The global economic landscape can be described by one word: “uncertain”. Lingering effects from the 2020 pandemic, combined with new waves of international tariffs throughout 2025, have created a climate of depressed economies and intensified competition. In response, most enterprise organizations are tightening their belts and scrutinizing every expenditure to weather this prolonged period of global instability. However, this approach isn't limited to enterprises; software vendors, too, are feeling the pinch. Often, the first area to see cutbacks or a decrease in quality is in customer support, particularly support channels, availability, quality and crucially, turnaround times and service-level agreements (SLAs). For critical infrastructure like managed file transfer (MFT), this quantity-over-quality approach to support can lead to significant inefficiencies and costly downtime for enterprise organizations already struggling.

Break free from costly vendor lock-in Let's be blunt: some MFT vendors have built product suites that are less about true partnership and more about proprietary siloing. Their solutions are often designed to work exclusively with one another, effectively pushing organizations away from integrating their existing technologies, instead of building on those past investments. Enterprises are forced into adopting an entire suite of micro-solutions to achieve true enterprise file transfer, such as needing to purchase separate products for gateways (reverse proxy servers), large file sharing and even centralized administration.

For enterprise organizations relying on managed file transfer (MFT) solutions, cybersecurity often feels like an arms race. The need to patch MFT software vulnerabilities to prevent breaches or ransomware clashes with the operational disruption that those updates can cause, creating a dilemma between staying available for business or staying secure. Recent years have highlighted this pain point for MFT users, with several vendors experiencing ransomware and recurring high or critical software vulnerabilities in their solutions, creating more opportunities for threat actors to exploit their customers.

Global enterprises today are navigating a landscape marked by significant economic volatility. Fluctuating markets, shifting trade policies and persistent economic uncertainty are compelling enterprise organizations to reevaluate spending and prioritize operational efficiency. In these challenging conditions, revisiting even seemingly stable systems, such as managed file transfer (MFT), can be a strategic step toward uncovering improved efficiency.

Zero-day exploits are currently one of the most prevalent cyber attacks impacting file transfer solutions. We won’t go into specifics, but a recent file-transfer-related data breach that impacted almost a million individual records was caused by a zero-day exploit.

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. Since these types of sensitive data are critical to business processes or subject to regulatory compliance mandates, they need to be protected.

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.

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.
