  • MFT as Middleware…?! | GSA

    < News MFT as Middleware…?! 5 Feb 2025 Enterprise customers are increasingly seeking middleware that enables them to secure and streamline connections between their internal systems and external third-party services. Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT helps fulfil that need. Integration without Security spells danger Most modern enterprises find themselves balancing the flow of information between complex internal systems and external cloud services. But on both sides of the corporate firewall, there is a shared need for corporate data to be transferred securely and efficiently. “Extract Transfer Load” (ETL) solutions process data and store data in a common internal warehouse. “Enterprise Service Buses” (ESBs) act as a hub providing overall visibility and control over the flow of data and services across different applications. However, neither of these tools specialise in security - an especially critical consideration when dealing with third parties. As security and integration are where current solutions fall flat or fail to provide a unified answer, enterprises are left to look for new models to bridge the gap. GoAnywhere steps up Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT is not your traditional limited MFT solution. It operates as a lightweight ETL, a functional ESB, and as an efficient MFT platform. What sets GoAnywhere apart from other tools is its focus on security. And in that way, it’s one of the only tools on the market today that can fulfil enterprises’ nascent need for secure and efficient data flows within and outside their organisations. Secure Management, Integration, Automation GoAnywhere provides many of the same automation and integration features as ETL, ESB, and Enterprise Application Integration solutions, enabling enterprises to connect their internal resources with cloud resources and third parties such as: Banks and credit card providers Financial data providers Foreign exchange markets Retirement and pension systems If required, GoAnywhere MFT can perform a middleware role, integrating with an organisation’s existing ETL solution and acting as a managing solution which connects systems, secures communications and integrates. Enterprise-level Security Even when enterprises have dedicated ETL solutions in place, GoAnywhere can fit right in to boost the security of data file transfers. It provides a full range of security layers and controls to protect the exchanged data which no other integration solution can offer. A secure architecture is deployed thanks to a multi-tier solution, including the GoAnywhere Gateway as a reverse proxy on the DMZ, isolating exchanged data from threats on the internet. A Secure ICAP Gateway - a deep content inspection engine – can also be built in, a security tier preventing malicious content infiltrating through third-party interfaces. GoAnywhere’s proactive security has been further enhanced through integration with the Fortra Threat Brain , a massive threat intelligence database which continuously identifies and blocks incoming IPs with bad reputations or malicious intent befor e those threats can enter an organisation. Connect Cloud and On-Prem Applications A final differentiator that makes GoAnywhere a standout in the enterprise middleware space is its ability to connect both on-premises systems and cloud-based applications. GoAnywhere goes beyond what a typical SaaS middleware application can do. For instance, if you offer a middleware platform as a SaaS solution, a lot of organisations still have different on-prem applications in addition to their legacy systems, segmented networks, private and public cloud-based systems and external interfaces with their trading partners. Having yet another SaaS platform makes it challenging to interconnect all these on-prem and cloud data points. However, GoAnywhere can secure file transfers and centralise them across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, or SaaS environments. It isn’t confined to one or the other. Consolidate, downshift, simplify, and streamline For enterprises looking to boost their efficiency and streamline their operations (and that’s all enterprises!) the right middleware can make all the difference. GoAnywhere MT offers more than a typical MFT. With GoAnywhere, enterprises can create a flexible, scalable, high-performance middleware platform to securely: transfer at speeds up to 10 Gbps interface with a wide variety of systems, applications and cloud services protect files from malware get zero trust protection, no matter where files travel, and keep data out of the DMZ. GoAnywhere as Middleware Consistently declared to be the world’s leading MFT , GoAnywhere is renowned for its robust security features, flexibility, and ability to work where and how you need it. For enterprises, that’s becoming the space between all the moving parts.

  • Why It’s Worth Migrating to a Better MFT | GSA

    < News Why It’s Worth Migrating to a Better MFT 9 Dec 2025 Is your existing Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution failing to keep pace with modern security, efficiency and budgetary needs? Companies whose existing MFT solution no longer meets modern security, compliance, or usability needs should consider trading up to the world’s leading MFT solution, GoAnywhere MFT . GoAnywhere MFT makes migration straightforward with dedicated tools and services. The Case to Replace Organisations rely on Managed File Transfer to securely exchange sensitive data with partners, customers, and internal systems. However, some legacy solutions struggle to keep pace with today’s demands. Common reasons for replacement include: Volume Pricing Gotchas: some MFTs lure customers with seemingly low initial prices, only to rapidly increase costs as the number of users, or the amount and size of transfers, increase. Budgeting becomes difficult as their MFT licence grows ever more costly. Security Gaps: Some MFT tools lack advanced encryption, secure protocols, or modern authentication methods, leaving organisations exposed to cyber threats. New Compliance Requirements: Increasing government and industry regulation requires auditable, automated file transfer processes. Some MFT systems fall short in providing detailed logging and compliance reporting. Inefficiencies: Maintaining outdated solutions can be costly, requiring manual scripting and complex workarounds. This slows down IT teams and increases the risk of human error. Inadequate Scalability: As businesses grow, file transfer volumes increase. Legacy solutions may not scale effectively, leading to bottlenecks and downtime. Poor User Experience: Modern enterprises expect intuitive interfaces and automation. If the current solution is cumbersome, adoption and productivity suffer. Why GoAnywhere MFT? GoAnywhere MFT is a secure, automated, and user-friendly platform designed to address the deficiencies of competitor MFTs. It offers: Transparent pricing with no surprises as user volumes increase. The licencing model is Server/Node based and has been since the solution’s inception. Centralised management of all file transfers, reducing complexity. Automation features like scheduling, alerting, and workflows to eliminate manual intervention. High availability and scalability , ensuring reliable performance even under heavy loads.

  • Build Better Solutions by Incorporating MFT | GSA

    < News Build Better Solutions by Incorporating MFT 22 July 2025 Solutions Architects play the critical role of translating complex business requirements into scalable, maintainable technology solutions. Their holistic view of their organisation’s information systems ensures that individual components — from databases and integration layers to user interfaces — work together seamlessly. However, amid the complex considerations for developing sophisticated new software solutions, it can be easy to overlook simple opportunities to also improve an organisation’s fundamental IT processes. For example: file exchange. Any solution which still relies on insecure scripts, ad-hoc FTP servers or email attachments is inherently less efficient and more risky than a solution which leverages Managed File Transfer (MFT) technology. Outdated file transfer approaches expose an organisation to data breaches, compliance violations, and painful troubleshooting cycles. A minimal incremental investment in MFT could transform those weak links into a strategic asset, delivering automated, auditable, and secure data flows that align perfectly with modern architecture patterns. Hidden Risks of Traditional File Transfer Legacy file-sharing methods carry hidden dangers: Unencrypted channels leave sensitive data exposed. Manual processes introduce human error and delays. Absence of centralised visibility hinders troubleshooting and governance. Ignoring these pitfalls increases operational overhead and jeopardises client trust. As a Solutions Architect, you hold the blueprint for resilient systems. And when it comes to security and reliability, file transfer can’t be an afterthought. Why MFT Deserves a Place in Your Architecture Integrating MFT early in your design delivers: Enhanced Security: End-to-end encryption, role-based access, and non-repudiation. Regulatory Compliance: Built-in audit trails, detailed reporting, and retention policies. Automated Workflows: Trigger-based transfers, retries, and notifications eliminate manual handoffs. Centralised Visibility: Dashboards and logs surface issues before they escalate. Seamless Scaling: Cloud or on-prem deployment adapts to seasonal or unpredictable load. By codifying file transfers as robust services, you unlock consistent performance and reduce risk across every project. Tips for Practical Integration Enhancing your solution with MFT is relatively straightforward. Define Requirements: Catalogue data types, transfer volumes, and compliance mandates. Evaluate Vendors: Compare security features, deployment models, and API support. Run a Pilot: Validate connectivity, throughput, and automation capabilities with sample workflows. Embed in CI/CD: Treat transfer jobs like code—version, test, and deploy with your pipeline. Train Stakeholders: Empower developers and operators with clear documentation and dashboards. Essential With hacking and data theft rampant across the globe, MFT is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s essential infrastructure. Weaving MFT into your solution blueprints elevates security, streamlines operations, and future-proofs data exchange. By baking MFT into your next project, your organisation’s architecture — and stakeholders — will thank you. Expert Local Help There’s no need to go it alone – or rely on overseas resources - when building MFT into your local solution. At Generic Systems Australia , we have many years of practical experience helping Australian and New Zealand IT teams simply and easily integrate MFT with their many and varied solutions.

  • Moving on from MOVEit | GSA

    < News Moving on from MOVEit 20 Oct 2023 Your Choice of MFT Matters Many organisations across the Asia-Pacific region are replacing their outdated MOVEit-based Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems with Forta’s advanced GoAnywhere suite . In this article, I’ll explain why. There are plenty of options when it comes to selecting a file transfer solution… from free, unsecure methods to the fully-featured marketplace leader. But as cybercrime has continued to surge, companies have increasingly realised how essential it’s become to secure their data transfers, maintaining a ‘circle of trust’ with their customers and supply chains. Additionally, companies have been searching for ways to boost their bottom lines through greater efficiency. The true cost – in terms of lost productivity - of outdated manual file transfer approaches has come into sharper focus. Business leaders are realising that their MFT solutions, which may have once met historic needs, are no longer enough . Superior Security Recent cybersecurity incursions make “Robust Security” top of mind for those seeking a better MFT solution. GoAnywhere MFT takes all aspects of data security seriously, protecting your sensitive data both “in motion” and “at rest”. Maintaining GoAnywhere’s security and compliance product leadership is a primary focus for its development team, who stay across the latest security standards to ensure up-to-date compliance with regulations, frameworks, and standards. Beyond Windows Organisations managing multiple operating systems soon encounter the constraints of MOVEit’s Windows-only solution. GoAnywhere flexibly supports any protocol, any platform, and any deployment, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, Linux, and more. The Need for Speed Included in GoAnywhere is GoFast, a file transfer acceleration protocol which can transmit data considerably faster than traditional FTP. The patented technology in GoFast takes the best of UDP’s speed and adds reliability and rate control, providing GoAnywhere with speed MOVEit can’t match. Drag & Drop Workflows Scripting – as required by MOVEit for some tasks - is clunky, time consuming and confusing for non-expert users. Through its breadth of Automated Workflows capabilities, GoAnywhere enables end users to quickly and easily build workflows. Manual and automated tasks can even be combined into one master workflow. Further, GoAnywhere provides easy reporting on partner Service Level Agreements, alerting you to any workflow issues before your trading partners do. Easy Centralised Control MOVEit requires you to install two products (MOVEit Automation and MOVEit Transfer) to enable full MFT functionality. Most users prefer GoAnywhere’s centralised, browser-based dashboard - an intuitive “one stop shop” for managing file transfers. Advanced Auditability GoAnywhere not only moves and shares data securely, it also provides full auditability of transfers. Logging full audit trails of all user events and file activity, it can also generate reports of file transfer activity, user statistics, and completed jobs – all from within its central management console. And.. Beyond the advantages above, former MOVEit users are often delighted to discover GoAnywhere’s advanced capabilities in: High availability and clustering, providing true active-active support and load balancing to distribute workloads across multiple systems; Remote agents - lightweight applications managed through the GoAnywhere interface which enable configuring and scheduling of file transfers throughout an enterprise; and Secure Forms - customised forms or files that which contain data other tasks can automatically process. Want to see a Better MFT in Action?

  • Ditch Your File Transfer Scripts | GSA

    < News Ditch Your File Transfer Scripts 10 Sept 2024 More and more companies across the Asia-Pacific region are realising they have a pressing need to eliminate their use of outdated file transfer scripts. A Key Vulnerability A recent survey found that our region is on the frontline, subject to more cyber attacks than any other. 72% of local organisations experienced four or more cybersecurity incidents in the past year - 20% more than the global average. Manual scripts – often written by employees to reduce the repetitive burden of manually transferring files – are a key vulnerability. Not only are file transfer scripts risky, they’re also inefficient and prone to failure. MFT: safer, more efficient Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a powerful technology which comprehensively addresses the risks and challenges of moving information, both within an organisation, and with external suppliers, partners and customers. It simplifies and secures data transfer by providing centralised control, encryption, enhanced security protocols and auditing. Unsurprising then that more and more IT departments are using MFT to replace their outdated manual file transfer scripts. Reasons to Ditch Scripts Scripts don’t play well with new tech. For example, cloud-based computing environments require file transfers to be integrated with cloud-based solutions, and platforms such as Azure and AWS. Scripts lack advanced features. For example, automating file transfers – say, with FTP - requires you to add a second solution, which is time-consuming and complex. Scripts are also challenged to detect and implement automatic “re-try” features in the event of failure, or prevent employees mishandling sensitive data. Scripts are time consuming. Developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting scripts takes time, distracting valuable IT staff from more important tasks. Worse, if the author of a script isn’t available when it fails, bottlenecks can occur in your workflow. Scripts don’t offer built-in reporting. Logging needs to be manually added to scripts. Accessing those logs – say, when you need to prove audit compliance, or meet other regulatory reporting requirements – is time consuming and difficult, requiring an effective filter and search tools. Scripts aren’t secure. As explained above, scripts don’t offer the security features necessary to keep cyber thieves at bay. User credentials aren’t encrypted, there’s no in-built key management, no access controls, and they’re unlikely to use up-to-date security protocols. Why MFT is Better than Scripts As well as increasing the security of your file transfers, ditching scripts offers your organisation many other compelling advantages. Centralised Control. Instead of using multiple different tools, programs, and scripts to encrypt, send, and automate your file transfers, MFT can enable 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, the best MFTs enable your team to spend time focusing on other things. Save Money. Clients are often surprised how many employee-hours they’re spending creating, maintaining and resolving problems with file transfer scripts. These ongoing hidden costs can really mount up. (And that’s without considering the potentially catastrophic cost to your business of a data breach enabled by an insecure script!) Flexible Scalability. The best MFTs scale fluidly – horizontally and vertically - as file transfer loads increase. They make redundant tedious and uncertain processes of buying, deploying and understanding gateways, load balancers and other expensive network devices and hardware. Cloud-friendly MFT tools also exploit new cloud and virtualisation capabilities to scale up quickly to meet demand. They can even be “failed over” to a DR site in the event of an outage. Regulatory Compliance. By logging file transfers and access across your organisation, the best MFTs ensure your compliance with legal requirements, such as data privacy and encryption. Logs are also readily accessible if you’re called on to demonstrate your compliance during an audit or need to conduct forensics after an internal security breach. The Best MFT Independent analysts agree that that GoAnywhere MFT is the industry’s leading Managed File Transfer solution. GoAnywhere not only enables your data to be moved securely - both internally and externally – it also enhances your team’s productivity. Asia-Pacific’s MFT Experts No-one better understands local MFT needs and best practices than Generic Systems Australia. Our local team has decades of experience helping businesses replace outdated and risky scripts with the world’s leading MFT solution, and our Migration Service makes the transition easy. If you’d like a no-cost, no-obligation discussion about how we could help you simply and affordably transition from risky scripts to an advanced MFT solution, please feel welcome to get in touch .

