GoAnywhere Modules Available to License Fortra's GoAnywhere is a robust and complete managed file transfer solution. Augmenting its capabilities are Modules that can satisfy an even broader array of file transfer requirements. You can choose to license and pay for only the modules you currently need, and easily unlock additional modules, if necessary. ADVANCED WORKFLOWS The Advanced Workflows Module is used when you are initiating the transfer (push/pull), if PGP encryption/decryption is needed, if data needs to be pulled from or uploaded to a database, and if additional actions in a workflow need to be called before/after a file exchange. GoAnywhere MFT includes more than 60 built-in tasks for performing a wide variety of business processes. This includes tasks to retrieve and distribute files, transform data, encrypt/decrypt files, compress/decompress files and interact with databases. Other tasks can be used to call native commands, execute programs, send emails, search and replace file contents and more. You can also build your own custom tasks to use within Projects. This is especially helpful if you need to perform special processing or connect to ERP systems and other applications using proprietary interfaces. Multiple tasks can be "chained" together within a Project to perform a series of steps. For example, a Project could be defined with a task to retrieve an XML file from a trading partner, then another task to parse the XML and finally a task to import the data into a database table. Built-in Tasks include: -Compression (inc Zip, UnZip, GZip, GUnzip, Tar, Untar) -Database (SQL statements supported by the database server) -Data Translation (inc CSV, Excel, Fixed-Width, Flat File, XML, JSON, RowSet) -Email & SMS -File System -File Transfer -Integration (IBM I, Native Commands, SSH commands, ICAP, SNMP Trap) -Job Control (Calls to Modules and Projects, If/Else Conditionals, Timing, Error logging etc) -Loops (Do-While, For-Each, Iterate, While etc) -Miscellaneous (Base64, Deny Trigger Event, Print, Secure Form Response, Set Variable, Timestamp) -Message Queue (Send, Retrieve, Commit, Rollback etc) -PGP (Encryption, Decryption, Sign, Verify) -Project (Comment, Import, Modules, Variables) -Reports (>20 customisable Reports) -Web Services (JWT, SOAP, REST) SFTP SERVER The SFTP Server Module handles the server side of an SFTP transfer. Your partner connects to you via SFTP and initiates the transfer. An SFTP server provides a way for organisations to securely exchange sensitive files over a network. SFTP helps ensure data integrity and security by using encryption and authentication during the file transfer process. GoAnywhere MFT, an enterprise-level file transfer solution, allows your trading partners to securely exchange files with your organisation using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure Copy) protocols. The solution also supports the latest SSH 2.0 protocol standard and allows for both password and SSH key authentication. An encrypted tunnel is created between the SFTP server in GoAnywhere MFT and any trading partners, which protects all data, user ids, passwords and commands that flow over the connection. Secure FTP is critical for compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, SOX and state privacy laws. Through GoAnywhere’s SFTP client, organisations can exchange files between their local system and a remote server, with data encrypted via the SSH protocol. SFTP Server Features: -Highly scalable with no restrictions on the number of trading partners. -Support for multiple listeners with configurable port numbers -Remote administration and monitoring through a browser-based interface -Robust security and granular permission controls -Multiple authentication methods; database, Active Directory (AD), LDAP and IBM i -Administrators can view active sessions for logged-in users -Event triggers to automatically process files or send email notifications -Support for client requests to resume file transfers -Configurable settings for maximum number of sessions, maximum login failures and idle timeouts -ZLIB compression to reduce bandwidth requirements -Ability to accept or reject files with certain extensions -Allows only strong NIST-certified encryption algorithms when in FIPS 140-2 Compliance mode -Can be installed in the private network without opening inbound ports, when paired with GoAnywhere Gateway in the DMZ SFTP Logging Audit trails (logs) are generated for all SFTP and SCP sessions in GoAnywhere MFT to meet auditing and compliance requirements. This detail includes: -commands issued -messages -IP addresses -user ids -file names transferred. Log messages can additionally be sent to a SYSLOG server using UDP or TCP connections. SSH Key Management Intuitive graphical screens are provided in GoAnywhere MFT to allow for the management of SSH Keys. This Key Manager can be used to create SSH public and private keys, import and export keys, and view keys. Both RSA and DSA key types are supported with key lengths up to 4096 bits. High Availability Planning with SFTP When it comes to file transfers, it’s