In financial services, secure data exchange isn’t just a technical concern, it’s a trust imperative.
Every day, banks and financial institutions move sensitive customer data, handle complex regulatory requirements, and automate workflows across ecosystems. And in the middle of this operational intensity, file transfers quietly carry a heavy weight. One misstep, and the cost isn’t just compliance failure, it’s customer trust lost.
That’s where Axway MFT (Managed File Transfer) comes in.
Let’s explore 5 high-stakes scenarios where financial institutions rely on it—and why.
1. Event: Sensitive Data Transfers Between Entities
- Why: Sending files via email, FTP, or shadow IT tools puts customer data at risk.
- Delivery: Axway MFT ensures end-to-end encryption, user access control, and detailed audit logs.
- Impact: Ensures data confidentiality, reduces the risk of leaks, and reinforces trust across internal and external entities.
2. Event: Rising Regulatory Pressure (e.g. GDPR, NIS2, PSD2)
- Why: Regulators demand traceability, encryption, and evidence of control in data exchanges.
- Delivery: Axway MFT offers robust encryption, auditable trails, retention policies, and SIEM integration.
- Impact: Demonstrates compliance by design, lowers exposure to legal and reputational risks.
3. Event: Manual Processes Slow Down Data-Driven Operations
- Why: Manual file exchanges between systems and partners are error-prone and slow—especially across ETL, APIs, or ERP systems.
- Delivery: Axway MFT introduces automated workflows, event triggers, and integrations with SAP, REST APIs, and SFTP.
- Impact: Reduces operational effort, improves SLAs, and scales productivity without compromising control.
4. Event: Data Leak or Misdelivery Incident
- Why: Human error or inadequate tools can result in data loss or exposure.
- Delivery: Axway MFT applies sharing policies with expiry controls, monitors access logs, and enforces restrictions.
- Impact: Enables faster incident response, limits damage, and rebuilds internal confidence in secure data processes.
5. Event: Lack of Central Visibility Over File Transfers
- Why: Without unified visibility, security teams can’t answer “who sent what, where, and when?”
- Delivery: Axway MFT consolidates transfer channels into a central dashboard with real-time monitoring and custom alerts.
- Impact: Offers complete operational insight, strengthens centralized risk control, and simplifies governance.
