< News Make Email Attachments Safe 3 July 2024 Email attachments continue to be the single biggest threat to your organisation’s cyber security. In 183 million phishing simulations conducted by Proofpoint customers this year, almost one in six recipients of a suspicious phishing email failed to protect their organisation’s valuable data. Employees either clicked a malicious link, performed a bogus password reset, or downloaded malware or ransomware. With such a high and persistent risk of cyber incursion, organisations increasingly require more from their file transfers than standard email attachments can provide. They need a smarter, more reliable way to send files, stay secure, and meet the needs of their clients, compliance mandates, and industry regulations. Managed File Transfer (MFT) future-proofs an organisation’s ability to send and receive files quickly, breaking free of the constraints of email attachments, and maintaining cyber security. Problem: Size Caps Most email applications cap the size of email attachments to 25 MB. That may have been “big enough” a couple of decades ago… but no longer. Now, a single high-resolution image can easily exceed 25Mb. Sending an entire folder typically requires zipping it to condense its contents. However, splitting ZIP files into chunks less than 25Mb is a time-consuming hassle. Problem: Insecure Even when successfully sent, email attachments pose ongoing security risks. They can be forwarded to unintended users. Worse, a single recipient with an infected device can infect the attachment with malware and spread it to others. On top of that, there’s always a possibility that an employee could send an email to the wrong person, or mistakenly send sensitive information outside of their network, causing compliance issues for your organisation. Problem: Indiscriminate If an attachment message originates internally, the protocol to keep sensitive data safe (or how to determine what sensitive data is) is often not widely disseminated or used. Encrypting attachments, one effective mechanism, can be tricky for casual users and implemented inconsistently, undermining its reliability as a whole-of-organisation solution. Problem: Degraded Performance Too many attachments can clog your inbox archive and slow backup processes. Some file types such as DLLs, JARs, and SOs may be completely blocked by email systems, disrupting business processes. Unpacking endless ZIP files also depletes available server resources. GoAnywhere MFT to the Rescue Email attachments have their place. But too often they’re a far from ideal way to move data, failing to provide the efficiency, agility, speed, and protection companies need when sending the files that underpin their business. That’s where GoAnywhere MFT can help. Solution: No Size Limits Providing a secure alternative to emailing files, the Secure Mail module in GoAnywhere MFT enables employees and other authorised users to easily send files. It’s much more secure than traditional email, and doesn’t limit file sizes or types. GoAnywhere not only frees your organisation from file size constraints, it also includes accelerated file transfer technologies which speed files to their destinations. Patented UDP file transfer technology enables even the largest files to be sent without incident from anywhere in the world. GoAnywhere’s MFT agent also helps ensure large batch files get to their destination with auto-resume and integrity checks, ensuring all of your message gets there in one piece, despite any network connectivity issues along the way. And if a network connectivity issue prevents the file being successfully transferred, GoAnywhere’s comprehensive alerts ensure you’ll know immediately. Solution: Secure Encrypted Sends Encryption is built into GoAnywhere. Any files sent are automatically encrypted end-to-end using one of a range of encryption protocols, including Open PGP, SFTP, FTPS, AS2 or AS4, and ZIP with AES. GoAnywhere also enables password protection for the attached downloads in case they are sent to the wrong recipient. Additionally, Secure Folders provide a place where your team can safely collaborate. Solution: Bottleneck Buster Lag, inefficiencies and other performance inhibitors are nullified GoAnywhere’s load balancing . Managed transfers help maximise uptime, and clustering functionality distributes files across your network, so they get there in the fastest time and with the least amount of disruption. Solution: Seamless Integration with Inbound Protection By combining GoAnywhere MFT with Clearswift in our Threat Protection Bundle , organisations can create layered cyber defences which enable their teams to receive and share information securely without impairing their productivity. It seamlessly integrates MFT with advanced threat protection and adaptive data loss prevention to keep your sensitive data secure. Not only does it prevent malware from entering your organisation, 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. The SFT Threat Protection Bundle can also automatically detect and - if you configure it to do so - prevent employees from sharing sensitive information.