critical that organisations are able to complete them without disruption. Businesses can choose from either active-passive and active-active high availability plans. -Active-passive plan failure downtime for trading partners can run from a few seconds to a few hours depending on how organisations start the passive system. -Active-active plan failure downtime is most commonly zero because there is always a backup system that can take over in a moment of system failure. These high availability plans can help organisations minimise and avoid downtime, meet SLAs, and increase user satisfaction. Standards Support for SFTP Server: -Protocol: SSH 2.0 -Ciphers: AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, Triple DES (DESede), Blowfish -MAC Algorithms: HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA2-256, HMAC-MD5 -Key Exchange Algorithms: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1, diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 -Compression: ZLIB FTPS SERVER The FTPS Server Module handles the server side of a FTPS transfer. Your partner connects to you via FTPS and initiates the transfer. GoAnywhere MFT acts as FTPS software that allows your trading partners to securely exchange files with your organisation using FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) protocol. GoAnywhere MFT supports both implicit SSL and explicit SSL connection types. Dual factor authentication can be performed using user ids, passwords and certificates. An encrypted tunnel will be created between the FTPS server in GoAnywhere MFT and any trading partners, which will protect all data, user ids, passwords and commands that flow over the connection. Secure FTP is critical for compliance with many data privacy laws. FTPS Server Software Features: -No restrictions on the number of trading partners -Support for multiple listeners with configurable port numbers -Remote administration and monitoring through a browser-based interface -Robust security and granular permission controls -Multiple authentication methods; database, Active Directory (AD), LDAP, and IBM i -Administrators can view active sessions for logged-in users -Event triggers to automatically process files or send email notifications -Support for client requests to resume file transfers -Anonymous logins can be enabled or disabled -Custom welcome and logout messages -Authentication can be performed using self-signed and 3rd-party signed certificates -Configurable settings for maximum number of sessions, maximum login failures, and idle timeouts -Ability to accept or reject files with certain extensions -Allows only strong NIST-certified encryption algorithms when in FIPS 140-2 Copliance mode -Can be installed in the private network without opening inbound ports, when paired with GoAnywhere Gateway in the DMZ FTPS Logs Audit trails (logs) are generated for all FTPS sessions in GoAnywhere MFT to meet auditing and compliance requirements. This detail includes commands issued, messages, IP addresses, user ids and file names transferred. Log messages can additionally be sent to a SYSLOG server using UDP or TCP connections. X.509 Certificate Management The GoAnywhere MFT Certificate Manager allows authorised administrators to work with X.509 certificates. This Certificate Manager can be used to create certificates, generate CSRs, import CA replies, import trusted certificates, export and view certificates. RSA and DSA key types are supported with key lengths up to 4096 bits. Certificates can be configured to expire at specified dates. FTPS Server Standards Support: -SSL/TLS Versions: SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, -Connection Types: Implicit SSL -Implicit SSL Security Protocols: SSL, TLS -Ciphers: AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, DES, RC4, Triple DES (DESede) -Authentication and Key Exchange Algorithms: Diffie-Hellman, DSA, RSA -Hash Algorithms: MD5, SHA1, SHA2 -Certificate Key Store Formats: JKS (Java Key Store), PKCS12 SECURE FOLDERS The Secure Folder Module allows web users to connect to your HTTPS server via a browser. GoAnywhere MFT can be utilised for exchanging files with HTTP servers (Web Sites). Connections can be made to both standard HTTP servers and secure HTTPS servers using SSL/TLS. HTTP(S) servers can be pre-defined in GoAnywhere MFT's Administrator as reusable Resources which can then be selected from simple drop down menus. HTTP Tasks can be placed within GoAnywhere MFT Projects and executed as part of a cohesive workflow process. For example, a Project could be defined to get a CSV file from a HTTPS server, read the data from the CSV file, and import the data into a database file. HTTP(S) Features in GoAnywhere MFT: -Cookies support -HTTP Redirects support -Perform requests with parameters -Download/upload multiple files per session -Filter files to download based on last modified date/time -Utilises only strong NIST-certified encryption algorithms when in FIPS 140-2 Compliance mode -Pass in variables (at runtime) to override HTTP(S) attributes AS2, AS3, & AS4 SEND/RECEIVE The AS2, AS3, & AS4 