Clearswift Filecatalyst [new] -

To grasp how the combined solution operates, it is necessary to examine what each component brings to the data security suite: 1. FileCatalyst: The Acceleration Engine Clearswift – Secure ICAP Gateway - BlueFinch ESBD

FileCatalyst comprises several applications working together:

Request a proof-of-concept (POC) from an authorized reseller. Test your largest, most problematic file over your worst network link. Verify the speed. Audit the security logs. You will never go back to slow, risky file transfers again.

A user or automated script initiates a high-speed file upload via a FileCatalyst client to the FileCatalyst Server.

FileCatalyst specializes in moving data at full line speed, overcoming packet loss and latency. It is used when large files need to be delivered in minutes rather than hours, making it ideal for media, broadcasting, and remote collaboration. 2. Clearswift SECURE ICAP Gateway: Deep Content Inspection

Sharing large research datasets or patient information securely, ensuring PII/PHI is redacted.

: UK Ministry of Defence sharing intelligence between security domains. Solution : The solution supports "Two Person Integrity" for policy changes and mandatory cross-domain filtering via ICAP. Outcome : Meets DefStan05-138 and DCPP standards, ensuring that only sanitized, safe files cross security boundaries.

Speed is dangerous if the content being accelerated contains malware or leaks proprietary trade secrets. This is where Clearswift’s Secure ICAP Gateway comes in. Rather than relying on simple metadata or superficial file extension checks, Clearswift performs deep content inspection.

The true innovation of Clearswift FileCatalyst lies not in either component alone, but in their seamless integration. Consider a defense contractor transferring satellite imagery from a forward operating base to a central analysis center. FileCatalyst ensures the multi-gigabyte files traverse a poor satellite link at maximum speed. Simultaneously, Clearswift’s DCI scans each image metadata for embedded geolocation coordinates that might reveal sensitive patrol routes—and redacts them automatically before writing the file to the central repository. This happens without user intervention, without staging files on an intermediate insecure server, and without breaking the transfer session.

The partnership between Clearswift and FileCatalyst (both part of the Fortra portfolio) represents a "best of both worlds" scenario. Organizations no longer have to choose between the efficiency of high-speed UDP transfers and the rigors of enterprise-grade content security. By inspecting data at the speed of business, the integration ensures that your most valuable digital assets remain both mobile and secure. Share public link

Leverage FileCatalyst’s ability to saturate big pipes and overcome latency.

Speed is dangerous if you are accidentally moving malware or leaking sensitive customer data. This is where Clearswift comes in. Unlike traditional "stop-and-block" firewalls, Clearswift uses .

Traditional DLP often blocks transfers entirely if a violation is found, halting productivity. Clearswift’s takes a more surgical approach:
