  • Don’t Let Your Data Be Lost in Cyber Space | GSA

    < News Don’t Let Your Data Be Lost in Cyber Space 2 Sept 2025 In this digital age, our businesses depend on the seamless movement of files to operate efficiently. From financial reports and customer data to product designs and legal documents, files are the lifeblood of a modern organisation. However, despite sophisticated networks and cloud-based tools, files still vanish into cyberspace, leading to business disruption, unhappy customers and confused suppliers. The reasons files go missing are often quite mundane. Perhaps they were intercepted, having been sent via unsecured email. Perhaps their transfer failed silently and unknown, due to a network glitch. Maybe an employee uploaded the document to the wrong folder, or worse, to the wrong server. Legacy systems, manual processes, and ad hoc workarounds compound the problem. Without proper oversight, files can be lost, duplicated, corrupted, or exposed—leading to compliance violations, reputational damage, and costly delays. Avoid Data Danger, Will Robinson! This is where Managed File Transfer (MFT) technology steps in—not as a patchwork fix, but as a strategic upgrade. MFT provides a secure, automated framework for transferring files across internal systems, external partners, and cloud environments. It replaces risky methods like FTP, email attachments, and consumer-grade sharing apps with encrypted, policy-driven workflows. Security and Reliability MFT platforms use robust encryption protocols (like SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS) to protect data in transit. Authentication mechanisms ensure only authorised users can initiate or receive transfers. Files are tracked from origin to destination, with detailed logs and alerts for failures or anomalies. This means no more blind spots—every movement is visible, verifiable, and recoverable. Compliance and Control For industries bound by regulations (finance, healthcare, government), MFT offers built-in compliance features. Audit trails, role-based access, and data retention policies help meet demanding standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Administrators can monitor activity in real time, enforce file naming conventions, and prevent unauthorised access or data leakage. Automation and Integration Beyond security, MFT streamlines operations. It integrates with ERP systems, cloud storage, and APIs to automate recurring transfers—like nightly batch jobs or supplier updates. This reduces human error and frees up IT teams to focus on higher-value tasks. Some platforms even support conditional logic, retry mechanisms, and load balancing to ensure mission-critical transfers never fail silently. Scalability and Visibility As organisations grow, so does the complexity of their data flows. MFT scales effortlessly, handling thousands of transfers per day across geographies and departments. Dashboards provide a centralised view of all activity, making it easy to spot bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues, and optimise performance. In short, Managed File Transfer transforms chaotic, error-prone file sharing into a disciplined, auditable process. It’s not just a tool—it’s a safeguard against digital entropy. For organisations juggling sensitive data across borders and platforms, MFT ensures that files don’t just travel—they arrive, intact and accounted for. From “Lost in Space” to “Found, Locally” At Generic Systems Australia we’re Australia’s and NZ’s experts in deploying Managed File Transfer solutions. We’ve assisted businesses of all sizes to protect their customer data and secure their file transfers, while keeping their operations running smoothly.

