent, supportable framework that scales with business needs. MFT agents extend this capability to remote servers and cloud environments, enabling secure, automated transfers without manual intervention. Replacing legacy scripts with MFT isn’t just an upgrade - it’s a strategic shift toward reliability, visibility, and security. It frees teams from maintenance drudgery and provides organisations the confidence that their critical data flows are controlled, compliant, and future‑ready. Here to Help At Generic Systems Australia, we are Australia’s and New Zealand’s experts in MFT.

- Data Breach Costs Escalate in 2024 | GSA
< News Data Breach Costs Escalate in 2024 14 Aug 2024 $4.26M! That’s the average cost of a data breach in Australia in 2024, according to new research released by IBM. The figure – a record high – represents a whopping 27% increase since 2020. However, while the average cost of a data breach continues to escalate, the types of cyber breaches experienced by Australian organisations continue to be the usual suspects. Under Attack IBM’s research found that Phishing continues to be the most common type of attack vector , with 22% of breaches starting this way. Stolen or compromised credentials were the second most common, accounting for 17% of breaches. Malicious insiders were responsible for the most costly attacks, at 8% of incidents. It took Australian companies on average 266 days to identify/contain cyber incidents. This lengthy period contributed to high detection and escalation costs , which remain the most expensive aspect of a breach, with post-breach response and lost business the second most costly. Almost a third of data breaches involved data stored across multiple environments : public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises systems. Breaches across multiple environments took 13% longer to identify and contain. Organisations with too few cybersecurity staff paid the heaviest price, with an average cost per breach $2.7M higher than organisations with less exposure. However, involving law enforcement saved some ransomware victims as much as $1.5M in costs. Automated Defences Help Companies which didn’t use security AI and automation experienced significantly higher breach costs ($5.21M) than those which did, and it also took them an additional 99 days to identify and contain breaches. The research found that 65% of surveyed Australian organisations leveraged these technologies. However, attackers too are exploiting new opportunities presented by AI. For example, increasingly convincing deepfakes are enabling ever more effective social engineering attacks. Avoiding Costly Cyber Breaches To protect an organisation’s valuable data, it must be protected when it’s stored and while it’s “in motion”. As the research found, automation can ensure this takes place with the entirety of an organisation’s data transfers. Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions such as the class-leading GoAnywhere MFT encrypt data at rest and in transit, complying with the highest data security standards (including the US’s and Europe’s HIPAA, HITECH, PCI DSS, SOX, and GDPR). MFT manages inbound and outbound file transfers across an organisation, using industry-standard file transfer protocols such as SFTP, FTPS, and AS2 to send files securely, and encryption standards such as Open PGP and AES to protect data in transit and at rest. Advanced Threat Protection and Adaptive Loss Prevention add a further layer of defence. SFT Threat Protection enables safe collaboration with external parties, preventing malware from entering your organisation, and reducing opportunities for employees to lose or mishandle sensitive data.

- SES Encrypts and Audits Global Client Data | GSA
< Case Studies SES Encrypts and Audits Global Client Data Decad es of experience helping Asia-Pacific customers have established Generic Systems Australia as our region’s local experts in secure managed file transfer. In this case study, we share how global experts in operational resilience – SES – take advantage of GoAnywhere MFT , the world’s leading MFT solution , to manage the transfer of more than 2,000 files daily. Software escrow agreements are becoming increasingly common for organisations worldwide. Medium and large enterprises, especially those in retail, energy, and financing, rely on these agreements to provide coverage for the unique source code, files, and other software assets critical to a company’s intellectual property. To prevent loss of this information during sudden downtime, a data breach, or natural disaster, organisations create a software escrow agreement with a third-party vendor to protect and back up their data. The third party then takes the data, creates an inventory of everything that’s to be escrowed, and puts the source code and other assets into a vault for maximum protection. SES is a third-party vendor that provides software escrow agreements, intellectual property protection, and cybersecurity risk management globally. Based in Manchester, UK, SES has more than twenty years of experience providing security to more than 2,500 professionals in 40+ countries. "Dealing with software escrow agreements is our bread and butter," said Tom Sweet, Information Security and Systems Manager at SES. It’s an area of constant growth and adjusting to keep clients happy and source code regularly