< News Phishing Surges on the Back of QR Codes 17 July 2025 New research published by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) shows that phishing attempts have surged to levels not seen since late 2023. QR codes are increasingly the attack vector of choice. Each day, millions of emails are sent containing QR codes that lead consumers to phishing sites and malware. Q1 Lowlights · APWG observed a total of 1,003,924 phishing attacks in the first quarter of 2025 - the largest number of attacks per quarter since late 2023. · Attacks against the online payment and financial sectors grew in Q1 2025, comprising 30.9% of all attacks. · The total number of wire transfer Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks increased by 33% in Q1 2025 compared to the previous quarter. Most Targeted Industries The SaaS/Webmail sector was the most targeted industry by cyber attackers in Q1 2025, making up almost 18% of the total attack volume. The financial industry also continues to be a highly attractive sector for cyber threat attackers, with Payment, Banking, and Crypto contributing to approximately 33% of all phishing attacks in Q1 2025. QR Codes Popular QR code attacks occur when an adversary leverages QR codes to social engineer a user, such as redirecting a victim to a phishing website or to download a malicious attachment. QR codes are becoming an increasingly popular phishing tactic due to the various features they offer. Cyber attackers have been observed taking advantage of QR code features in the following ways: · The availability of free QR code generators facilitates phishing attacks due to decreased financial costs of infrastructure, and free services tend to have less resources dedicated to takedowns of legitimate service abuse and other malicious activity. · Attackers can combine QR codes with URL shorteners to obscure the true destination of the URL and thereby direct victims to malicious sites. Certain industries tend to be more prone to QR code attacks, such as Retail & Wholesale, as consumers have adapted to relying on QR codes to access these services. Burgeoning BEC APWG member Fortra tracks the identity theft technique known as “business e-mail compromise” (BEC). BEC was responsible for A$4.3B in losses in 2024 according to the IC3. In a BEC attack, a threat actor impersonates an employee, vendor, or other trusted party in an email communication and attempts to trick an employee into sending money, privileged information, or some other asset. · During the first quarter of 2025, gift card scams were once again the most popular scam type, making up more than half the total number of attacks. · The total number of wire transfer BEC attacks observed by Fortra in Q1 2025 increased by 33% compared to the previous quarter. · The average amount requested in wire transfer BEC attacks in Q1 2025 was A$65,000. · 72% of BEC attacks in Q1 2025 were launched using a free webmail domain. · Remcos RAT was the most common malware payload Fortra observed in Q1 2025.

