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.