  • MFT: Not Just Your First Line of Cyber Defence | GSA

    < News MFT: Not Just Your First Line of Cyber Defence 16 Sept 2025 Every organisation serious about protecting its data will likely come to view a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution as one of their first lines of defence. Employing MFT as the standard when exchanging data puts organisations light years ahead of businesses still relying on risky File Transfer Protocol and email to transfer files. MFT platforms not only centralise – and therefore, control - data transfer, they also enable companies to apply comprehensive policies which protect data. Data can be insulated from threats as diverse as inbound malware to careless employees entrusting files to external platforms beyond an organisation’s direct control, such as Google Drive and Dropbox. Critical protection policies, such as those encompassing encryption, monitoring, and auditing capability, can be enforced. High Volume = High Exposure In 2024, businesses were responsible for generating around 30% of the world’s data—an astonishing ~44.1 zettabytes. That included data such as transaction records, CRM logs, ERP systems, IoT sensor data from manufacturing and logistics, internal communications, analytics, and cloud backups, AI training datasets and other enterprise software usage. But as the volume of data used and consumed by businesses grows, so too does the cost and impact of potentially losing that data. The high ransoms now regularly being paid to cyberthieves amply demonstrate just how valuable business data has become. Surely it makes more sense to invest in a relatively inexpensive protective technology like MFT, than to lose equivalent funding — or greater — in the form of ransoms paid to cyber thieves? Lessons from Bankers Banks, traditional repositories of valuables from cash, precious metals and sensitive documents, have learned a lot over the years about protecting assets. And their learnings are relevant to how we should be protecting our valuable data. Banks no longer store our valuables in a single bank vault. Nor for that matter do they store our digital currency on a single server. Rather, banks protect our precious assets — physical and digital — behind layers of security. Physical valuables sit behind physical barriers, multiple locks, access control systems, remote monitoring and security guards. Digital valuables are protected against threats such as malware, ransomware, accidental data loss, third-party exposure, and zero-day attacks by a broad array of technologies. Sitting beneath those technologies, ensuring they’re enforced and providing a sound bedrock of centralised control, surveillance and auditing, is MFT. Adding Layered Defence At Generic Systems Australia we’re adept at installing and maintaining the world’s leading MFT, GoAnywhere . And our Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) bundle significantly enhances GoAnywhere’s data protection capabilities by introducing a proactive, multilayered defence against both external threats and internal data leakage. While GoAnywhere already provides secure encryption, access controls, and audit trails for file transfers, the ATP bundle adds dynamic inspection and sanitisation that targets the content itself—not just the container. At the heart of this integration is the Clearswift Secure ICAP Gateway, which enables deep content inspection and adaptive Data Loss Prevention (DLP). This means every file transferred through GoAnywhere can be scanned for malware, embedded scripts, macros, and other active content that could compromise systems. Unlike traditional antivirus tools, ATP sanitises files in real time—removing only the malicious elements while allowing legitimate content to pass through uninterrupted. Limiting Exposure Beyond malware, the ATP Bundle also addresses sensitive data exposure. It can detect and block files containing personally identifiable information (PII), financial records, or confidential metadata before they’re shared externally. Policies can be set to redact sensitive text, strip geotags and even apply optical character recognition (OCR) to scanned documents to catch hidden data. This empowers organisations to enforce granular control over who can transmit sensitive content and under what conditions—adding a layer of governance that encryption alone cannot provide. In essence, the ATP Bundle transforms GoAnywhere from a secure conduit into an intelligent gatekeeper. It doesn’t just move data safely—it understands what’s inside, evaluates its risk, and ensures that only clean, compliant content reaches its destination. Modular Enhancements Augmenting GoAnywhere’s capabilities are Modules which can further protect an organisation from the inherent risks of legacy protocols such as SFTP/FTPS, email attachments and manual processes. SFTP Server can be upgraded to by GoAnywhere SFTP Server Module, enabling SSH-encrypted transfer with centralised access control, audit logging and integration with Active Directory. FTPS Server can be upgraded to FT Module, offering SSL/TLS encryption, customisable access, and DMZ-safe deployment via GoAnywhere Gateway. HTTPS Web Uploads can be replaced by the Secure Folders Module to create browser-based file access with HTTPS encryption and user authentication. AS2/AS4/PeSIT can be replaced by Certified Protocol Modules, providing Retail and banking-grade secure exchange with Drummond certification. These modules consolidate disparate protocols into a single, scalable platform—reducing complexity, improving visibility, and enforcing consistent security policies across all transfers. Making Email Secure Email is ubiquitous. However, it's also one of the least secure ways to transmit sensitive data. Fortra’s Secure Mail module in GoAnywhere transforms ad-hoc file sharing into a secure, trackable process without disrupting user workflows. Using Secure Mail, Users send files as secure encrypted packages via their browser or an Outlook plugin. Recipients receive a unique link to download via HTTPS — no files are sent directly via email. Senders can set expiration dates, download limits, and password protection, and all activity is logged for auditability and compliance. Secure Mail keeps files on your infrastructure until accessed, eliminating third-party hosting risks and ensuring full control over sensitive data. Strategic Defence By replacing legacy protocols and insecure email practices with GoAnywhere’s modular architecture, organisations gain: • Unified governance over all file transfers; • Reduced attack surface via DMZ-safe deployment; • Improved compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS; and • Streamlined user experience without sacrificing security. Here to Help At Generic Systems Australia we have decades of experience helping Australian and New Zealand organisations protect themselves against malware and other cyber attacks through the power of the world’s leading MFT solution. Our Migration Service makes the transition even easier for organisations who prefer to use their resources building their businesses rather than improving their IT plumbing.

