Transferring Big Data Securely with SEEBURGER
May 22, 2012
Along with Mobility and Cloud Computing, Big Data is one of the most important IT trends of 2012. All companies, to compete effectively, must deal with Big Data. But how can these huge files reach their location safely? Which transmission paths should be used?
Many companies expect to gain a competitive edge through the systematic evaluation of all its database information (Big Data). Such evaluation can lead to better customer service, streamlined logistics processes, targeted mailing lists, clarified market trends and more…
Often, data must first be collected from different databases and different locations. So, having good, secure data storage is one part of the equation. Yet, does that storage security matter when large volumes of data are transmitted via open communication channels such as fax, email, FTP or simple copy mechanisms through network connections?
Thomas Kamper, Executive Vice President, SEEBURGER AG: "Especially in the era of Big Data of ever-increasing amounts, companies must not only check their data storage, but also their means of transmission for the security aspect of the end user." Whether pricing, planned marketing campaigns or personal data, the files exchanged within a company are Intellectual Property (IP) and therefore worthy of protection.
Managed File Transfer (MFT) allows the secure and traceable exchange of unstructured files of any size. Thanks to central monitoring and reporting tools, companies are given a clear overview of all electronic data transfers.
