Secure File Transfer with Clearswift and FileCatalyst

UDP-based acceleration:

Overcomes latency to move massive files (GBs to TBs) up to 100x faster than standard FTP.

Broadcasters and production studios regularly move raw footage between continents. Traditional transfers can take days. FileCatalyst reduces this to hours (or minutes), while Clearswift ensures that pre-release content or watermarking metadata is not leaked to unauthorized parties. clearswift filecatalyst

Clearswift FileCatalyst

While Aspera offers similar speed, it lacks native content disarm and reconstruction. For regulated industries, is the only solution that guarantees both speed and safety. Step 1 (The Edge): The FileCatalyst agent encrypts

• Step 1 (The Edge): The FileCatalyst agent encrypts the medical data. It initiates a UDP transfer to the HQ.
• Step 2 (The Gateway): Clearswift rules are configured to intercept FileCatalyst UDP traffic. Because FileCatalyst supports ICAP integration, the gateway acts as a forward proxy.
• Step 3 (Redaction): Clearswift inspects the metadata (not just the payload). If a sensitive patient name is found in the file header, Clearswift redacts it before the FileCatalyst transfer finalizes.
• Step 4 (The Handshake): The two engines agree: FileCatalyst handles the speed; Clearswift handles the policy. No buffering of the full 5TB occurs.
