To help those server administrators who need to meet stringent regulatory compliance requirements and corporate security policies, we've put together an extensive list of tips for hardening a file transfer server that's built to be secure.

You need to harden your server to avoid penalties. However, if your company is operating in a highly regulated industry and need to comply with data protection laws and regulations like HIPAA and PCI DSS, you don't have a choice. If you're not exchanging any sensitive data and your servers aren't really high-performance grade, you don't need to enable every single security feature available. Some security functions, like strong encryption, are computationally expensive and can cause performance hits. Not all file transfer servers need to be configured to a high level of security.

Unless you implement those changes, you won't be able to realize the full (security) potential of your secure file transfer server. In addition, some functions need to be configured and, in some cases, disabled, to ensure optimal protection. While inherently secure file transfer servers like JSCAPE MFT Server are packed with lots of security features, many of those features need to be activated first.
