What is SFTP? SFTP is a file transfer protocol that’s normally packaged with Secure Shell (SSH), the network protocol most IT administrators use to access and manage remote Linux, UNIX and macOS machines in a secure manner. Most of these systems already have built-in support for OpenSSH, an open source implementation of SSH. Even later versions of Windows Server support OpenSSH.

The rationale for this federal law, which introduces provisions for stringent financial reporting, internal controls and corporate governance, was to restore investor confidence in the capital markets and prevent corporate fraud. Today, publicly traded companies must ensure the accuracy of their financial statements to avoid regulatory penalties, reputational damage and legal repercussions.

In the highly regulated financial services industry, it's crucial to maintain compliance with information security standards. Doing so establishes trustworthiness, mitigates data security risks and prevents costly fines and penalties stemming from non-compliance. One of the most important standards in this sector is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which lays out an extensive framework of requirements to safeguard the storage, processing and transmission of payment card data.
