Most companies do not have sufficient knowledge about how much FTP is taking place on their network, what data is moving in and out of the enterprise and who (or what) is initiating the FTP activity. Unmanaged FTP usage can expose companies to the embarrassing and expensive experience of announcing a breach of sensitive customer and corporate data

FTP exposes companies to inadvertent breach of logon information and sensitive data.

Block Unwanted FTP Activity

FTP/WatchDog-Z users can write simple SAF (RACF, ACF2 and TopSecret) rules to police the usage of the z/OS FTP server. These rules can block unwanted FTP activity (e.g. the transmission of sensitive data across the firewall). They can also block access to the FTP server from unauthorized locations, thereby defeating hackers who use bots to try to break in.

Perform Detailed FTP Audits in Minutes

FTP/WatchDog-Z gives your organization the information they need to know to properly manage FTP usage:

Locate and Audit FTP Servers Throughout the Network

Knowing where FTP servers are, what files they make available for download and what they are being used for enables you to address concerns and close exposures to sensitive data before they harm your organization.

FTP/WatchDog-Z enables companies to monitor Enterprise-wide FTP usage, real-time, and perform regular FTP audits.