Send/Receive Module enables secure protocols that send and receive messages. AS2 supports the encryption of messages between trading partners and vendors via HTTPS. AS4 is an open B2B standard for exchanging secure documents between businesses using web services. Each protocol provides an extra layer of security through the use of digital signatures. AS2, AS3, and AS4 are licensed by number of partners. GoAnywhere is Drummond Certified, which is required by many businesses that exchange via AS2 and AS4. SECURITY DOMAINS The Security Domains Module makes it possible to virtually segment a GoAnywhere installation into multiple security zones. Every license includes two domains. More domains are useful if you want to manage file transfers and associated users in their own domain (by department for example). Admin Users can be authorised to specific Domains, in which those users can only work with the items belonging to those Domains. Examples of items that can be assigned to Domains are Resources, Projects, Schedules, Monitors, Triggers, Admin Users and Web Users. Each Domain can be configured with file access restrictions to prevent users from accessing restricted network locations. SECURE MAIL The Secure Mail Module allows your employees to send messages and files as secure "packages" on an ad-hoc basis. Recipients will get an email with a unique link to each package, allowing them to download the message and files through a secure HTTPS connection. This is a great alternative to regular email since there are no file size or file type restrictions. Secure Mail Features: -Secure Mail can be sent from within the user's browser or from Microsoft Outlook -Multiple files can be attached to a single package -No file size limitations or file type restrictions -Includes options to set expiration dates and maximum downloads -URL link for each package is randomly generated using a universally unique identifier (UUID) -Packages can additionally be secured using a system-generated or user-specified password -Recipients do not have to deal with keys or certificates -Files are transferred over a secure HTTPS connection -Sender can choose to receive notifications when packages are read -Sender can "recall" packages to make unavailable to recipients -Customisable templates allow rebranding messages with your own logo, colours, fonts, etc. -View audit trails of all package activity (e.g. when sent, when opened, when downloaded, etc.) GoAnywhere MFT is installed within your network, so your organisation will keep localised control over the Secure Mail settings, packages and audit trails. Files will remain on your system until they are downloaded by the recipients; the files are not hosted by a 3rd party. Your employees can authenticate against an existing Active Directory (AD), LDAP or IBM i system within your network. Five free Secure Mail users are included with every GoAnywhere license. Composing Emails Messages can be composed through the GoAnywhere MFT browser-based interface or by using the GoAnywhere Outlook Plugin. With the Outlook Plugin, the user would compose the message in Microsoft Outlook as normal.  When ready to send, the user would click on the new "Send Secure Mail" button to pass the message through the GoAnywhere MFT Secure Mail module. Rules can be set to automatically use Secure Mail whenever the user sends large file attachments using the regular Outlook "Send" button. The Outlook plugin supports Kerberos Single Sign-on for easier adoption by your users. Email Notifications Each recipient of a Secure Mail package will receive a notification via email. The notification will show the message subject, a summary of the attachments and a link for downloading the files in the package.  Secure Email Downloads When a recipient clicks on the link in the notification email, it will open the download page over secure HTTPS protocol. The user can then just click on the files to download or open. Secure Email Administration Secure Mail settings, packages and audit logs are managed within the GoAnywhere MFT browser-based administrator. To minimise disk space usage, GoAnywhere MFT can automatically purge packages when they expire or when they meet their maximum download count. ADVANCED REPORTING The Advanced Reporting Module gives you access to important system information as PDF documents. Easily generate reports of file transfer activity, user statistics, and completed jobs from within the console. Filter reports by date, user ID, and other criteria to gain insight into the information that matters to you, as either detailed or high-level summary reports, both available with informative charts and graphs. Alongside the built-in reports, custom reports can be created using data provided from a database, CSV, Excel, fixed-width, XML, or JSON files. Reports can either be run as needed, directly through the browser-based console, or scheduled and either distributed to the network or sent via email. Custom Reporting: -a custom report based on data from a database, CSV, Excel, fixed-width, XML, or JSON file to give you ultimate flexibility on reporting.

