Businesses of all sizes need secure and scalable methods for sharing information, but it's not always clear what the best protocols and solutions are for each use case. Two of the most commonly used data transfer protocols are Applicability Standard 2 (AS2) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). While AS2 is a protocol-based standard that's most often used for data transfers that require proof of receipt, SFTP is a more commonly used protocol for secure, scalable file transfer.

SaaS APIs typically require some kind of authentication to allow access. While there are many ways that APIs can implement authentication, one popular choice is using secret keys as the scheme. Exposing secret keys directly to a client application however can create security risks, so how can client applications based on libraries like React securely access SaaS services? Many APIs, including Ably, offer an additional client-oriented token authentication system.

In the past, enterprise software focused on protecting network access through on-premises firewalls and VPNs, working on the assumption that everything within the network was secure. However, today, as accessing data has extended beyond on-premises locations to cloud and hybrid networks, SaaS platforms require a security model that can address a broader range of attack vectors. Zero Trust security addresses this pressing need.

In today’s data-rich world where large volumes of data exchange have become frequent, ensuring the data transfer mechanism is safe and secure is essential. Data security is of utmost importance, and the data transfer tool you select should provide data encryption. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is one such file transfer mechanism that businesses can leverage to securely transfer files between users and locations, regardless of their network or device type.

The Managed Detection & Response (MDR) industry finds itself in a new era with unprecedented challenges from platform giants and the migration of the attack surface to the cloud, with innovation becoming a requirement for survival. Companies built to provide clients with 24×7 “eyes on glass” now find themselves at the intersection of rapid technological advancements and evolving threat landscapes.

Discover how API management and service mesh can go hand in hand toward secured platforms Over the last ten years, Kongers have witnessed hundreds of companies adopting a full lifecycle API management platform and have been working with the people behind the scenes, the “API tribes.” We’ve also learned from the field that API tribes most often have to deal with heterogeneous platforms, infrastructures, and clouds.

Secure FTP (SFTP) is a powerful protocol that businesses can use to improve collaboration, increase efficiency, and safeguard sensitive information. By using SFTP, businesses can securely transfer files between users and locations, regardless of their network or device type. This can help improve productivity and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. In this article, we’ll discuss what is SFTP, how it works, its benefits, and how to set up SFTP for your business.

You’ve probably heard of the Internet of Things (IoT); all those everyday objects that incorporate computing functions. For example, the IoT allows you to connect your phone to your refrigerator. This way, you can know exactly what to buy at the supermarket for that impromptu dinner that night. Perhaps you’re part of a DevOps team, using microservices and containers to build and deploy legacy and cloud-native applications quickly and iteratively.

In today's data-driven world, the seamless exchange of information is the lifeblood of modern enterprises. Whether you're a small startup or a global corporation, the ability to securely and efficiently transfer data between systems and partners is essential for success. This is where Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) emerges as a crucial player, providing a robust framework for data integration that safeguards sensitive information while ensuring its swift and reliable passage from point A to point B.
