From the Office of the CTO:
Security, Visibility and Community

By Dave Bennett, CTO, Axway
 
Governance across all interactions—the sum result of the concepts of security, visibility and community—is the single most essential IT capability demanded by today's enterprises.
 
But what exactly are we talking about here? We all have a sense of what these three concepts mean in their own right, but where it concerns governance, what do they mean exactly? Read more

How to Win Today's Security Battles
By Joe Fisher, SVP, Product & Solutions Marketing, Axway
 
Business today revolves around communication and the exchange of data. Organizations must mitigate risks like data leakage and theft — and face these and other challenges such as compliance demands — with real-world, comprehensive solutions. In the past, technology has taken a siloed, point approach to solving these problems. We (the security solutions industry) need to think less about blocking and protection, and more about enabling data to be shared and utilized in more secure ways, to make business better. Read more

US Marine Corps Defends Mission-Critical Communications with Validation Authority™
 
The US Marine Corps relies on the Axway Validation Authority™ (VA) (formerly known as the Tumbleweed VA) to distinguish friend from foe in real time and ensure the security of mission-critical communications among its force of more than 40,000 personnel worldwide. The VA's ability to validate the status of digital certificates in real time ensures that revoked credentials cannot be used for secure email, smart card login, Web access or other electronic transactions.

For Security, Encryption and Ease of Use in Managed File Transfer, Kronos Turns to Axway
 
Kronos was seeing the effects of the limitations of its file transfer protocol (FTP) server. Customers that send large files to Kronos were frustrated with the transfer system — it was difficult to use and had no resume capabilities. In addition, the types of files and information being transferred needed high levels of security and encryption.
 
The robust capabilities of Axway Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions have helped Kronos automate, monitor, and troubleshoot file transfers, providing them with real-time visibility and alerting. Read more

Founded in 1989, IPC provides its members with systems and programs to ensure that international mail is delivered efficiently and competitively.

By Jean-Michel Issakidis, Business Solution Marketing Manager, Axway
 
Supply chains today are complex, incorporating massive networks of partners and distribution points. Building end-to-end supply chain visibility through the track & trace of flowing goods and data files may be critical to the sustainability and continued innovation of your company. Read more


What's New in SecureTransport™
 
The Axway and Tumbleweed merger last September brought together two of the market leaders in managed file transfer (MFT) solutions.
