Overview
Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT Gateway provides an additional layer of security when exchanging business-critical or sensitive data with trading partners. It allows you to keep file sharing services (e.g. FTP/S, SFTP, HTTP/S servers) and documents safely in your private/internal network. With GoAnywhere Gateway, no inbound ports need to be opened into your private network, which is essential for compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, HITECH, SOX, GLBA and state privacy laws.
GoAnywhere Gateway helps keep file sharing secure by:
- Not allowing incoming ports to be opened into the private network, which reduces the risk of intrusion
- Not storing sensitive data files in the DMZ
- Keeping user credentials, certificates, and keys safely in the private network
- Supporting FTP/S, SFTP, SCP, HTTP/S and AS2 file transfer protocols
- Hiding the locations and identities of internal systems
- Not requiring any special hardware components; it is a software-only solution
GoAnywhere Gateway helps you:
- Keep inbound ports to your network closed
- Share files with trading partners, users, clients, and vendors without having critical documents or files stored, even temporarily, in your DMZ
- Make connections to external systems on behalf of users and applications in the private network as a forward proxy, allowing for easier management of file transfers from your firewall.
- Hide the identities and locations of your internal systems for better security
- Be flexible, as Gateway is a platform agnostic, software-only secure file gateway solution. Install it on Windows, Linux, AIX, UNIX, or other operating systems to enhance file security in whatever environment works best for you.
As an industry-leading, innovative MFT solution, GoAnywhere and GoAnywhere Gateway can help reduce costs, improve file transfer quality, and help organizations comply with data transfer standards and regulations.
