Diplomat MFT: Managed File Transfer Solutions for Financial Services.

With security risks like cyberattacks, check fraud, and digital supply chain compromise targeting the financial services industry, more secure ways of transferring data are needed. That’s why financial services organizations are turning to Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions to address the growing challenges of secure data exchange and regulatory compliance.

One recent study found that banks were 300 times more likely to be targeted by cybercrime, and that ¾ of all data breaches are due to human error. And the cost of a data breach in financial services is 40% higher than average. This underscores the important role of managed file transfer for securing sensitive file transfers and automating error-prone processes. An MFT solution can help by:

  • Encrypting data both in transit and at rest
  • Providing detailed audit trails for every file transfer
  • Enabling secure file sharing across the entire financial supply chain
  • Automating workflows to reduce human error and improve efficiency

Many financial services firms (including one of the world’s largest banks) rely on Diplomat MFT to automate the secure transfer of their files, mitigating the risk of a data breach by automating encryption management and reducing human error.

Managed File Transfer Helps Support Security, Compliance, and Resilience Goals

The cost of a data breach can be steep for financial services organizations, and human error is the top cause. File misdelivery, accidental exposure, and failure to encrypt can result in a security incident and cost millions. Regulations like DORA, GDPR, GLBA, SOX and others demand rigid security practices when handling sensitive financial data and customer records.

Don’t take chances with custom scripts and manual file transfers. Instead, rely on Diplomat MFT for secure, reliable, and automated managed file transfers.
