In the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, USB flash drives were a hot commodity. Back then, they were not very common, had 8MB of storage and the concept of data leaks or picking up malware from one was not considered a major threat. 

Fast forward over two decades later and not only are they faster but much, much larger often with capacities of up to 1 terabyte. What could sit on a stick of that size? Your whole 'My Documents' folder! Despite this, many companies continue to have relaxed policies around USB sticks, along with little to no technical controls in place around them.

The dangers of uncontrolled USBs include data ingress (think intellectual property and designs from rivals along with stolen music and films), data loss by egress, the spread of malware, and more. When it comes to blocking these threats, deploying a Data Loss Prevention solution can go well beyond the capabilities of GPO (Group Policy Objects) settings or antivirus; it can also offer many ways of controlling USBs with fine granularity.

In this webinar, Graeme Batsman, Fortra’s Sr. Professional Services Consultant will share his expertise on:

- Dangers of uncontrolled USBs
- Past leak stories from the press
- Options to control USBs
- Options to encrypt data moving to USBs”
 And live demos of course!

Your Data is Traveling, Shouldn't your Security?

Optimising Data Classification for Your Business: A Tailored Approach to Comprehensive Security.

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, an increasing number of vendors promise all-encompassing solutions to address your security needs. While the concept of a “one-size-fits-all” platform may initially appear enticing in terms of business efficiency, the reality often falls short of expectations. These tools, designed for the standard organisations, frequently do not align with your specific requirements.  

By adopting a best-of-breed data classification solution, you can ensure a tailored, precisely configured solution that accommodates your organisation's unique needs, whilst offering a wide array of integrations. During this enlightening webinar, we will explore the following key themes:  

 - The necessity of specialised providers to fulfil the increasing granular data labelling demands mandated by data protection regulations.  

- The important of sub-categorisation in developing a meaningful and effective data classification policy.  

- Why high-level classification policies often fall short of meeting the compliance needs of both the organisation and regulators. 

- Strategies to optimise returns on your technology investments whilst ensuring robust data classification.  

Watch this webcast to  learn about the intricacies of tailoring your data classification approach to enhance your organisation’ security and compliance whilst optimising technology investments.

Go Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Data Classification: Protect Data You Care about

The sheer volume of data created and exchanged daily creates complex challenges for organizations to monitor, audit, and secure that data effectively. This complexity not only increases risk but can greatly hinder efficiency. While the volume of data has increased, so has the value of this data. The loss or misuse of data can result in substantial financial and reputational costs. Now, more than ever, organizations need to know what data they have, where it lives, how it is shared, and who has access to it.

So how can organizations maintain better control of its data exchanges while still providing efficiency for users and trading partners? Join this discussion to learn about the best practices, strategies, and tools today’s organizations are leveraging to combat challenges when it comes to streamlining and securing their data, including tactics for:

- Centralizing file transfers
- Using secure protocols
- Maintaining file transfer audit logs
- User-friendly, enterprise file sharing
- Automatically removing sensitive data from emails and documents
- Automatic virus scanning

Introduction to Managed File Transfer with GoAnywhere

Digital transformation has brought advantages but also increased vulnerabilities when transferring data. Data leaks can wreak havoc to businesses' budget, reputation and drain precious time and resources.

It is essential when securing data transfers to select the right encryption method to help shield against adversaries seeking to harm your business through data theft. 

We are joined by Heath Kath, Lead Solutions Engineer at Fortra, who will demonstrate the best practices for securing vulnerable data transfer through appropriate encryption protocols. 

Join this webinar for insight into:

- Why encryption matters and how it works
- Advantages and disadvantages of using certain protocols
- How using MFT can make a difference between a secure file exchange and a vulnerable one

Choosing the Right Encryption Method to Securely Exchange Files

As more and more businesses move to a multi-cloud strategy, transferring data between cloud platforms has become a crucial aspect of the migration process, and due to the numbers of platforms and interfaces companies work with today, security, auditing, and maintainability of data transfers is growing ever more difficult.

As a result of all the added complexity, operational expenses and security threats are likely to rise, and this is what drives companies to look at a secure file transfer solution to assist with both the manageability and security of moving to cloud. 

Join Gary Hibberd, Security Consultant and Funso Richard, Information Security Officer, in this webinar to explore top considerations around cloud migration and how to transfer data securely, including: 

- How legacy processes and ineffective data management impacts security and compliance 
- The importance of data control: who has access to the data, and how it is transferred 
- The challenges of moving to a pure cloud infrastructure vs hybrid 
- The need for organisations to have an MFT solution that is transparent  

As demonstrated in the webinar, discover how a single cloud-hosted solution, like Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT, can easily encrypt, send, log, and automate all your file transfers.

How to Transfer Data Securely When Moving to the Cloud

This webinar zeroes in on a variety of automation tasks GoAnywhere MFT can handle, including:

- Encryption and decryption with PGP and encrypted folders
- Initiating file automations
- Data translation and database queries
- Error notification
- Reducing the risk of human error that comes with repeated changes

Automate for More Cybersecurity Efficiency

The speed at which businesses operate today obliges workers to increase efficiency. With the ease at which large amounts of data can be shared via email, digital media, and cloud apps, it is easy for confidential information to be mistakenly over-shared and exposed.
88% of data breaches are caused by employee mistakes—human error according to a joint study between Stanford researchers and security firm Tessian.
