< News Balancing Cyber Security with Frictionless Customer Experience 17 June 2025 Cyber thieves are stealing more from businesses than “just” data and money. They’re stealing customer trust. Research shows that customers are increasingly worried about how well companies are protecting their data. And those worries are hurting companies’ bottom lines. Fears Realised Nearly 2 in 5 customers have been the victim of two or more data breaches, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. A third of the victims of identity theft have experienced it within the past three years. Stuart Vaeth, SVP of strategic business development at Trua, said cyber theft incidents weaken customer trust and brand reputation. “The result can be lost business. It absolutely impacts the reputation of the service provider,” he said. “Obviously, it erodes trust. People may not come back to your site if your data has been breached.” Research by S&P Global Market Intelligence shows that more than three-quarters of customers are concerned about the risk of trying digital experiences or products that require sharing personal data online. This is a serious challenge for businesses who recognise that customer data is essential to providing personalised purchasing experiences. Cyber Security Integral to Customer Experience The safety of customer data is as much a customer experience issue as it is a cyber security one. Sheryl Kingstone, research director of customer experience and commerce at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said that a mistake many businesses make is to look at their customer data “in a silo”. “When we do take a look at things like what CISOs want or what privacy experts want versus what marketing and customer experience teams want, it becomes very complicated, because we need to mind the gaps,” Kingstone said. “There are trade-offs between compliance and the customer experience.” “Security compliance teams look at ensuring risk and compliance. CX leaders want to reduce customer friction points,” she said. Businesses need to balance customer experience with risk and compliance. Vaeth said that, while CX leaders generally aim for zero friction to prevent drop off, some friction can be beneficial. Collecting customer data directly or asking customers for verification can provide reassurance and need not impact drop off rates. Earning Customer Trust One way to earn customer trust and assure customers you take data protection seriously is to show them your credentials. For example, you can display them on your website and in marketing materials. Another way to demonstrate your “cybertrustworthiness” is to let your customers know when you’re investing in new technologies, improving processes and gaining certifications. It demonstrates you’re on a path of continual improvement that can differentiate you from your competitors. Protecting Customer Data Stepping up to the needs of customer data guardianship requires both technology solutions and sound business practices. Layered defences, with integrated solutions that address encryption, threat protection, and data loss prevention, enable safe collaboration without risking malware, mishandled data, breaches and non-compliance. Given most breaches involve a human element, technology solutions need to be automated and easy for employees to use. Software needs to be able to manage: How access to data is granted; How access is authenticated; How access is tracked and controlled; and How access can be speedily revoked, when needed. Layered Protection A standalone managed file transfer (MFT) solution – such as GoAnywhere MFT - is a great first layer of defence. It provides security for files at rest and in-transit. However, integrating Threat Protection as an additional layer enables you to take appropriate action when there’s customer data moving in and out of your organisation. Based on rules you predefine, Generic Systems Australia’s Advanced Threat Protection Bundle can mask, remove, or permit customer data to be moved within your organisation and beyond, via a Secure ICAP Gateway. On Hand to Help At Generic Systems Australia we’re the Asia-Pacific region’s experts in deploying Managed File Transfer and Advanced Threat Protection.

