"The danger lies in the ad hoc sharing of files without regard to data protection," says Carol Baroudi, senior research analyst at Aberdeen. "There's widespread legitimate demand -- organizations need to put in appropriate controls."

Ease of use and dramatic cost savings are spurring long time users of secure file transfer to evaluate new offerings. In many cases, organizations can get out from onerous fees and even experience better service. New accelerating solutions can dramatically cut the time needed for lengthy file transfers.
