Ipswitch's MOVEit Adds to Its Rich Array of Federal Certifications with U.S. Army's Certificate of Networthiness.

Customers Able to Leverage Enterprise Data in a Highly Secure, Highly Reliable Digital-Certificate Environment

LEXINGTON, Mass., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Ipswitch, Inc.'s File Transfer division, the leading developer of secure and managed file transfer solutions, announced today that the United States Army's Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) has approved a Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) for the Ipswitch MOVEit Central and MOVEit DMZ secure managed file transfer software products (versions 5.0 and 5.2). This is in addition to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation the MOVEit products have previously received, and the Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC) single sign-on (SSO) authentication support that MOVEit DMZ provides.

A CoN is required for all information systems operating on the Army's Enterprise Infostructure (AEI). Certification involved examining how the MOVEit products met Army enterprise-level requirements, including network security, compatibility, integration, manageability, interoperability, documentation and supportability. It also involved consideration of the ways in which the MOVEit products impact a number of issues on the local level, including operations, maintenance, and training.

"Data security is absolutely crucial to our armed forces. CoN certification, FIPS 140-2 validation and CAC SSO support are just a few of the reasons why MOVEit Central and MOVEit DMZ are especially well suited for protecting sensitive government data," said Gary Shottes, president Ipswitch File Transfer division.

This enterprise-level Windows-based automated managed file transfer program has the ability to securely pull, process and push files on a scheduled, event-driven or on-demand basis between internal and external systems, including MOVEit DMZ servers. Central does this using easily clicked-together tasks (no programming required) that can be used to automatically exchange files between multiple systems using multiple protocols. Central can process files as part of an automated transfer using numerous built-in functions as well as by triggering third-party applications and VBScript scripts.
