Kiteworks Managed File Transfer
San Mateo, California, USA
What it is
Kiteworks Managed File Transfer automates enterprise file transfers involving sensitive data across partners, regulators, and internal systems. It supports SFTP, FTPS, SMB, CIFS, and AS2, and connects to storage services including AWS S3, Azure Blob, Azure Files, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage, Box, and Wasabi. Files are encrypted in transit and protected at rest with AES-256 inside the Kiteworks hardened virtual appliance. Failed transfers can resume from where they stopped, including files up to 16 TB. A workflow designer powered by Apache Airflow schedules multi-step automation. Identity integrations include SAML 2.0, Kerberos, LDAP, Active Directory, Entra ID, Radius, MFA, and SCIM through the REST API. The platform supports DLP and ATP integrations and can export syslog events to SIEM systems such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, ArcSight, LogRhythm, and FireEye Helix. Kiteworks states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certifications. Deployment options include on-premises, private cloud, hybrid, and FedRAMP, with 24×7 technical support listed.