< News MFT Lends Small IT Teams a Big Hand! 29 Sept 2025 Small and medium-sized organisations face the same escalating cyber threats as large corporations. However, they need to deal with those threats with much smaller IT teams and resources. Installing a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution can help lift a heavy load from your stretched IT team, freeing them up to focus on other business needs. Your Davids vs The Cyber Goliaths Hackers are increasingly forming large, decentralised syndicates to attack and exploit vulnerabilities worldwide. This enables them to attempt phishing, malware deployment and credential theft across a vast number of organisations simultaneously. What makes these syndicates especially dangerous is their resilience: even if parts of their network are shut out, others remain active to reconfigure and attempt a different attack. By further leveraging automation and remote access tools, hackers can scale their operations with minimal effort, making their networks a formidable threat to organisations of all sizes. Small IT teams need powerful IT allies. And one such ally is an MFT solution, such as GoAnywhere MFT." MFT in a nutshell Managed File Transfer is a secure, automated solution for exchanging data—internally and externally—across systems, employees and partners. Unlike traditional file transfer methods (like FTP or email attachments), MFT offers encryption, access controls, audit trails, and automation, all within a centralised platform. MFT offers both effectiveness and efficiency boosts to small IT teams. Tough Encryption MFT encrypts files both in transit and at rest, reducing the risk of interception and unauthorised access. Sensitive data—financial records, customer information, intellectual property—remains protected even when transferred across public networks. Automate Repetitive Tasks With limited manpower, automation is key. MFT enables IT teams to schedule and monitor file transfers without manual intervention. This reduces human error and frees up time for strategic tasks like threat monitoring and system updates. Access & Authentication MFT offers granular user permissions and multi-factor authentication, ensuring only authorised personnel can access or send files. This minimises insider threats and accidental data exposure. Audit Trails & Compliance MFT logs every file transfer, creating a detailed audit trail that supports compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. For small teams, this built-in reporting saves hours of manual tracking and simplifies audits. Centralised Management Instead of juggling multiple file-sharing tools, MFT consolidates transfers into a single dashboard. This streamlines oversight, reduces shadow IT activity, and makes it easier to spot anomalies or unauthorised activity. Scalable Security Support MFT doesn’t just protect data—it empowers small IT teams to enforce enterprise-grade security without needing enterprise-sized resources. By automating secure transfers, reducing manual errors, and centralising control, MFT acts as a force multiplier for your IT Team’s cybersecurity efforts. And for small IT teams, it’s not just a tool—it’s a strategic upgrade to their cyber resilience.

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

< 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.

< News Black Friday Sales Splash Creates Data Surge 12 Nov 2024 Data transfer traffic is already surging across Australia as many online retailers jump the gun and promote Black Friday Sales early this year. Australians are set to spend a record $6.7B during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, according to Roy Morgan Research. An increase of 5.5% on last year, this level of spending will mean Black Friday has well and truly eclipsed Boxing Day as Australia’s top shopping event of the year. 50% of Australians plan to participate in the annual sales splurge, according to Future Publishing Australia’s inaugural Consumer Confidence Report. Of these, 45% plan to find their Black Friday deals online. Data Transfer Tsunami The surge in sales will in turn create a tsunami of data transfers, as businesses transact, process orders, and share a variety of e-commerce files with their supply chain partners. For some businesses – those still using outdated file sharing technologies like email and FTP – this will be a hugely stressful period. They’ll need to be hyper vigilant for lost orders, failed file transfers, and man-in-the-middle hack attacks. Other businesses - those taking advantage of modern, automated file transfer technologies such as Managed File Transfer (MFT) - will surf the data tsunami with ease. MFT will comprehensively address the risks and challenges of moving information, both within their organisation, and with external suppliers, partners and customers. Through centralised control, encryption, automation and auditing, MFT will provide the security, efficiency, reliability and scalability that FTP and email never could. “Cyber Trust” Consumer trust in retailers’ e-commerce transactions will be an even more important factor in eventual sales numbers this year. High profile hacks of consumer data over the past 12 months are leading consumers to question the security of a company’s systems before handing over credit card and other information. Companies will need to be able to provide reassurance – and proof – that transactions and personal data will be secure. Companies with MFT will be better able to provide that reassurance, keeping a clean history as responsible guardians of customer data. Shopper Shift Chris Ferguson, commercial director APAC at Future Publishing Australia, described the popularity of Black Friday in the local market as a “pivotal” change in the retail landscape. “Consumers are increasingly drawn to the prospect of early savings and the convenience of online shopping, so retailers anticipate and accept this new reality to capture their share of the market.” He said that, despite the current economic climate, his research showed Australians remained committed to their festive spending plans. 56% of Australians still plan to spend the same amount as last year on Christmas gifts, while 21% intend to spend even more. Australian Retailers’ Association CEO Paul Zahra said retailers were “pulling out all the stops to ensure they have the best product lines and gift solutions, customer service offerings and enhanced online platforms to make shopping during this peak season more seamless than ever.” He said most discretionary retailers expect to make up to 66% of their annual profit during peak season.

< 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.