If a security setting does not meet the standard, the report will indicate the corresponding PCI DSS section and the recommendation on how to correct the security setting. GoDrive The GoDrive Module provides Enterprise File Sync and Sharing (EFSS) services for your employees and partners. With GoDrive, files and folders can be easily shared between users with advanced collaboration features including file revision tracking, commenting, trash bin, media viewing and synchronisation with Windows, Apple and Android devices. GoDrive is your best alternative to cloud-based file sharing services. It provides on-site file storage with localised control, end-to-end encryption, and detailed audit trails. Security GoDrive provides end-to-end encryption for sensitive files. Since no files are stored in the cloud, your organisation maintains local control to meet compliance requirements. In addition to the full complement of security features in GoAnywhere MFT, GoDrive includes: -Set granular permissions at the folder, subfolder and individual file level -Dual-factor PIN authorisation for device registration -AES 256-bit encryption on files synced to GoDrive devices Administration Included with GoAnywhere MFT, GoDrive provides a browser-based interface for administrators to easily manage users, security settings and shared folders. -Set disk quotas and view disk usage -Deactivate and wipe GoDrive folders from stolen or lost end-user devices Collaboration Sharing files with others is a snap using GoDrive. We even give you 5 free Users to get started, along with 5 free Secure Mail Users for any paid GoAnywhere license. Employees can quickly invite authorised users to work with their shared folders and files using the provided browser interface. Sharing: -Easily drag-n-drop files between the desktop and GoDrive folders -Generate automatic email invitations to shared users -Create public links to share files outside your organisation -Enter file comments, as well as review comment history from other users -Organise files into user-defined folders and subfolders -View thumbnail images of graphics files -Search for files and folders Monitor: -User can monitor shared files via activity streams -Receive email notices when shared files are downloaded or modified by others -View and recover prior versions of files Manage: -Lock files for restricting access -Revoke sharing of folders and files when needed -Place files into a recycle bin for future recovery -Manage shared folder access with granular permissions -View history of when files are downloaded, uploaded and modified GoAnywhere Desktop Client The GoAnywhere Desktop Client for Windows and Mac will synchronise your files from the GoDrive folder on your workstation with the GoAnywhere MFT server. Files automatically appear on each of your registered devices, as well as the Web Client, allowing you to access your files from any internet connected computer. The GoAnywhere Desktop Client for Windows supports Kerberos Single Sign-on for easier adoption by your users. GoDrive Mobile App The GoDrive mobile app allows you to access files on your iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets for your authorised account. These files can be previewed or optionally downloaded for offline access. Your files and folders will be automatically updated to the most current version each time you connect to the server. Logging and Reporting Capturing detailed audit log information and exporting for reporting purposes is a cornerstone of GoAnywhere MFT. GoDrive logs each time a file is uploaded, downloaded, edited, shared, commented on, and deleted. Scalability and High Availability Clustering provides scalability that allows GoDrive to support thousands of users while active-active maximises availability for mission critical file sharing. SECURE FORMS The Secure Forms Module (which requires Advanced Workflows) allows your end-users to fill out and submit information online through secure custom-made forms with one or more input values, optionally upload files through GoAnywhere's HTTPS Web Client, or submit forms online by making SOAP or REST requests from your custom built applications. When a form is submitted, a Project in GoAnywhere is executed to automatically process the submitted values and files. Use Secure Forms to control the data that end-users provide when submitting information. GoAnywhere administrators can define Secure Forms with: -Configurable input fields -Custom labels -File upload components When the Project processes the Secure Form, it can return a custom message and one or more output files to the user. A Secure Form can be specified to various intended languages. For example, two forms may be created that serve the same purpose, but one may be in French while the other is in English. GoAnywhere administrators can choose their preferred language in the Web Client, which will then only show forms that are applicable to the selected language. Secure Form Submission A Secure Form can be authorised to one or