Securing and Managing FTP -- Its Time Has Come

Few managers realize the security and management risks that have blossomed in their organization with the prevalent use of FTP. Fewer still have taken measures to bring the use of FTP into compliance with regulations such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA, State Privacy Laws or other mandates.

During this session, Mel Beckman identifies the key pitfalls of using traditional FTP methods for exchanging data. You will learn how to bring FTP into a more modern, secure framework that enhances IT manageability while adhering to growing compliance requirements. Popular secure protocols (e.g. SSL and SSH) will be described for protecting your data transmissions, along with details on modern authentication techniques that go beyond simple user ids and passwords.
