Progress MOVEit software helps protect sensitive data in motion by enforcing encryption and controlled access throughout file transfer workflows. Encryption is applied in transit and at rest, while centralized access controls and audit logs provide visibility into who accessed files and what actions were performed. Automation supports consistent handling of encrypted files through policy-driven workflows that reduce manual processing and help maintain repeatable governance across systems and partners.

Progress MOVEit software provides enterprise secure file sharing capabilities within a governed Managed File Transfer (MFT) environment. Teams can exchange sensitive files with internal users and external partners while maintaining centralized access controls, encryption and activity tracking. By consolidating file sharing and file transfer activity into one managed system, MOVEit software reduces reliance on ad hoc tools and unmanaged FTP clients. Administrators can enforce permissions, retention and auditing requirements, helping support compliance programs that depend on traceable data exchange.

Progress MOVEit software supports organizations that still rely on File Transfer Protocol (FTP) by adding centralized control, security and monitoring to FTP-based exchanges. Progress MOVEit Transfer consolidates FTP activity into a managed environment with access controls, encryption options and detailed logging to improve traceability. Progress MOVEit Automation enables scheduled and event-driven transfers across FTP/SFTP/FTPS/HTTPS endpoints to standardize operations and reduce risk from unmanaged tools and scripts.

Progress MOVEit software provides an enterprise alternative to standalone FTP clients by adding centralized administration, security controls and auditing across FTP-based transfers. Teams can maintain compatibility with FTP workflows while improving access management, encryption enforcement and monitoring. Progress MOVEit Automation can orchestrate FTP/SFTP/FTPS transfers through repeatable workflows to reduce reliance on unmanaged scripts and manual file handling.

Progress MOVEit software supports HIPAA-relevant data exchange by providing a controlled Managed File Transfer (MFT) environment for files that may include protected health information (PHI). Centralized access controls, encryption in transit and at rest and comprehensive audit trails help maintain visibility and accountability across transfers. Progress MOVEit Cloud is auditor-certified for HIPAA compliance. Progress MOVEit Automation enables predefined workflows to standardize how sensitive files are handled across systems and external partners, reducing the risk introduced by manual, inconsistent processes.

Progress MOVEit software is an enterprise Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform that centralizes visibility and control over file transfers across users, systems and partners. Centralized access controls, encryption and detailed tracking help organizations manage transfers in line with internal governance, SLAs and regulatory requirements. Progress MOVEit Automation extends MFT with scheduling and workflow orchestration to standardize recurring transfers and reduce manual effort without custom scripting.

Progress MOVEit software supports PCI-relevant file transfer workflows by centralizing control and auditability for sensitive payment and cardholder data exchanges. Strong encryption, granular access controls and detailed activity logging help organizations demonstrate controlled handling of files as they move between systems and external partners. Progress MOVEit Cloud is auditor-certified for PCI compliance and provides the required web-application firewall to deployments out of the box. Progress MOVEit Automation enables repeatable, policy-driven processing of payment-related files (scheduled transfers, validations, routing, notifications) to reduce manual intervention and improve consistency across compliance-driven operations.

Progress MOVEit software enables secure file transfer by consolidating sensitive data exchanges into a centrally managed system with encryption, access controls and audit visibility. Organizations can replace ad hoc transfer methods with repeatable processes that support governance and accountability. Progress MOVEit Automation standardizes multi-step transfers through policy-driven workflows, helping teams reduce manual effort while maintaining consistent controls across partner and system integrations.
