Updated by Chris Frisch on

Overview

If you are familiar with JSCAPE MFT Server you may already be aware of the power and flexibility that Triggers can offer you as an administrator. If you are new to JSCAPE MFT Server, Triggers allow you to automate processes with the use of Event Type parameters and Trigger Actions. Basically, Event Types are predefined events with configurable parameters that represent a condition, when that condition is met it triggers the associated action to be performed. In this article I will show you how to create a Trigger to automate the deletion of aged files and explain how the Trigger accomplishes this task.

What ICAP Antivirus Scanning Means for Your File Transfers

Updated by John Carl Villanueva on

One of the key features of JSCAPE MFT Server 10.2 is the ability to support ICAP antivirus scanning. But what is it? How can it benefit your end users, trading partners, and system administrators? How does it compare to traditional file transfer virus scanning solutions? In this blog post, we answer these questions and more.

ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol), as defined in RFC 3507, allows JSCAPE MFT Server to offload virus scanning tasks to a dedicated ICAP server, enhancing security policies without burdening the local server with the heavy lifting. This advanced scanning method enables real-time antivirus checks by forwarding HTTP messages to an ICAP service for evaluation.

End users benefit from ICAP client technology by receiving and sending malware-free files without local antivirus software, relying instead on ICAP server-side scanning. Trading partners enjoy a similar peace of mind, knowing that all files transferred via FTP, HTTP, or any file transfer protocol through JSCAPE MFT Server are pre-scanned for threats.

For system administrators, ICAP virus scanning simplifies security management. By configuring the MFT server to connect with an ICAP service, they delegate the resource-intensive process of virus scanning to external specialists. This setup reduces the proxy server's overhead and ensures that virus signatures are always up-to-date without additional intervention.

This shift towards a more centralized and advanced antivirus approach underscores a commitment to security and compliance, which is critical for adhering to regulations like HIPAA and PCI DSS. It represents a significant leap forward in managed file transfer technology, offering value-added services like content filtering and malware protection with minimal impact on bandwidth and server performance.

Ready to see how ICAP antivirus scanning can transform your file transfer security? Schedule a free demo with us today and witness the power of JSCAPE MFT Server 10.2 in action.
