Diplomat MFT Release Timeline

The data you rely on to achieve your mission deserves the best protection possible, which is why Coviant Software strives to deliver the best possible managed file transfer solution to keep data files moving reliably and safely.

From the start of our twenty years in the industry, Coviant Software has taken a secure-by-design approach to the development of our products. Then we set out to keep our products at the leading edge of performance and security with a philosophy of continuous improvement. The result? While other managed file transfer software vendors have grown content, with good enough, our Diplomat MFT family of secure managed file transfer software has evolved in keeping with market needs and customer input.

Today your MFT software choices have contracted even as costs have risen because major players like Cerberus FTP, Globalscape, GoAnywhere, Ipswitch, and JScape are now owned by profit-hungry private equity firms. And other vendors are cutting back on R&D and customer support. In addition, many vendors are now scrambling to address vulnerabilities in their products. Meanwhile, Coviant Software keeps listening to—and delivering on—enterprise demands for a secure, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective MFT solution.

VERSION NUMBERRELEASE DATEHIGHLIGHTED ENHANCEMENTS
9.5March 2026
  • New Web-based File Transfer option: Empower end-users to log in and transfer files securely using nothing but a browser, with no software installation or configuration required from them.
  • Option to automatically PGP encrypt uploaded files from the browser: In a world first, end-users uploading files to Diplomat MFT can have those files be compressed and encrypted automatically in the browser before it's uploaded. No extensions, no software installation, no knowledge of keys required. This makes security and compliance a breeze without the extreme complications added by PGP encryption mandates.
  • Edge Gateway can act as outbound proxy: For some organizations it can be beneficial or even required to have connections to third parties be initiated from a known DMZ-based system rather than directly from the internal network. Diplomat MFT makes it easy to use the Edge Gateway as an outbound proxy for that purpose.
  • Added web hook notification option for Transactions: Open-ended ability to pass information about successful or failed processes to any system with a webhook capable of receiving that information makes integration easier for SIEMs, ticketing systems, application servers, enterprise job management systems, and more.
  • Added option to force admin logins to use SSO: Single sign-on integration is one of the rare exceptions where security and convenience are both increased. Now in addition to supporting SSO you can explicitly require it to be used every time to ensure compliance with your policies and regulatory compliance goals.
9.4.1September 2025
  • Threat Intelligence for SFTP Server: Real-time blocking of malicious IP addresses with automated threat detection to prevent intrusions and advanced persistent threats.
  • IP Access Rules for SFTP Server, SFTP Groups, and Web Admin access: Granular control to block high-risk IP addresses, ensuring only trusted users and networks have access.
  • Encryption Enforcement: Automatically remove inbound files that aren't PGP encrypted to ensure only properly encrypted files are processed to comply with policies and regulations and prevent sensitive data exposure.
  • SFTP Connections report (CSV and PDF): Complete visibility into file access for compliance audits and security monitoring with full transparency.
  • Added syslog support for login events (SFTP Server and Web Admin): Centralized monitoring of all system logins to identify suspicious activity across the entire network.
  • Zoho WorkDrive Transport Type: Easy integration and automated file transfers to Zoho WorkDrive, reducing manual work and errors.
  • Expanded RegEx matching ability to optionally choose to apply to subfolder pathing in addition to the file name: More flexibility in organizing file names and file types, reducing manual sorting and errors.
9.4May 2025
  • Granular permissions and custom roles for more flexible, role-based security: Provides fine-tuned access control, improving security and aiding in regulatory compliance by ensuring only authorized users can access specific resources.
  • Support for SSO (single sign-on) for Administrator connections: Simplifies administrator login and centralizes user management, enhancing security and reducing administrative overhead.
  • Connection Map report to display visually or catalog in a CSV the connections between systems made by Diplomat MFT: Helps with compliance, such as HIPAA, by documenting data flow across the digital supply chain, where all involved parties handling PHI are responsible for its security.
  • Dry Run option to review behavior of file transfer workflow without actually executing it: Reduces the risk of errors during workflow configuration by allowing users to preview actions without actual data transfer.
  • Expanded LDAP support for group assignments in Admin Roles and VFS Groups: Simplifies user and role management by integrating with existing directory services, reducing administrative tasks.
  • Support for OneDrive transfers: Enables seamless integration with Microsoft OneDrive for file transfer workflows, expanding connectivity options.