updated. We are continually developing and innovating.” Often, SES does this with tools such as GoAnywhere MFT. For SES, GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) has been a well-used and finely-tuned addition to its cybersecurity solutions. With the software in place, it performs on average nearly 2,000 uploads for clients per day — a mix of small and large files — as well as help monthly and quarterly businesses with their source code deposits. Switched from Manual File Transfers to Managed File Transfer Before GoAnywhere came into the picture, SES used a web gateway, an AWS-backed instance, to receive source code for its clients. It also occasionally used old-fashioned file transfer methods: physical disks and SD cards that were tracked, signed for, and had a direct chain of custody which could be followed. While this mixed process — AWS-backed instance and physical mail — worked at the time, it still lacked the ability to track user and file transfer activity. Having an audit trail was important to the business. When auditing also became a client requirement, SES looked for a way to streamline, structure, encrypt, and audit the exchange of data. SES handled a high volume of file transfers and needed robust security practices for the data it processed and stored every week. So the it was time to find a centralised solution which could do all of this and meet its trading partners’ needs. The tracked-and-signed file transfer processes SES used led to an evaluation of GoAnywhere MFT, a robust and fast-growing product which used similar techniques (tracking, signing, and a clear chain of custody) for sensitive file transfers. GoAnywhere was a hit. It took Tom Sweet mere days to learn the product. He attended two webinars, then jumped in and followed his intuition. The turnaround had to be quick, but the learning curve was straightforward. SES implemented GoAnywhere across its Linux systems and has depended on it ever since for day-to-day file transfers, streamlined encryption, and consistent auditing. Benefit#1: File Encryption and Security With GoAnywhere fully implemented, SES has been able to ensure all file transfers sent by its clients are encrypted in transit and sent to the right place. SES has also ensured that encryption keys are held separately. These are just two of the strict requirements SES needs to follow for its clients in order to stand out in a sea of escrow and backup service platforms. "It’s risk versus security," Tom said. "With HR and payroll data, the risk is high, so the security needs to be high as well."nearly 2,000 uploads for clients per day — a mix of small and large files — as well as help monthly and quarterly businesses with their source code deposits. Benefit#2: Fast File Transfer & Trading Partner Setup New trading partners and file transfer users can be set up in minutes. "Less than that if I’m rushed," Tom said. "The quickest ones we’ve had people test: I’ve sent the email saying here’s your username, sent the password out over SMS, and people test the log-in within 10 minutes." Sweet uses private and public keys to ensure the encryption and validity of the new transfers he creates. When the file transfers are executed, most run, start to finish, in less than 30 minutes. Benefit #3: Ease of Use & Automation "The main thing we use GoAnywhere for is managing users, auditing the logs, and giving users a secure gateway into our systems that would normally be firewalled," Tom, said. All of this is simple with GoAnywhere, and he believes the product’s biggest strength is its ease of use. Whether he needs to streamline, update, or re-deploy the product across systems and users, the process has been painless. Automation is another huge benefit of GoAnywhere. SES use GoAnywhere to do the heavy lifting for SaaS-based clients. These clients transfer large amounts of source code end data that are pushed into a SaaS escrow and captured in real time. "We help these clients configure a script that connects over SFTP to a GoAnywhere service," Tom said. "GoAnywhere then audits those transfers." The product securely transfers and audits at the same time, all automatically for nearly 60 clients who need their source code updated on a daily or monthly frequency. This enables SES to automate on Windows and Linux to meet the security requirements of each client. GoAnywhere’s granular security controls enabled Sweet to make GoAnywhere as safe and security-driven as possible against internal risks and user errors. "I stripped it back to who can do what," he said. Previously shared passwords were locked down. Web users were restricted to only the areas of the product they needed, and file storage was controlled — files could only be stored in the right areas of the network. "If someone in a company wanted access to the transfers, or to the systems, they could break the loop to that cycle. So that’s why we vault [client data] and back it up in an encrypted format. We make sure the file transfers are encrypted; that’s key too." Benefit#4: Regulation Compliance Many SES clients have compliance requirements which SES must meet. To achieve these needs, SES has applied ISO 27001 compliance across all clients to ensure all information sent between SES and other companies is secure. "ISO 27001 mandates that we create policies, processes, and procedures which we can prove using evidence-based