Free Diagnostic Tool Provides Visibility and Reporting on Customer
FTP Traffic, Enables Partners to Consult with Customers to Mitigate
Potential Data Loss REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 28
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tumbleweed(R) Communications Corp.
(NASDAQ:TMWD), an industry leader in managed file transfer and
email security, today announced the general availability of FTP
Analyzer(TM) to its channel partners. With the FTP analyzer,
channel partners will gain visibility into their customers' File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) traffic, including rogue FTP traffic. Many
organizations are unaware that substantial amounts of
business-critical data are entering and leaving their network via
unsecure or rouge FTP servers, leaving them vulnerable to data
breaches. As file sizes have grown and email attachment sizes have
continued to be limited, employees have increasingly turned to FTP
for the transmission of files in business interactions. As a
result, FTP has emerged as a new security attack vector, and a wave
of high-profile data breaches, as well as reports of organized
criminal activity, has stemmed from vulnerabilities in susceptible
FTP servers. "Tumbleweed's FTP Analyzer provides visibility into an
organization's FTP traffic -- this enables partners to consult with
customers and prospects in a way that helps mitigate potential data
loss, and evaluate the need for a managed file transfer solution,"
said David Harris, vice president of global channels at Tumbleweed.
"Customers recognize the need to take responsibility for their
data, and with this tool partners can play an even more significant
role in preventing customer data loss." With the FTP Analyzer,
partners can monitor and assess customers' network FTP activity.
This enables them to evaluate the exposure of sensitive data via
FTP, and provides the insight to help identify and mitigate
potential data loss risks. The tool generates a two-page
executive-level report detailing: -- Overall volume of secured and
unsecured file transfer traffic -- Secured and unsecured file
transfer traffic over time -- Top 10 largest unsecured file
transfers -- Top 10 busiest FTP servers by number and volume of
unsecured files transferred Collectively, this helps partners
evaluate the business need for a more comprehensive managed file
transfer solution. A leader in managed file transfer, Tumbleweed's
award-winning SecureTransport(TM) product effectively secures,
automates and manages mission-critical file transfers with a
flexible, easy to use solution that helps ensure both data
integrity and compliance. Moreover, the tool is an excellent
marketing and customer support vehicle, featuring a branding kit
that allows partners to customize the tool with their logo and
contact information. Interested partners should contact
Tumbleweed's Alliance Partner Program (TAP) at to learn more about
how they can use the FTP Analyzer with their customers. SAFE HARBOR
