What it is
Globalscape EFT is a managed file-transfer platform for organizations with complex or mission-critical movement of files. It can run on premises, in a private cloud, or in AWS or Azure. Automation uses rules, folder and cloud-storage monitoring, timed actions, and an Advanced Workflow Engine. Supported protocols include HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and AS2. Named integrations include Active Directory, SharePoint, Microsoft Excel, and SQL Server, while Cloud Connector moves files to and from Amazon S3 and Azure containers. Security options include OpenPGP encryption, two-factor authentication, a DMZ Gateway, and Secure ICAP Gateway inspection and redaction. Globalscape says EFT supports PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2, HIPAA, CCPA, and SOX requirements. Its Auditing and Reporting Module records transactions for querying and audits, and active-active high availability with load balancing is available. The maker describes users from small businesses to large Windows-centric organizations. Pricing is on request, with a 15-day trial listed.