more Web Users, who must then log in through the Web Client to complete the form. Optionally, Secure Forms can be configured to allow anonymous users to access the form through a public URL. Secure Form Use Cases Secure Forms are used by organisations in all industries to streamline, centralise, and standardise information intake. Companies have used Secure Forms to reduce the number of ways in which files arrive (i.e., by fax, email, or other online submission), collect confidential information, and ensure data is delivered securely. In one example, Secure Forms are used to collect electronic voting ballots by prompting the user to enter their voting information and attach a scanned PDF. A Project workflow then automatically process and distribute this electronic ballot to the appropriate election official based on the voting information provided by the end-user within the Secure Form. Secure Forms Features: -Custom, fillable Secure Forms for either public or authenticated users -Flexible configuration and design options to control the position of form features such as buttons -Customise and control the input text, options, and dropdown fields with default values, tooltips, and placeholders -Projects that automate processing the Secure Form input data and, optionally, provide output messages and one or more files for users to download -Fully customisable Text Area components, including the ability to override the button labels, the characters remaining text, and the drop zone on File Upload components -Successful submission messages presented to users when Secure Forms are submitted -Drag and drop upload for files which are automatically secured with AES-256 bit encryption -Limit file upload parameters, including the file types that are permitted to upload, file size, and maximum number of files -Save drafts of Secure Forms to finish at a later date -View Secure Form submission history, including when the form was completed, the user who completed the form, the user’s responses, and more -Supports SOAP and RESTful Web Service APIs to allow you to submit forms from other applications AGENTS The Agents Module (which requires Advanced Workflows) enables lightweight applications that automate your file transfers and workflows on systems (both remote and on-premises) throughout your enterprise. The agents are managed by a central deployment of GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT), which allows you to configure and schedule agent file transfers and business processes from an intuitive, browser-based interface. Agent Features: -Control agents remotely from the central server. -Process files on the agent or send them to GoAnywhere for further processing. -Deploy remote agents wherever they're needed: on a server, to a trading partner location, or in the cloud. -Automatically upgrade agents to the latest version without causing downtime. -Customise your software library of agent installers to fit the needs of your environment. How Agents Work When your file transfers execute, all log data is streamed from the agents (wherever they’re deployed) to GoAnywhere for consolidated auditing and reporting. This unique approach provides visibility into all the file transfers running within the organisation. MFT agents can be installed onto almost any server or workstation where file transfers or workflows need to be performed. This includes Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM I, and Mac OS systems. For organisations who prefer to perform their file transfers in the cloud, GoAnywhere MFT supports the use of agents remotely in cloud infrastructure such as Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure. Agent Functionality Here are examples of what agents can do to assist your IT initiatives: -Automate and secure file transfers within a centrally managed environment -Monitor folders on agent systems for new or modified files -Schedule agent file transfers to run at future dates/times -Provide additional workflow capabilities such as compression, decompression, data parsing, database integration, PGP encryption and decryption, SFTP and SCP file transfers, and native command execution -Send email or text message alerts when agent file transfers fail -Feed audit data to GoAnywhere MFT for central reporting -Monitor location and status via an interactive agent map -Deploy automatic notifications if an agent goes offline Remote Agent Deployment After installing GoAnywhere MFT on your internal network, you can install Agents on specific servers or workstations within your network, at remote locations, and within cloud infrastructure that will automatically monitor folders, carry out file transfers, and synchronise concurrent workflows at various locations. 