Secure person-to-person File Transfer solution recognised for its value to small enterprises as a finalist in ‘Best SME Security Solution’ category

London, UK – 22 February 2013 – Ipswitch File Transfer’s MOVEit Ad Hoc is shortlisted for SC Magazine Europe’s ‘Best SME Security Solution’ Technology Award. MOVEit Ad Hoc ensures secure sending and receiving of sensitive files and messages between individuals and groups.

MOVEit Ad Hoc technology provides peace of mind for businesses sharing mission critical digital information with their employees, partners and customers using Outlook or any simple browser interface. A recent Ipswitch study reveals that more than a third of people sharing information are doing so insecurely, through personal email or consumer file-sharing sites. MOVEit Ad Hoc provides a simple yet secure solution to sharing files which avoids this increasingly prevalent risky behaviour.

SC Magazine is the world's largest dedicated IT security publication, serving the industry for over 15 years. The SC Awards Europe are among the most coveted and prestigious awards for the information security industry, honouring vendors that deliver the most innovative security technologies. Ipswitch File Transfer MOVEit Ad Hoc has been shortlisted for a Technology Award in the category of ‘Best SME Security Solution’. This category is open to innovative products addressing the security demands of smaller enterprises. Winners will be announced at the SC Magazine Europe Awards on 23 April, to be held at London’s Hilton Park Lane.
