Clearswift Filecatalyst < 95% PLUS >

The foundation of Clearswift's security offering is its patented engine, which detects, analyzes, and modifies content in real time.

: Clearswift inspects the file. If it finds a hidden virus or sensitive "PII" (Personally Identifiable Information), it redacts the sensitive text or removes the virus in real-time.

Clearswift offers tools that enable secure file sharing and collaboration within and outside an organization. These tools are designed with robust security features to control who has access to what information and to monitor and manage data exchanges.

While Clearswift and FileCatalyst can be used separately, their true power emerges when Clearswift's DLP capabilities are integrated with managed file transfer (MFT) solutions. clearswift filecatalyst

The architecture relies on the industry-standard ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) to seamlessly bridge the gap between high-speed movement and granular security inspection.

The cleaned, compliant file is sent back to FileCatalyst, which completes the delivery to the final destination directory or endpoint. Key Business Benefits Uncompromising Compliance

Medical imaging files (DICOM) and genomic sequencing data are enormous. These files contain highly sensitive Personal Health Information (PHI). The solution allows hospitals and research facilities to collaborate globally, ensuring HIPAA and GDPR compliance through automated redaction of patient identifiers. The foundation of Clearswift's security offering is its

Clearswift, a leader in Adaptive Data Loss Prevention, integrates with FileCatalyst via the ICAP protocol. This allows every file being transferred to be intercepted and inspected in real-time without manual intervention. 1. Deep Content Inspection

: Detects and strips out "active content" such as malicious macros, scripts, or embedded executables that could hide within large media files or datasets.

: Removes "document properties" (like the author’s name or internal server paths) from files before they leave the organization to prevent reconnaissance by bad actors.

FileCatalyst, developed by Fortra, solves the speed dilemma by bypassing TCP entirely. It utilizes a proprietary UDP-based protocol to maximize bandwidth utilization.
