Secure File Transfer In the Era of Regulatory Compliance
by Keith Pasley, CISSP

It is critical that the storage and transfer of information and data is reliable and secure. File transfer as a business process must provide end-to-end visibility, security, auditability and compliance management.

Increasing regulatory compliance mandates such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, BASEL II and J-SOX are compelling companies to establish a management strategy that includes the file transfer process, integrates into existing processes and minimizes cost of compliance to the bottom line.

A Secure Managed File Transfer approach can help companies meet the challenge of safely and reliably exchanging electronic business information... Would you like to hear more about compliance? Read the whitepaper and see the compliance matrices.

Leveraging WUG SNMP
One of the more annoying office experiences we all encounter from time to time is the disconnect between hitting the print button from your desktop only to find the printout could not occur because of toner outage or a paper level problem. WhatsUp Gold and its inherent SNMP monitoring can help eliminate these headaches for you and even more importantly your colleagues who all look to you to fix the problem. HP and many other branded printers have SNMP agents embedded in them thereby allowing WhatsUp to manage them for any counter the manufacturer has exposed from paper levels to toner levels to paper jams. For those admins. with more interest in trending printer data, performance monitors can be set-up for printers, much like any other device.
