Moving files can be risky. But as the awareness of what could befall a file in transit grows, so does the list of products available to businesses and individuals to mitigate that risk. This week Ipswitch, Inc. launches one of the latest: Sendable, a file sending solution for individuals and prosumers.

According to Ipswitch, nearly 90 percent of respondents to a recent survey use external devices to move work-related files — which can pose a security risk to organizations and individuals.

While managed file transfer (MFT) has been around for a while, not everyone has been quick to embrace the available technology. “People who don’t have a managed file transfer platform simply can’t afford the hefty price tag on other file transfer solutions,” believes Gary Shottes, president of Ipswitch File Transfer. “Whether you need security around sensitive files, visibility into files sent, received, opened and shared, or just a hassle-free way to send large files, Sendable makes it possible at a very affordable price.”

Overall, adoption of MFT technology is growing as companies of all sizes are realizing that USB flash drives, removable disk drives and cell phones can easily move sensitive, large files. Small- to medium-sized companies to the enterprise are turning to MFT for moving internal and external files, especially as compliance requirements spread beyond specific industries.

Sendable is cloud-based, and can transfer files up to 15GB. File delivery tracking offers email notification when files are received, downloaded and opened. Sensitive information is secured with end-to-end encryption, and password protection. In addition, senders can control the number of times a file may be downloaded.

Sendable is available immediately.