< News How to Boost Your Business with Advanced Workflows 18 Nov 2025 In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses rely heavily on secure, efficient file transfers to keep operations running smoothly. Yet many organisations continue to rely on outdated manual processes which are fragile, opaque, and prone to failure. You can avoid these downsides by automating your data workflows with an advanced Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution. The Problem with Legacy File Transfers Many companies still use legacy scripts or batch files created years ago by employees who have long since left. These scripts often run on personal devices or rely on manual execution, leaving businesses vulnerable when something goes wrong. Whether it’s a missed transfer due to someone being out sick or a failure that only becomes apparent when a customer complains, these systems are reactive rather than proactive. Even more sophisticated setups using schedulers like Control-M or Cron jobs still lack visibility and error handling. When a transfer fails, the first alert might come from a frustrated boss or a 2:30 a.m. page from IT support. This reactive model wastes time and erodes trust. Enter Advanced Workflows Advanced Workflows offer a smarter, more resilient approach. With platforms like GoAnywhere , the world’s most advanced MFT solution, users can build automated file transfer processes without needing deep programming skills. The interface enables you to drag and drop tasks into a project outline, define parameters, and schedule execution—all with built-in error handling and notifications. You can automate everything from pulling data from a database to encrypting it with PGP and securely transferring it via SFTP. If something goes wrong—perhaps due to a network issue, or a problem with an external service provider—the system can alert you immediately and attach detailed logs to help you pinpoint and troubleshoot issues before anyone else even notices. Key Features of Advanced Workflow Automation Component Library: GoAnywhere includes more than 150 pre-built tasks, including FTP, encryption, data translation, and cloud integration. You can connect to services like Salesforce, Jira, and ServiceNow with ease. Project Outline: Define the sequence of tasks—read from a database, write to a CSV, encrypt the file, and transfer it. Each step is configurable via dropdowns or parameters. Scheduling and Triggers: Schedule workflows to run at specific times or trigger them based on events like a successful file upload. You can even create holiday calendars to avoid running jobs on non-business days. Monitoring: Watch folders locally or remotely for new files, deletions, or changes. When an event occurs, automatically launch the appropriate workflow. Error Handling and Notifications: If a task fails, send an email with the job log attached. If successful, archive the output and notify stakeholders. A Real-World Example Imagine you need to send HR data to your HR services provider daily. With GoAnywhere’s simple drag-and-drop interface, you can automatically arrange the necessary tasks and schedule them to trigger automatically. Connect to your database and extract employee records. Write the data to a uniquely named CSV file. Encrypt the file using the recipient’s public PGP key. Transfer the file via SFTP. Send a confirmation email with logs and file attachments. No programming experience needed. Why You Need Advanced Workflows Advanced Workflows don’t just save time—they reduce risk, improve compliance, and enhance visibility. You’ll know when transfers succeed or fail, and you’ll have the tools to respond proactively. Plus, by centralising and automating these processes, you free up your team to focus on strategic tasks rather than firefighting. In short, if your business depends on file transfers, it’s time to stop the insanity of manual scripts and embrace the power of automation. Advanced Workflows are the key to boosting productivity, ensuring security, and staying ahead in a competitive landscape.

< News New “Threat Brain” keeps Cyber Security Briefed and Vigilant 10 June 2025 What if your enterprise IT systems were constantly informed of the latest emerging cyber threats, so they could proactively protect your precious data from cyber thieves? That’s what Fortra’s new Threat Brain does for GoAnywhere , the world’s leading Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution. Threat Brain provides a unique threat intelligence advantage over other MFT solutions. It aggregates indicators from a deep portfolio of cybersecurity solutions to continuously identify and block IPs with bad reputation or malicious intent before those threats enter your organisation. Other MFTs can only react to cyber threats. GoAnywhere proactively avoids them. Threat Intelligence With access to data from Fortra’s deep portfolio of cybersecurity products and vast customer network, Threat Brain continually aggregates, in real-time, risk information across all attack vectors so that GoAnywhere MFT. Generic Systems Australia is a long-term distributor of GoAnywhere across the Asia-Pacific region. Threat Brain’s enhancements to GoAnywhere enable our customers to benefit from: · Consistent re-verification : With lesser MFTs, once an IP address has been allowed, there’s no ongoing monitoring. With GoAnywhere however, IP reputations are checked with every new session to ensure they remain safe. GoAnywhere is the only solution in the marketplace that makes this proactive and consistent security feature available to all customers within the solution. · Massive threat intelligence database : Threat Brain continually aggregates threat intelligence from Fortra’s broad cybersecurity portfolio and its vast, worldwide (anonymised) customer database. No other MFT vendor offers such integrated cybersecurity tools capable of tapping into this collected threat data. · Layered protection : Fortra’s deep portfolio of cybersecurity intelligence and protection adds an additional layer of protection to customers’ sensitive data. Combined with Advanced Threat Protection , GoAnywhere sets the bar for protecting sensitive data in motion and at rest. Proactive Security GoAnywhere taps Threat Brain to perform on-demand IP reputation checks for incoming HTTP/S connections, AS2, and AS4 protocols. These checks are executed on the GoAnywhere Web Client and via API and API endpoints. GoAnywhere automatically blocks IPs with low reputation scores. This IP blocking can be fine-tuned through adjustable sensitivity settings, while provisioning allows for exceptions in case of false positives. When an IP address has been blocked due to low reputation, a system administrator can add an exception to permit the IP address to be accessed. Whenever GoAnywhere takes action to protect your systems and data, it’s recorded in an audit log detailing what was blocked and the reason it intervened. Stay in the Know When it comes to cyber security, it’s critical to be proactive vs reactive. While Brute Force or Denial-of-Service attacks may be detected automatically by traditional MFTs, this happens only after the system has been attacked. Local Expertise at the Ready If you’d like help tapping GoAnywhere’s proactive capabilities for your organisation, please feel welcome to contact me . I have decades of experience as a long term distributor of GoAnywhere in Australia and New Zealand, and I’m always happy to have an obligation-free discussion and demonstrate its impressive capabilities.

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