If employees are using regular email software and methods of attachments to send sensitive data and client information or transfer large files, an ad hoc file transfer solution can tighten up security and ensure that there are no data leaks or interceptions in information between sending and receipt. Sending emails through the standard attachment method can create a wealth of problems for organizations including;
• Security issues and the threat of data loss or theft, reducing the integrity of your business and decreasing trust
• Large attachments can cause servers to slow down, creating a backlog and reduce operational efficiency
• Businesses regularly sending and receiving large attachments will incur increased costs because they will require additional storage
• Increased maintenance costs on servers and systems due to reduced system performance
