SEATTLE, WA — (Marketwire) — 02/15/12 — today announced that , the U.K.-s leading supplier of software solutions for secure file transfer, has partnered with Attachmate to sell and distribute the and managed file transfer solutions in the U.K. market.
“We see this appointment as a strategic step, widening our access to the U.K. market where there is very attractive growth potential,” said Camille Morgan, Attachmate channel manager. “HANDD File Transfer offers enormous experience and credibility, and has a strong foot-hold in the market. We are looking forward to working with HANDD and being part of its growth in the coming years.”
Secure and managed file transfer have seen significant market increase over the last few years due to the inherent weaknesses of FTP, including an inability to provide data encryption, advanced authentication, reporting and detailed auditing. In contrast, managed file transfer offers comprehensive control and visibility of data as it flows around organizations and between them and their stakeholders. Operational efficacy, data protection standards and governance all require data security more than ever in order to divert file leakage disaster. A recent survey by Attachmate revealed that numerous companies still use FTP or other legacy data transfer systems, even though 53 percent of those surveyed realize that these methods do not meet their current security standards. Thus, it comes as no surprise that data security is viewed as an organization-s greatest challenge.