  • Rate Rise Should Spur Rethink | GSA

    < News Rate Rise Should Spur Rethink 13 Nov 2023 Following the Reserve Bank’s decision to further hike interest rates, it’s timely for business leaders to explore how they can minimise any negative impacts on their companies. Rowan Tracey, Partner at HLB Mann Judd , Australian businesses would need to “find efficiencies and cut operating costs”. “The Reserve Bank’s decision … will impact business margins, particularly small to medium businesses with high debt and low capital. The natural reflex for businesses is to raise prices to even out the balance sheet, which would be fine in a more buoyant economy. (But) rising fuel prices and cost of living already has many scrambling to find ways of cutting costs, including their current expenditure.” Rowan offers these alternative suggestions to businesses wanting to maintain margins without imposing price hikes: 1. Improve Productivity & Efficiency: Review processes and output and look at ways to improve or streamline your operations, such as automation of processes including business software. 2. Strategically Cut Costs: Review your current service providers and contracts and compare to the current market. 3. Revisit Your Banking & Financial Products: Look beyond the short-term and make sure the interest rate on your business loans is competitive. 4. Develop a Pricing Strategy : Look at ways to leverage or bundle existing goods and services. 5. Reconsider Your Supply Chain : Consider reducing risks by finding a domestic supplier to slash the costs of freight and storage. 6. Review Workforce Arrangements: Consider offering flexible work arrangements, nine-day fortnights, and training and development opportunities - particularly those subsidised by government. One way to address Item #1 (“Improve Productivity and Efficiency”) is to reconsider how your business transfers data. Moving data – between employees, with customers, and with your supply chain partners – is now a “core process” for every modern business. That makes it a target for improving efficiency and productivity. A Managed File Transfer solution, such as GoAnywhere MFT, is more cost-effective and efficient than having your staff waste time on old-fashioned and risky manual approaches. In fact, a study by Aberdeen Group found that businesses which invested a little in a professional Managed File Transfer solution had a median return of almost 500 times their investment!

