Software Assist offers an FTP Analysis Service to help you assess the amount and type of FTP activity that is taking place in your organization. In the FTP Analysis you have an opportunity to answer questions about FTP usage in your organization:

• Who is using FTP?
• What are they doing with it?
• What data is going in and out of the organization?
• What sensitive data is transmitting unsecured across the firewall?
• What remote locations are accessing the company's FTP servers?
• When are the peak periods for FTP usage?
• Are any servers being compromised by anonymous FTP usage?
