Live Sessions

I recently gave a one-hour presentation on managed file transfer industry entitled "When Data Moves, Do You Listen?" to the following audiences:

Recorded Sessions

I haven't quite made the leap from computer science graduate to anchorman, but I have recorded several short video segments in the past few years.

Selected Print Citations

I do enjoy working with reporters, whether educating IT media on managed file transfer or specifically pitching new product developments. Here are some of the places I've been cited or published.

"Even at the most attentive companies, the contradictory mix of ever-increasing data volumes, increasingly strict corporate governance and rising availability expectations lead people to wonder how all those file transfers can be supported, let alone secured."

"With awareness of data breaches at an all-time high, banking institutions are working hard to implement policies and solutions that protect sensitive financial information along with their reputations and industry competitiveness. In today's digital world, critical financial data - including social security numbers, bank account information, mortgage statements, payment card numbers, and other high-value, highly confidential information - is being sent back and forth between businesses and individuals at speeds faster than anyone ever thought possible. While this information exchange allows financial institutions such as banks to deliver higher levels of service and capitalise on emerging growth opportunities, it also leaves them vulnerable to security breaches and data leaks."

"Vendors that offer managed file transfer (MFT) believe their solutions are the best way to go for sending not only files securely, but also keeping tabs on them. The 'managed' file transfer industry grew out of three common business needs. First, businesses found themselves needing to set up, track and reconfigure hundreds of scheduled FTP jobs. Second, businesses needed to permit but monitor end-users performing Web-based or other ad hoc transfers. Third, businesses wanted their key internal systems to interact with partners or far flung installations using the efficiencies of bulk data sets. Lampe notes that all of the vendors who provide managed file transfer solutions today provide answers to all three of these needs, in addition to their own specialties."

"We're setting a new standard for managed file transfer, delivering to organisations the visibility and controls they need, while making it easier than ever for end-users to securely transfer files of any size. The Outlook plug-in (in the Ad Hoc Transfer Module) provides a seamless employee experience as they interact with people inside or outside the organisation."

"In this economy, it's increasingly common for companies to invest less in the physical infrastructure or IT staff it takes to administer and maintain on-premises software, such as a secure managed file transfer solution, said Jonathan Lampe, vice president, Research & Development. The answer: create a simulated IT department using cloud computing, virtualization, SaaS, and hosted services."

"MOVEit DMZ is mostly deployed in high volume, high security environments; typically enterprises who need fixed point of presence on Internet, and for end users who need to drop off files that need to be secured."

"We are moving all product lines to platforms that support virtualisation and support 64-bit, as the indications from Microsoft is that the era of 32-bit computing is coming to an end."

WS_FTP Server delivers a base of features that are proven for security, safe storage, file sharing and transfer."

White Papers

Over the years I've written two or three dozen white papers on file transfer. One of my favorites is "Secure by Design", an in-depth description of the architectural decisions that drove the solution-oriented yet secure design of a combined MOVEit DMZ - MOVEit Central system. Another favorite was my whitepaper on MOVEit's high level of PCI compliance; in this paper the brand was taken to places you don't normally see software such as physical security. (Hint: encryption using non-OS-based keys is good!)

A good selection of several of these papers can be found on Ipswitch File Transfer's web site.

Blogs and Newsgroups

Most of my professional blogging is done on Ipswitch File Transfer's official blog. You can drill right into my articles here.

Most of the rest of my professional blogging is done on LinkedIn. The main discussions I participate in on LinkedIn are in the File Transfer Technology Group, the Managed File Transfer Group and the SOA Data Integration Architecture Group. .

Most of my professional newsgroup postings will be found in either security groups (such as BugTraq) or official MySQL groups.

If you search hard enough you'll also find evidence of the "guerrilla marketing" I used at Standard Networks in the 2000's to get the word out about MOVEit - especially MOVEit Freely. (e.g., example 1 and example 2)
