7: The Risky Business of FTP Servers

If you’re sending personally indentifiable information (PII) via
basic FTP then your business is at risk. FTP servers do not
provide the protections that are needed for today’s threat
landscape.



The recent FBI Private Industry Notice to healthcare providers
warns of criminals strategically targeting basic FTP servers. But
the issue doesn’t just effect the healthcare industry. The
banking and finance industry are also a major target for cyber
criminals.


In this episode of Defrag This, Kevin Conklin, VP of Product
Marketing at Ipswitch discusses why FTP is not appropriate for
sending sensitive data and how upgrading your file transfer
infrastructure with an secure managed file transfer solution can
protect your business.
