Episode 86 — Secure File Transfer and Collaboration Patterns
As organizations share data across teams, vendors, and regions, secure file transfer becomes essential to maintaining trust. This episode explains the difference between ad-hoc sharing and structured file exchange systems, highlighting the risks of uncontrolled uploads and public links. You’ll learn how protocols like SFTP, FTPS, and HTTPS-based APIs safeguard confidentiality and integrity in motion, and how managed file transfer (MFT) platforms enforce authentication, encryption, and auditing at scale. The conversation also addresses human behavior—how convenience often undermines control when users bypass official channels for speed.
Listeners will explore collaboration solutions such as SharePoint, Google Drive, and OneDrive, examining how shared permissions, versioning, and retention interact with corporate governance. We discuss data residency, link expiration, and secure external sharing policies that balance usability with compliance. The episode ties these lessons directly to GSEC domains on data protection and operational controls, showing that secure collaboration depends as much on design and education as on the technology itself.