  • Aussie cyber staff “world’s most stressed”: survey | GSA

    < News Aussie cyber staff “world’s most stressed”: survey 9 Oct 2024 Aussie cyber security workers are the world’s most stressed, according to a survey by international tech professional association ISACA. For its State of Cybersecurity 2024 report, ISACA surveyed 1,868 cyber security professionals from 102 countries, including Australia. They found that Australian cyber security workers are feeling more stressed in their jobs than their counterparts in any other country. Overly Complex, Under Resourced Respondents attributed the rising stress to Australia’s “increasingly complex threat landscape” and “continual under-resourcing” of their cyber security departments and roles. They reported lower budgets, higher hiring and retention challenges, and a more significant lack of prioritisation of cyber security risks than their global peers. Nearly half of all respondents believed their company’s cyber security budget was inadequate, and only a third expected it to be increased in the year ahead. As a result, most said they didn’t feel ready to combat the growing risk of a cyber-attack on their organisation. Burnout In a further worrying sign for Australian businesses, many cyber security professionals said the stress of their role had become so significant that they were considering moving on from their current organisation. Of those who had already left, 60% cited “stress” as the primary reason. ISACA’s Director of Professional Practices and Innovation, Jon Brandt, urged Australian employers to better mitigate the stress of their cyber defenders. “Employers (should) explore ways to support staff before burnout and attrition occur,” he said. ISACA said the increasing complexity of cyber attacks required additional effort, energy and intelligence from cyber professionals. It characterised the need to stay ahead of new technologies and digital weapons as “all-consuming”, and this explained why cyber pros in Australia were feeling the effects of increased stress in their roles. Most Australian respondents said they expected a cyber attack on their organisation during the next year. However, only 32% had a high degree of confidence in their team’s ability to detect and respond to the attack. Cyber Stress Relief Companies can take some of the load off their beleaguered cyber security staff by adopting automated, proactive and layered cyber defences. The goal is an always-on system which automatically secures, stores and transfers data, repelling cyberthieves before they gain access to company systems. The foundation of such an approach is a technology called “Managed File Transfer” (MFT). Paired with secure content engines and secure digital rights management, MFT is an optimal way to prevent data theft and cyber breaches. An MFT solution such as the class-leading GoAnywhere MFT keeps your organisation’s valuable data safe - at rest, and in transit. Coupled with an Advanced Threat Protection Bundle, it enables organisations to safely collaborate without exposing their systems or team to the risks of malware. This automated defence system protects your organisation’s data in three key ways: 1. It prevents files containing malware from being received, by scanning all inbound files and automatically stripping out embedded malware, triggered executables, scripts, or macros. 2. It blocks sensitive data from being shared, by inspecting file contents and stopping protected data from being shared, based on policies you define. 3. It redacts sensitive information from files before they are transferred, detecting and/or removing geotags, document properties, email addresses, and other metadata from documents. Local Help Available As your company’s stressed cyber professionals are signalling, today’s interconnected business environment makes cyber attacks inevitable. However, foiling these attacks no longer requires draining manual cyber surveillance. At Generic Systems Australia , we’ve helped hundreds of business leaders and IT teams across the Asia-Pacific region rest easier, knowing that their valuable data is protected by the automated sentries of GoAnywhere with Advanced Threat Protection. We can do the same for you. It’s surprisingly affordable, and our Migration Services mean you can keep running your business without disruption as we you transition to a more secure approach.

  • Understanding your organisation’s obligations for protecting Personal Identifiable Information | GSA

