When we use Transport Layer Security (TLS), we typically do so to protect our data while transmitting it over the network and to ensure that our users are connecting to the right server. These two operations, i.e., data-in-transit encryption and server authentication, rely on a TLS artifact known as the server certificate. That being said, TLS also supports another operation that uses a different type of digital certificate. It's called client certificate authentication, and it relies on client certificates.

Banking institutions, including commercial, retail and investment banks, frequently exchange files with various trading partners, which typically include customers, clearinghouses, corporate clients, other financial institutions, regulatory authorities and other organizations. Many of these files are crucial to time-sensitive business processes. Most also contain sensitive information, making them subject to governance and data privacy/protection laws and regulations, such as:

Banks store, process and transfer vast amounts of sensitive consumer data. This may include financial information, credit card data, personally identifiable information (PII), loan details and transaction data.

This year, the stakes for regulatory compliance are higher than ever. Organizations face an increasingly complex landscape of data protection and privacy regulations, many of which impose strict requirements on how you move, process and store sensitive data during file transfers. Secure file transfers are no longer just a best practice — they are a compliance imperative.

Advanced secure file transfer solutions, like managed file transfer (MFT) servers, are no doubt more expensive than run-of-the-mill file transfer software. In fact, you can get a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server or even a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server for free. Many operating systems already have SFTP servers built-in, so they’re readily available at no additional cost.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) file transfers are two of the most user-friendly methods for carrying out user-initiated file uploads and downloads. Users only need a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari to perform these actions. In a previous tutorial, we outlined the steps for setting up an HTTP file transfer. So, in this post, we’ll focus more on HTTPS.

Scheduled file transfers offer significant operational, strategic and technical benefits. They allow your IT staff to save time and improve productivity. They also help ensure that data transfers for time-sensitive business processes are consistently carried out on time. Lastly, they enable you to maximize computing resources and network bandwidth when you schedule the transfers to run after office hours.
