Filecatalyst Application Security 〈LATEST〉

openssl s_client -connect your-server:443 -tls1_2

Date: April 14, 2026 Document ID: FC-SEC-RPT-001 Product Scope: FileCatalyst Direct, Workflow, Central, and Transfer Agent 1. Executive Summary FileCatalyst is a high-speed file transfer solution that uses UDP-based acceleration. Its security model differs from traditional FTP/HTTP because it prioritizes transfer speed while maintaining enterprise-grade confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The primary security strengths are end-to-end encryption (AES-256) , role-based access control (RBAC) , and FIPS 140-2 compliance . Key risks stem from misconfiguration (e.g., disabling certificate validation) and legacy protocol fallbacks. 2.