    < News Understanding your organisation’s obligations for protecting Personal Identifiable Information 19 Nov 2024 With the Australian Government’s imminent introduction of new cyber security legislation, it’s becoming more important than ever to understand your organisation’s legal responsibilities for protecting Personal Identifiable Information (PII). What is PII? The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) – Australia’s top government cyber security agency – says that personal data includes a broad range of information that could identify an individual. That may include an individual’s: Name Date of birth Address Medical records Racial/ethnic origin Political opinion Religious beliefs Gender Sexual orientation or practices Criminal record Payment details Email address Password License Photo Video Phone number Passport Employment information Biometrics, such as voice prints and facial recognition The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) extends that definition even further, saying it can include: Signatures Credit information IP addresses Trade union membership and associations Genetic information The OAIC cautions that sensitive information has a higher level of privacy protection than other personal information. It includes in that definition race and ethnicity, political opinions and associations, religious and philosophical beliefs, trade union membership and associations, sexual orientation and practices, criminal record, health or genetic information and some aspects of biometric information. Importantly, personal data is often greater than the sum of its parts. When seemingly innocuous data is aggregated or combined, it can be used to form a more complete picture about an individual. What Existing Laws Require The Privacy Act 1988 sets out how organisations must handle personal information, and applies to organisations with an annual turnover of more than $3 million, unless they’re a small business operator, registered political party, state or territory authority or a prescribed instrumentality of a state. Some small business operators do have obligations under the Act. These include: private sector health service providers businesses that sell or purchase personal information credit reporting bodies, contracted service providers for the Australian Government employee associations businesses accredited under the Consumer Data Right System businesses that have opted-in to the Privacy Act businesses related to a business covered by the Privacy Act businesses prescribed by the Privacy Regulation 2013 . New Obligations Incoming In October 2024, The Australian Government introduced to parliament the Cyber Security Act 2024, Australia’s first standalone cyber security legislation. If passed as expected, this new Act will impose new compliance and reporting requirements on Australian businesses. The Act is designed to address seven initiatives within the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy , including: • Mandating minimum cyber security standards for smart devices • Mandatory ransomware reporting for certain businesses to report ransom payments • A ‘limited use’ obligation for the National Cyber Security Coordinator and the Australian Signals Directorate • Establishment of a Cyber Incident Review Board. The legislation will also progress and implement reforms under the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act) : • Clarifying existing obligations in relation to systems holding business critical data • Simplifying information sharing across industry and Government • Introducing Government powers to direct entities to address serious deficiencies within their risk management programs • Moving regulation for the security of telecommunications into the SOCI Act . Legal firm A&O Shearman cautioned that the new Cyber Bill will introduce several new critical areas of compliance and reporting. It advised businesses to take heed of these new obligations, and ensure they put in place robust cyber security measures. • Ransomware Reporting Obligations: Entities impacted by cyber security incidents and making ransomware payments must report these payments within 72 hours. • Security Standards for Smart Devices: The Cyber Bill mandates that manufacturers and suppliers of smart devices comply with specified security standards. • Protected or Limited Use of Incident Information: The Cyber Bill includes provisions to ensure that information provided about cyber security incidents is used or disclosed only for permitted purposes, with strict limitations on using this information for civil or regulatory actions against the reporting entity. • Cyber Incident Review Board: The new Board will review certain cyber security incidents and make recommendations. It will have the authority to require documents. A&O Shearman said organisations should make sure they implement security standards in compliance with the specified security measures currently provided for in the Cyber Bill, and make sure they can comply with the ransomware reporting obligations, including the timelines foreseen in the Cyber Bill. ASD Advice on Data Security Practices ASD says that, for businesses to be confident they’re employing appropriate data security practices, they should consider implementing these measures: Create a register of personal data Limit personal data collected Delete unused personal data Consolidate personal data repositories Control access to personal data Encrypt personal data Back up personal data Log and monitor access to personal data Implement secure Bring Your Own Device practices Report a data breach involving personal data ASD warned that “businesses cannot afford to forgo investing in their security, and risk compromising the security of their customers’ personal data. The prevalence of data breaches and ransomware attacks underscores the importance of sound security practices. Businesses cannot afford to assume that they will not be targeted. Investing in security proactively can be far more cost effective than having to manage the repercussions and costs of a major data breach”. Solutions to Help Meet PII Obligations Cyber criminals succeed when organisations don’t adequately protect their data transfers and systems access. Keeping the thieves at bay requires a multi-layered strategy, including robust data transfer protection, multifactor authentication and employee training. 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. 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. GoAnywhere MFT also provides audit reports, which will help organisations meet the new reporting and compliance needs. All file transfer and administrator activity is stored and easily searchable. To help organisations report on file transfer activity and remain compliant with the new legislation, these audit logs can be automatically generated and provided as PDFs. Advanced Threat Protection adds a further layer of defence. SFT Threat Protection enables safe collaboration with external parties, preventing malware from entering an organisation, and reducing the risk of employees losing or mishandling sensitive data.

  • Local Businesses most at risk of Phishing Attacks: study | GSA

    < News Local Businesses most at risk of Phishing Attacks: study 9 Apr 2024 A new study has found that employees in the Asia-Pacific region are more likely than any others worldwide to unwittingly expose their organisation to cybercrime. Fortra's newly-released study found 10% of employees worldwide will open a ‘phishing’ email sent to them. In Asia-Pacific, that number climbs to 14.9% – worse than any other region. Even more concerningly, 61% of those who fall for a bogus email will go on to disclose their password. The results of the experiment demonstrate the serious ongoing threat to local organisations posed by employees who are either uneducated on cybersecurity threats, or unmotivated to mitigate those risks.
