Cerberus FTP Server
Data Transfer Security
Strong transfer encryption, robust access security, comprehensive logging and streamlined compliance tools to support data transfer security and privacy requirements
It is one of a kind. 99% of searches done looking for “File Sharing” are cloud-based. This is not applicable for a lot of agencies that protect sensitive data that prefer or require data to remain on-premise. In addition, Cerberus FTP Server is scalable, clean-cut and simple for end users, and supports multiple sharing protocols.
Data Transfer Security Over Any Protocol
Use the Server Manager to transfer via FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, or SCP, with support for TLS 1.3, SSL cipher specification; RSA, DSA, and Elliptical Curve public and private keys; and Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
FIPS 140-2 Validated
Data transfer security certified to meet or exceed U.S. federal government data security standards.

File Transfer Integrity Checking
Using strong checksums based on SHA-512 or SHA-256 cryptographic hashes.
Secure File Access
Cerberus FTP Server’s User Manager provides data transfer security through user- and protocol-based connection and login requirements; automatic account lockouts; password policies and change alerts; temporary user accounts; and the ability to block FXP and reserved ports for PASV connections.
Multi-Factor Web Client Authentication
Using HOTP and DUO Security for both HTTP/S web client and web administration users.
SFTP/SCP Multi-Factor Authenticaion
Active Directory FTP Security Groups
Including Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).


Client Certificate Verification
Via several different configuration options, including our OpenSSL command line tool.
SSH2 Public Key Authentication

IP Allow and Deny Lists
Through Cerberus FTP Server’s IP Manager, which includes auto- and geo-blocking to prevent DoS and brute force attacks.

Automatic Auditing & Logging
Cerberus FTP Server provides a complete view of your data transfer security at all times. Conduct full audits of all commands and file activity (including TLS/SSL cipher and bit strength per connection) while streamlining reporting with Syslog integration and rolling log files with configurable size limits.
Detailed Reporting
Report Manager generates detailed client activity audits based on user names, dates ranges, and file access.
SQL Database Capture
Cerberus FTP Server’s Enterprise Edition allows administrators to create detailed connection, login and file transfer reports with enhanced report filtering/ordering by file name, file time stamp, user, date, or host.