1- Agents in the Internal Network. Agents can be installed on servers or workstations in your network for transferring files from and to GoAnywhere and other systems for processing. The agents can perform additional workflows on the system where the agent is deployed such as copying files, running commands, or parsing data. 2- Agents at Remote Locations & "Retail Polling". Agents can be installed at remote locations to automatically monitor folders and transfer files on an automated basis. This "retail polling" feature is ideal for synchronising files between a corporate data centre and remote locations such as stores or branch offices. 3-Agents on Trading Partner Systems. Agents can be installed on servers owned by your trading partners. When a trading partner places a file in a folder which is monitored by the agent, GoAnywhere can automatically pull the file to your organisation's network. In turn, GoAnywhere can use those agent connections to push files to your trading partners. 4-Agents on Cloud Infrastructure. MFT agents can be installed on server instances within cloud infrastructure like Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. These agents could be used to move files securely between the cloud and your internal network. GoAnywhere Gateway  The GoAnywhere Gateway Module is a separate product and must be downloaded on its own. It is normally used if you licensed the server side of the transfer (SFTP, FTPS, Secure Folders, FTP) but it can also be used for outbound connections too. GoAnywhere MFT Gateway is an enhanced reverse proxy that resides out in the DMZ, routing server requests without having any ports open into the network. It can also load balance/cluster the file servers. -GoAnywhere’s MFT Gateway provides an additional layer of security when exchanging data with your trading partners. It allows you to keep file sharing services (e.g. FTP/S, SFTP, HTTP/S servers) and documents safely in your private/internal network. With GoAnywhere’s Secure File Gateway, no inbound ports need to be opened into your private network, which is essential for compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, SOX, GLBA and state privacy laws. -MFT Gateway Features -GoAnywhere’s secure file gateway provides the extra layer of protection for your file sharing services by… -Not allowing incoming ports to be opened into the private network, which reduces the risk of intrusion -Not storing sensitive data files in the DMZ -Keeping user credentials, certificates, and keys safely in the private network -Supporting FTP/S, SFTP, SCP, HTTP/S and AS2 file transfer protocols -Hiding the locations and identities of internal systems -Not requiring any special hardware components; it is a software-only solution. Why use GoAnywhere MFT Gateway as Your Proxy Gateway: 1- Secure Inbound ports to your network: Your file servers (e.g., FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2) can be kept securely in your internal network with GoAnywhere's secure file gateway. This allows you to keep inbound ports to your network closed, which is essential for complying with data security standards. 2- Keep critical data out of the DMZ: Files can be safely shared with trading partners, users, clients, and vendors while avoiding having critical documents or files stored, even temporarily, in your DMZ. 3- Connect with external systems securely: As a forward proxy, Gateway can make connections to external systems on behalf of users and applications in the private network. This allows you to more easily manage file transfers from your firewall. Additionally, the identities and locations of your internal systems are hidden for better security. 4- Run on any environment or operating system: GoAnywhere Gateway is a platform agnostic, software-only secure file gateway solution. Install it on Windows, Linux, AIX, UNIX, or other operating systems to enhance file security in whatever environment works best for you. GoAnywhere Gateway Features At-A-Glance: -No incoming ports need to be opened into the private network -User credentials, permissions, certificates, and keys are kept safe in the private network -Hides the locations and identities of internal systems -Services configurations are maintained/stored in the private network -Supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, HTTP, HTTPS and AS2 file transfer protocols -Built-in load balancer to distribute workloads across multiple systems In essence, when added to GoAnywhere MFT, GoAnywhere Gateway serves as a transparent interface between internal systems and external systems without exposing sensitive files or your private network. CLOUD CONNECTORS The Cloud Connectors Module (which requires Advanced Workflows) enables built-in integrations that seamlessly support the automation of data between web and cloud applications and your GoAnywhere MFT projects and workflows. Cloud Connectors, also known as cloud integrations, are built-in web and cloud application integrations that connect to your GoAnywhere MFT projects and workflows. GoAnywhere Cloud Connectors offer a variety of use-cases and benefits if your organisation connects with external apps. We offer out-of-the-box connectors for popular services including Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Box, and Dropbox.

GoFast GoFast is a file transfer acceleration protocol in GoAnywhere that can transmit data considerably faster than traditional FTP. The high transfer rate in GoFast is achieved by using lightweight UDP (User Datagram Protocol) channels to broadcast data packets between the client and server. UDP is much faster than TCP based protocols like FTP and SFTP since it does not have the inherent time delays for acknowledging and synchronising data packets. UDP has traditionally been used for streaming content that requires high throughput, such as live video and audio. GoFast has also harnessed the efficiency of UDP while providing innovative methods to guarantee the delivery and quality of data transmissions. How GoFast Works Before files are transferred, a secure SSL/TLS control channel is first established over TCP between the GoFast server and client. This control channel can be authenticated with user credentials, as well as X.509 client and server certificates. After authentication, commands are sent over the control channel to indicate details about the transmission such as the file names and sizes, encryption ciphers and compression settings. Files are then broken into multiple parts and transferred over UDP data channels between the GoFast client and server. The part sizes can be adjusted to optimise speeds based on the reliability of the network. The file parts are automatically reassembled on the destination and saved to the designated folder locations. Guaranteed Delivery If any parts of a file do not reach the destination successfully, the sender will be instructed to retransmit those missing parts until the entire file is received. To further guarantee the integrity of the transmission, checksums (hashes) can be calculated on both the GoFast client and server for the files transferred. The files can be automatically resent if the client and server file checksums do not match. Encryption A GoFast session can be configured to use AES encryption for protecting data packets, which is important when sending confidential files over the internet or other unsecured networks. AES is a popular encryption standard and is approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for protecting top secret information. If you are transmitting data over protected networks, you can disable encryption to further optimise transfer speeds. Compression File parts can optionally be compressed with the ZLIB standard to minimise the amount of bandwidth utilised by GoFast transmissions. Nine different compression levels are supported, which can be selected by the administrator at the time of transmission. Additional Features of Accelerated File Transfer: -Schedule GoFast file transfers to run automatically -Send and retrieve multiple files per GoFast session -Auto-retry failed connections with user-specified thresholds -Auto-resume failed transmissions when the server becomes available -Encrypt data packets with AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 bit ciphers -Verify integrity with MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 hash algorithms -Suffix and prefix file names with constants, timestamps or variables -Override file names and other properties at execution time using variables -Auto rename files if they already exist at the destination location -Configure port ranges used by the GoFast server -Send alerts for transfer failures via email, text messages and system messages -Log all GoFast file transfers in a central database for auditing and reporting. GoFast Workflows GoFast server connections can be pre-defined in GoAnywhere MFT's Administrator as reusable Resources which can be selected from simple drop-down menus. GoFast Tasks can be placed within GoAnywhere MFT workflows and executed as part of a cohesive process. For instance, a workflow could be defined to retrieve a video file, encrypt the video, and then quickly send the video to a trading partner using the GoFast accelerated file transfer protocol. PeSIT Client  The PeSIT Client Module helps meet standards and accepts communications from the European banking industry. GoAnywhere’s PeSIT server can be used alongside our PeSIT Client, which allows for communications initiation. The PeSIT client helps guarantee delivery of PeSIT transfers with options to auto-retry connections, auto-resume interrupted file transfers, and perform integrity checks of successful file transfers. PeSIT Features in GoAnywhere MFT: -Full support of the standard PeSIT command set -Send & Receive files -Specify Maximum Data Block Lengths per transfer -SSL Certificate Server Authentication -Suffix and prefix file names with constants, timestamps or variables -Override file names and other properties at execution time using variables -Configurable port ranges -Alerts for transfer failures via email, text messages and system messages.

Inbound and outbound file transfer templates can be applied en-mass or individually with each Web User depending on the use case of the PeSIT partner. PeSIT Logs Audit trails (logs) are generated for all PeSIT transmissions in GoAnywhere MFT to meet auditing and compliance requirements. This detail includes commands issued, messages, IP addresses, server IDs, and file names transferred. Audit logs for the PeSIT service can also be used to troubleshoot failed transfers. Contact Us Content Inspection Modules The following modules provide for content inspection of the traffic that flows through GoAnywhere. Data Loss Prevention Document Sanitisation  strips out hidden, possibly sensitive data from documents such as properties, which can disclose the author and true date; change histories, which can leak sensitive data that authors believe was removed, such as project details, new product names and prices. Data Redaction  overwrites or redacts critical or sensitive information to prevent data breaches. The communication content is modified but is allowed to continue to prevent business process disruption, with sensitive information replaced with a series of Xs. Anti-Steganography  adds to GoAnywhere MFT the capability to prevent files, messages, images, or videos from being concealed within another file. Optical Character Recognition  is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo, or from subtitle text superimposed on an image. Threat Protection Anti-virus  features integrated Sophos and/or Avira anti-virus, with automatic updates every 15 minutes to provide the latest protection. Structural Sanitisation  removes any active content such as scripts, coding, etc. from sent files. Information is, however, left intact in its original file format. We also offer a free FTP Client & Server.