  • Small-to-Medium Businesses the Big Targets for Cybercrime | GSA

    < 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.

  • Secure Your Email with these 6 Steps | GSA

    < 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 ).

  • GoAnywhere: the Swiss Army Knife of Systems Connectivity | GSA

    < News GoAnywhere: the Swiss Army Knife of Systems Connectivity 29 July 2025 When all the buzzwords are said and done, the single biggest advantage of using information technology is enhanced efficiency through automation and connectivity . It’s in precisely these areas where GoAnywhere MFT shines. While GoAnywhere is a Managed File Transfer solution, its usefulness is far broader. It’s a “Swiss Army Knife” for automatically moving files between an organisation’s systems, suppliers and customers. Whether you’re moving data between your ERP , CRM , HRM , SCM , CMS , BI , BPM and ITSM systems, GoAnywhere helps you seamlessly interconnect their outputs and inputs, amplifying IT’s overall speed and efficiency benefits across your business. GoAnywhere not only monitors your various solutions for new output, it also translates that output into the new formats required by your other systems before routing the translated files to their destinations. Automatically. Comprehensive Extract Transfer Load features enable data values to be mapped, formatted and modified between source and target files. Automating with MFT Automation is where GoAnywhere really shines vs less capable Managed File Transfer solutions. It manages recurring and high-volume file transfers and eliminates the need for manual data processing. Surprisingly, there are still some organisations which continue to be dependent on tedious manual file transfer processes, complicated system configurations and manual batches. The reason they remain reliant on such risky approaches is often lost to the past - there’s simply no-one left on staff who was around at the time their systems were initially installed. “However it works … it does work” seems to be the thinking. “If it ain’t broke … don’t fix it” can be seductive when there’s lots else demanding your attention. However, failing to understand file transfer dependencies, and disregarding the need to make them resilient, is a dangerous way to run a business. Small changes in file formats and security protocols, or the unforeseen consequences of a software version update, can cause havoc. Background legacy scripts, homegrown processes, and outdated PC tools are prone to fail for the simplest of reasons. That means systems downtime, lost revenue, distrustful suppliers and unhappy customers. Minor Investment, Major Gain Making the relatively minor investment of time and expense to automate file transfers simplifies and streamlines critical everyday tasks, eliminates human error, saves time and cuts costs. GoAnywhere is more than just a file moving tool. It can monitor folders both on-premises or in the cloud, send you emails and SMS alerts when triggered events occur, and test and debug your automatic file transfer workflows. And, should you ever need to trace the movement of your data – say, for auditing or compliances purposes - GoAnywhere’s comprehensive logging tools and centralised dashboard make this easy. How It Works With GoAnywhere installed, a simple drag-and-drop interface defines how files will be securely and reliably moved between internal systems, supply chain partners and customers. It’s much easier than writing manual scripts, and no programming skills are required. GoAnywhere’s automation enables systems to execute each step of a business process one after the next without human intervention. File movements are monitored and controlled, including sending, retrieving and delivering data. You can schedule when files should be sent or retrieved between systems, users, trading partners, applications, and the cloud. Your business processes are made significantly more efficient. Here to Help At Generic Systems Australia , we’re Australia and New Zealand’s experts in helping business take advantage of every one of GoAnywhere’s many capabilities. We’ve assisted dozens of organisations to make their file transfers resilient, secure and reliable, boosting their efficiency.
