6 foundational steps to secure your MFT and EDI platforms

Securing your MFT (Managed File Transfer) and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) platforms are essential for any organization looking to run secure and effective IT infrastructures. In today’s increasingly digital world, the data exchanged between systems is more important than ever. However, to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data, there needs to be a comprehensive security policy established first.

This article will discuss the 6 foundational steps to secure your MFT and EDI platforms. In addition, we will provide you with practical advice on ensuring that your system is constantly updated with state-of-the-art encryption methods, authentication protocols, monitoring tools, and more. By following these tips, you can ensure that your data transfers are protected against cybercrime threats.

  • Use of secure protocols:
File transfer protocols such as SFTP and HTTPS should be used to ensure that data is transferred securely.
  • Authentication and access control:
It is important to implement strong authentication measures, such as multi-factor authentication, and to carefully control access to the platform to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Encryption:
Data transmitted through the platform should be encrypted to protect against interception and unauthorized access.
  • Monitoring and logging:
It is important to monitor activity on the platform and to keep logs of all activity in case of any security incidents.
  • Regular updates and patches:
It is important to keep the platform up to date with the latest security patches and updates to ensure that any known vulnerabilities are addressed.
  • Risk assessment:
Conducting regular risk assessments can help identify and mitigate potential security threats.
