Kiteworks MFT

Kiteworks Managed File Transfer (primary)Compare with others in Managed File Transfer

Product

Kiteworks MFT is the managed file transfer component of the Kiteworks Private Data Network, delivered as a hardened virtual appliance on premises, in a private cloud, or hosted by Kiteworks. It moves files over SFTP, FTPS, SMB/CIFS and AS2 and to cloud stores, with workflows scheduled through a visual designer. The same platform provides browser-based secure file sharing and secure email for person-to-person exchange. For organizations that need to scale without limits, Kiteworks MFT deploys across clustered nodes for high availability — so even when individual nodes go offline, file transfers route automatically to working nodes and operations never miss a beat. That movement is called managed file transfer , or MFT, and for most organizations it is simultaneously mission-critical and deeply underprotected. Every file in motion is encrypted in transit; every file at rest is protected with AES-256 encryption inside the Kiteworks hardened virtual appliance . Recorded capabilities include ad-hoc secure sharing, api integration, as2 (b2b edi) and browser transfer client.