systems," Tom said. "This says, ‘Okay, by default, you [the client] get all of this [security]. All files will be encrypted, and all second factor messages will be sent out-of-band so they aren’t sent over the same method of communication, and so on." Meanwhile, while encryption is the same and applied for everyone, clients can choose if they want to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with passwords or SSH keys for an extra layer of security. GoAnywhere offers multi-factor authentication methods, including keys and certificates, for increased file protection. SES also uses GoAnywhere to encrypt every backup of escrow data that is then kept in offline vaults. "This ensures there’s 99.9% availability," Tom said. "No one thinks escrow is important until it’s too late," he added, so SES provides these offline backups with GoAnywhere’s help to give organisations peace of mind. Benefit#5: Auditing and Administration One of the biggest justifications for purchasing GoAnywhere was its auditing functionality. Tom and his team uses these audit logs to see who is connecting to their SFTP servers, what they’re doing on those servers, and how much they’ve done. This level of detail is critical, especially when dealing with sensitive escrow documents, software assets, and source code. "The log-in and auditing process in GoAnywhere is important for our information security standards. We audit the transfers not just to be able to take them securely, but also to prove who has been on and transferred what and when. The audit trail is important." If Sweet needs to change something, GoAnywhere makes it easy. Admins can make modifications or adjustments to their processes to keep constant with security requirements. "We can do this with GoAnywhere very easily," he said. "Then we just send out a new host key to our clients." What’s Next: Remote Agents and Advanced Workflows Right now, SES retrieves files from clients. But in the near future, it hopes to roll out GoAnywhere Remote Agents and GoAnywhere Advanced Workflows for customers who want zero involvement in the file transfer process. With these features enabled, Sweet and his team will be able to pull data from each client when needed without requiring manual work or engagement on their end. "Remote agents and advanced workflows will enable us to go out, talk to, and pull the requests for daily, weekly, or monthly file transfers," Tom explained. One Admin, One Product Tom Sweet has used GoAnywhere for four years. As the main product administrator, he’s always looking for new ways to implement the software, integrate it with other web and cloud services, roll it out as part of security-client processes, and improve the success of GoAnywhere at SES. "I want to get as much out of the product as I can," Tom said, reflecting on being the singular admin for GoAnywhere. "The more I push it out, the more we get a better return from our customer experience." And for any organisation — SES included — customer satisfaction is top priority. GoAnywhere’s encryption, automation, and ease of use help make that happen. Previous Next

- Top Cyber Security Agency Reports on Most Common Cyber Threats to Businesses | GSA
< News Top Cyber Security Agency Reports on Most Common Cyber Threats to Businesses 3 Dec 2024 The latest annual report by Australia’s top cyber security agency – The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) – contains sobering details about the challenges being confronted daily by Australian businesses. Describing the current cyber security strategy environment as “the most complex and challenging … since the Second World War”, the ASD says advancements in critical and emerging technologies dramatically improve the ability of cyber thieves targeting Australian organisations. Cyber Crime Increasing ASD received more than 36,700 calls to its Australian Cyber Security Hotline during the 2023-24 financial year - up 12% on the previous year. It responded to more than 1,100 cyber security incidents, and notified organisations of potential malicious activity on their networks more than 930 times. However, these numbers are merely the tip of the iceberg relative to the total number of attempted hacks. ASD characterised cybercrime as “a persistent and disruptive threat”. Contributing to the surge in cyber crime is the availability of new opportunities and technologies such as artificial intelligence. This is reducing the level of sophistication needed for cybercriminals to operate, and attracting new criminals to the field. Top Business Threats Compromised business email accounts (20%) and fraud (13%) were among the top self-reported cybercrimes for businesses and individuals in Australia during the last financial year. Online banking fraud accounted for a further 13% of incidents. Ransomware and data theft extortion (stealing data without encrypting their victims’ systems) also remained a pervasive and costly threat. The top 5 sectors reporting cybercrimes to law enforcement were: Retail trade (15%) Professional, scientific and technical services (13%) Construction (12%) Financial and insurance services (8%) Other services (7%) Average Losses by Businesses Interestingly, the average self-reported cost of cybercrime to Australian business fell slightly vs the previous financial year: Small businesses: $49,615 (down 8%) Medium businesses $62,870 (down 35%) Large businesses $63,602 (down 11%) However, it’s worth bearing mind recent research which shows a large number of businesses did not report ransomware payments in 2023-24. Cybercrime Reports by State and Territory Australia’s more populous states continue to report more cybercrime, with Queensland and Victoria reporting disproportionately higher rates of cybercrime relative to their populations. The highest self-reported financial losses were from victims in NSW (~$86,000 per cybercrime) followed by Victoria (~$66,000). Common Cybercrime Techniques The ASD says Credential Stuffing – using stolen usernames and passwords to access other services and accounts via automated logins – is one of the most common cyber attacks. Another common technique is Password Spraying - a brute-force attack where cybercriminals attempt to access a large number of accounts with commonly used passwords. Quishing - Quick Response (QR) phishing – is another growing threat. Cybercriminals use QR – for example, on a café menu, or a subtly altered public notice - to trick people into providing personal information or downloading malware onto their smart device. Combating the Threats In its report, ASD urges organisations to replace unsupported information and communications technology systems with secure-by-design products, and consider cyber security when implementing new technologies. Two great examples of secure-by-design protective technologies are those that we recommend at Generic Systems Australia. Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a technology which enables organisations to securely exchange data between systems and people in an automated, reliable and efficient way. Advanced Threat Protection adds a further layer of defence, seamlessly integrating your managed file transfers with adaptive data loss prevention to keep sensitive data secure. ASD also urges organisations to prepare a cyber security incident response plan and test it regularly to ensure an effective response and fast recovery. The process of developing such a plan will help an organisation understand the nature of its most valuable data, where it is stored, which systems and individuals have access to it, and how it is protected – or exposed to – malicious threats.

- Keeping Ahead of Competition in Commercial Real Estate | GSA
< Case Studies Keeping Ahead of Competition in Commercial Real Estate Decades of experience helping Asia-Pacific customers have established Generic Systems Australia as our region’s local experts in secure managed file transfer. In this case study, we share the many ways in which an international commercial real estate firm leverages the flexibility of GoAnywhere MFT . One commercial real estate company has a mission to redefine their industry with long-term investments in people and technology that deliver actionable insights and create the best customer experience. They’ve also made it their mission to ensure any data they’re transferring is transferred securely. This corporation is an industry-leading commercial real estate company that offers a robust suite of services to its multifamily and commercial property clients. They offer services in commercial real estate investment sales, mortgage banking, and mortgage servicing. They now operate worldwide, have over 1,000 employees, and have closed billions of dollars in production volume. GoAnywhere MFT plays a key role in their success. Retiring REST A Senior Engineer provided some insight into the company’s three-year usage of GoAnywhere. Originally, when they needed to wire SFTP files to the bank, they used a homegrown tool, built internally and solely for the purpose of SFTP transfers to wire payments. However, because processes were taking too much time, they decided to look elsewhere for a better solution. What they found exceeded their original expectations. Prior to implementing GoAnywhere MFT, the process of keeping data consistent was a challenge. Stated the Senior Engineer: “Before GoAnywhere, we used the same REST call and put data in the SQL Server, but I was having a hard time with Windows vs. AWS and Azure and getting the same data repeatedly.” With GoAnywhere, Windows can grab data easily and consistently. Daily Deliveries Once the Senior Engineer learned the product, which didn’t take long, they were an expert in GoAnywhere. Now, more than 1,715 jobs are run each day. Most of the file transfers are B2B, moving from the company to a financial institution of some sort. “We wanted something that could go to a database seamlessly. We must get files to the bank in a very timely matter. Every wire file goes to the Federal Reserve and must get a Federal Reserve number before it can be funded to the bank. That all takes time. You don’t want to be at a standstill at 5:00 pm on a Friday trying to figure out why you can’t get a wire file to a bank! They’re funding loans that are $40 million!” Now the Senior Engineer can set up new transfers in just two minutes once they have all the information and can execute transfers in 10 seconds. If it clears, transfers start and stop in about one second! “Currently, we have 63 projects running in the GoAnywhere scheduler. We started with 15 and it has grown from there.” Mortgage Rate Magic Aside from the daily deliveries, the company also utilises GoAnywhere to stay one step ahead of their competition and offering