Background

The headlines can be chilling. Financial institutions last year accounted for nearly 10% of all reported security breaches in North America and the risks are growing. Virtually every financial institution today does at least some amount of work globally, entrusting critical business information and processes to international partners, customers and third-party service providers.

All of these practices require institutions to exchange large amounts of information -- including financial data, product plans, and customer records. Information that is routinely shared in megabyte, gigabyte and even terabyte files with their business partners around the world using protocols like FTP, HTTP, S-HTTP, SFTP and FTPS could be putting them at risk if this information should fall into the wrong hands via an unsecured network.