< News Secure Your Email with these 6 Steps 16 Apr 2024 Secure Your Email in 6 Steps Email continues to be the world’s most frequently-used tool for collaboration. In fact, research group Radicati predict 376 billion emails will be sent by 4.5 billion users by the end of next year. Email’s enduring popularity makes it a prime target for cyber criminals. Phishing attacks, spam, and viruses, as well as compromised business emails being used as a gateway to other forms of data loss, can turn email from a collaboration tool into a weapon used against you. Balancing risk vs restraint With so much at stake, IT teams need to carefully balance the minimisation of email risks against the potential for placing draconian restraints on their organisation’s ability to efficiently conduct business. Secure Email Gateways –– such as the Clearswift Secure Email Gateway –– help organisations achieve the right balance for them, enforcing protective email policies without overburdening IT departments, email administrators and messaging teams. Handle with Care Email attachments continue to be a particular risk, and so, managing their transmission warrants particular care. A secure alternative to emailing files, such as the Secure Mail module in GoAnywhere MFT, enables employees to easily send files to other individuals via a secure link with a specific expiry date. Because it is much more secure than traditional email, Secure Mail doesn’t limit the size or types of files being transmitted –– a drawback of many email clients such as Outlook and Gmail. 6 Steps to Secure Email From our many years of helping organisations protect their valuable data, we recommend IT teams define robust email security policies and determine what’s required from their email security defence, by following these six easy steps: 1. Define which data needs to be protected 2. Be clear about the dangers 3. Establish a robust and sustainable email security policy 4. Close the zero-day window 5. Encrypt sensitive data 6. Monitor behaviour and performance --- If you’d like to discuss how your organisation’s email can be made more secure –– without impeding your team’s efficiency ––p lease feel free to contact me , Bradley Copson (mail to: bradley@gensys.com.au ). I’m always happy to have an obligation-free discussion, explain how we can transition you from your existing approaches hassle-free, and offer you a zero-cost Proof of Concept.

< 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 .

< News $21T at stake as Medibank pursued over cyber breaches 6 June 2024 Australia’s privacy watchdog has announced it will take legal action against Medibank Private for allegedly failing to protect the medical details of 9.7 million Australians. Russian cybercriminals hacked and then sold the deeply personal medical details of some Australians in 2022. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner alleges Medibank “failed to take reasonable steps to protect personal information it held given its size, resources, the nature and volume of the sensitive and personal information it handled, and the risk of serious harm for an individual in the case of a breach.” Contraventions of section 13G of the Privacy Act for each of Medibank’s 9.7 million customers could attract a maximum civil penalty of up to $2,220,000 each – that’s $21 trillion in total. Medibank has said it will defend the proceedings. The potential size of the claim shows the watchdog’s intention to warn other companies about their responsibility to protect citizens’ data they collect. “Organisations that collect, use and store personal information have a considerable responsibility to ensure that data is held safely and securely. That is particularly the case when it comes to sensitive data,” Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind said. “This case should serve as a wake-up call to Australian organisations to invest in their digital defences to meet the challenges of an evolving cyber landscape. Organisations have an ethical as well as legal duty to protect the personal information they are entrusted with and a responsibility to keep it safe.” If you’d rather prevent cybertheft than defend it in court, consider how a Managed File Transfer solution can help protect your data in transit, at rest, and in the cloud. Our free resources are a good starting point, and our Business Manager Bradley Copson is always happy to have an obligation-free discussion and provide a free Proof of Concept. Previous Next