the best mortgage rates possible. Mortgage rates update every minute. Because the company is committed to offering the best interest rate in the steep pool of competition, they avoid offering one single rate per day, as some of their competitors do. It’s especially important for them to pull the data in real time because even a couple of points in an interest rate change can make a big difference. GoAnywhere MFT helps the company’s competitive edge thrive and delivers an advantage by allowing real-time interest rate comparison. “We use MFT to get the latest mortgage rates available,” the Senior Engineer said. “We have several applications that use these rates. Each time you pull the rates, it costs money. Instead of having each application pull rates, we have MFT make a REST call to grab the rates and push them into a SQL Server, for all of our on-premises dotnet applications to use.” All applications that need the updated rates call the SQL Server to get the rates in real time. From there on, the rates are formatted into a JSON file and sent to AWS, where the rest of their cloud-based apps can use them. All applications have the same data source that is updated at the same time; therefore, they only need one outbound call to grab the rates. All the apps in the AWS environment can also get the necessary rates at the exact same time. It doesn’t matter which application connects; it should get the same rate. Exceeding Expectations Among transferring files securely, upgrades and updates for GoAnywhere MFT have served as an additional, yet unexpected benefit for the company. They have been easy to complete, and the Senior Engineer was able to successfully conduct their company’s annual disaster recovery (DR) test without fail. Overall, the Senior organization is very satisfied with their experience using GoAnywhere MFT. At this commercial real estate company, GoAnywhere’s flexibility is exploited for a great many time-saving projects, allowing valuable staff and system time to be directed to other areas. Although the company is typically using GoAnywhere MFT to transfer daily B2B files to financial institutions and provide competitive mortgage rates to their clients, their Senior Engineer said they often find new ways to leverage the product. “In meetings when someone has an idea, or has been doing something manually repeatedly, I know that GoAnywhere can take care of it and do what’s being requested. I always say, ‘We can do that! They can do this!’” Previous Next
- "Flip the Scripts" ... and Transfer Files Efficiently | GSA
< News "Flip the Scripts" ... and Transfer Files Efficiently 20 Oct 2023 Replace Risky File Transfer Scripts with GoAnywhere MFT Once upon a time, writing scripts to partially-automate the transferring of files was “good enough”. However, technology has moved on. With cybersecurity threats multiplying and businesses focused on improving productivity, script-based file transfers just aren’t cutting it anymore. Why Replace File Transfer Scripts? Scripts aren’t secure . For example, user credentials aren’t encrypted, putting your entire system at risk. Scripts lack advanced features . For example, automating file transfers with FTP requires adding a second solution, a time-consuming and complex prospect. It’s also difficult to build in re-try features, and lock down how users interact with sensitive data. Scripts don’t play well with new tech . For example, modern cloud-based computing environments require file transfers to be integrated with cloud-based solutions, and platforms such as Azure and AWS. Scripts can be time consuming . Developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting scripts takes time, distracting valuable support staff from more important things. Worse, if they’re not available when a script fails, it bottlenecks your workflow. Scripts don’t have logging built in . All logging needs to be built into your scripts. Accessing those logs can be time consuming and difficult, requiring an effective filter and search tools. The Benefits of Replacing Homegrown Scripts As well as increasing the security of your file transfers, moving away from scripts provides your organisation with many other advantages: Centralise workflow . Instead of using multiple different tools, programs, and scripts to encrypt, send, and automate your file transfers, GoAnywhere MFT enables all of these from a single interface. That significantly streamlines day-to-day operations and reduces wasted tool maintenance time. Automate . No matter the volume of files to be transferred across your business and supply chain, GoAnywhere enables your team to spend time focusing on other things. Comply with regulations . By logging file transfers and access across your organisation, GoAnywhere MFT proves your compliance with legal requirements, such as data privacy and encryption. Those logs are also very handy if you’re conducting an audit, or forensics on an internal security breach. The Far Better Alternative GoAnywhere is the industry’s leading Managed File Transfer solution. It ensures data is transferred securely - both internally and externally – and accelerates your team’s productivity. If you’d like to learn more about how GoAnywhere MFT could add to your organisation’s bottom line, please feel free to contact me ( bradley@gensys.com.au ), or read more at the Generic Systems Australia website .
