The Managed File Transfer Security and Innovation Leader is First to Balance Browser-Based Simplicity with Automated PGP Encryption
SAN ANTONIO, TX, June 2, 2026 – Customer demand for the simplicity of browser-based file transfers once came at a steep price: exploitation of vulnerabilities in browser-based file transfer applications leading to data breaches affecting tens of thousands of organizations, millions of individuals, and at a cost of billions of dollars. Coviant Software has solved the problem with the release of Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal, the most secure browser-based file transfer solution available today.
“Coviant Software has never sacrificed security on the altar of convenience, and we never will. That is why we never offered a browser-based option for file transfer. Until now,” said Greg Hoffer, CEO, Coviant Software. “After many years of thoughtful design and rigorous testing, we have threaded the security-convenience needle with an option that enables simplified drag-and-drop navigation but is purpose-built to avoid the security risks that have plagued other products. What’s more, we also have powerful security features unique to Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal that make it the most secure browser-based file transfer solution available today, bar none.”
What sets Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal apart from other browser-based MFT solutions is that Coviant Software developers have excluded unnecessary functionalities that can make MFT workflows vulnerable to threat actors. By streamlining the architecture, while retaining familiar navigation, Coviant Software minimized the solution’s risk profile.
“We are also the first to figure out how to automate PGP file encryption for browser-based file transfers,” Hoffer added. “No other product can do that, and the security implications for organizations with extensive information supply chains are massively important.”
By automating PGP file encryption in a browser-based format, healthcare, financial services, and other enterprises that must send and receive sensitive information to and from many smaller entities can standardize on PGP. That means improving information supply chain security and reducing complexity without inconveniencing trading partners that may not have the resources or expertise to adopt more secure processes.
Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal eliminates the security-simplicity tradeoff that plagues other browser-based products like MOVEit, GoAnywhere, and SolarWinds Serv-U. The Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal also helps organizations overcome other challenges associated with establishing automated file transfer workflows:
- Reduces operational costs
- Simplifies information supply chains
- Enhances collaboration with internal assets, partners, vendors, suppliers, etc.
The Diplomat MFT 9.5 Web Transfer Portal is available immediately. Existing users can easily upgrade their software through the Coviant Software customer portal or contact technical support with any questions or assistance required. Customers can enable browser-based functionality or choose to leave it disabled. Browser-based functionality with automated PGP encryption continues Coviant Software’s history of industry leading security innovation and list of security features, including:
