Secure File Transfer
Secure file transfer refers to using encrypted or protected methods to send files over the internet to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
- Data theft: Unsecured file transfers can expose sensitive personal or business information.
- Malware transmission: Files shared via unsafe methods may carry viruses or spyware.
- Privacy violations: Confidential documents can be accessed by unintended recipients.
- Legal risks: Mishandling private data can lead to compliance violations and penalties.
Example: A company’s sensitive financial records were intercepted because employees used an unencrypted file-sharing service.
- Use secure file transfer services with encryption (e.g., SFTP, HTTPS, or encrypted cloud storage).
- Password-protect files before sharing them.
- Avoid sending sensitive documents over email unless encrypted.
- Verify the recipient’s identity before sharing confidential files.
- Regularly audit file-sharing permissions to prevent unauthorized access.
