BBES Group: A Unified Vision for Secure Managed File Transfer

In the world of digital transformation, data is the lifeblood of every organisation. But how do you ensure its secure, efficient, and seamless movement across systems, partners, and geographies? This question is at the heart of what brings us together at BBES Group—where expertise meets innovation in Managed File Transfer (MFT).

BBES Group was born from the union of three industry leaders: BlueFinch-ESBD, Systematik, and Blackbridge. Each of us came with a rich legacy, a deep understanding of data security, and a shared mission: to empower businesses with reliable, secure, and compliant data transfer solutions.

What unites us is our passion for data security, innovation, and customer success. As BBES Group, we are shaping the future of Managed File Transfer, ensuring that your critical data moves securely, efficiently, and effortlessly—every time.

Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions offer the perfect blend of security, control, documentation, and automation for your entire data exchange process with business partners, customers, and employees.

In today’s mobile work environment, MFT ensures a secure and efficient way to handle sensitive company data, whether it’s structured or unstructured. It gives you full visibility and control, ensuring no security or compliance risks slip through the cracks.

With MFT software, you can meet all compliance requirements, even across complex corporate networks.

The Future of Managed File Transfer Starts Here

Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a secure, automated solution for transferring large files or sensitive data across networks, ensuring compliance, encryption, and reliable delivery. It streamlines file-sharing processes while maintaining data security and integrity.

It allows you to securely exchange or merge your sensitive files via different, centrally monitored communication platforms. An audit trail can effectively prevent data loss or even manipulation. Your industry-specific compliance requirements as well as your company’s own specifications and the legal data protection regulations are, of course, taken into account. 

Automation is key to file transfer 

The future of file transfers lies in automation. Manual processes are no longer sustainable in today’s fast-paced, data-driven world. Automating file transfers ensures data security, efficiency, and reliability while reducing IT workload. With seamless integration into cloud services, business applications, and databases, organizations can streamline operations and scale effortlessly. By implementing a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution, businesses gain greater control, compliance, and peace of mind, eliminating the risks associated with manual file handling. With BBES Group, you can future-proof your file transfer processes and focus on what truly matters—driving your business forward.

Automation

How can you increase your security with MFT? 

Data security is not just an organisational strategy for protecting sensitive information. It also involves the testing and deployment of software solutions that ensure reliable protection, whether data is at rest or in transit.

For organisations of all sizes, a robust Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution offers a centralised, user-friendly way to secure, automate, and streamline data exchange while minimising risks associated with human error.

With strong encryption protocols and automated workflows, MFT safeguards files both during transfer and while at rest.

As a reusable and scalable security solution, MFT enables businesses to securely automate B2B data exchanges, enhancing efficiency and compliance.

Before implementing a secure file transfer solution, it is a good idea to know the basics of the protocols involved in transmission in order to remain secure. MFT solutions must be able to connect to a wide variety of file transfer servers:  FTP, SFTP, FTPS, AS2, AS3, AS4, PeSIT, HTTP, HTTPs, SCP, etc. 
  • Reports and audits trails

    The solution generates comprehensive audit logs of all file transfer activity in a central database. Reporting allows you to gain access to important audit information and can be run instantly through the browser-based console and scheduled for distribution to the network or via email.

  • Audit data content

    By coupling a DLP solution with MFT software, you can detect and prevent (accidental) disclosure of sensitive, business-critical data. This makes it easier for you to meet compliance regulations and data protection laws. 

  • Person-to-Person Collaboration

    Employees, customers and trading partners can efficiently share files and collaborate from any authorized computer or mobile device. Sensitive files are encrypted at rest with centralized access controls in order to meet strict compliance requirements.

  • Protect data

    Ensure that only approved recipients can access your sensitive data and verify exactly what recipients can do with it.  

    Powerful MFT software with encryption and rights management capabilities ensures that your unpayable data assets don’t fall into the wrong hands.
