4 About Axway Integration B2B Security MFT 11,000 customers
Company 11,000 customers 1,600 employees HQ in Phoenix, AZ USA Offices in 20+ countries Industry-leading technology in Managed File Transfer (MFT) B2B and Integration and Identity Security Integration B2B Security MFT | © 2011 Axway | All rights reserved.

5 Gartner: Outlook On MFT / B2B
Recommendations Governance for midsize to large MFT deployments. Look for a combination of proprietary & open source… Point solutions when speed of deployment is key. - standards, policies, architectures, consider strategic….

7 The File Transfer Challenge
Complex data routing requirements Decentralized administration and maintenance Constantly modifying script (adds/changes/deletes) Resource intensive to add applications and user interfaces | © 2011 Axway | All rights reserved.

8 FTP Across the Enterprise
Internet FTP Clients Scripts FTP Server FTP Clients Scripts Remote Internal Locations (Store to Corporate) Problems: Compliance & audit concerns Data “black holes” Limited reporting Change management issues No centralized control No centralized visibility Process breakdowns Administrative burdens Batch orientation Security Encryption Authentication Data at rest External to Enterprise (Supply Chain) Internal to Enterprise (Shared Applications) FTP Server Internal Gateways (Business Units) FTP Server FTP Clients Scripts | © 2011 Axway | All rights reserved.

9 Application Integration Pattern
Internal File Movement Between Systems Peer-to-Peer / File Bus Hub and Spoke Automated and Process Driven Centralized Governance Multi-Platform Considerations Do you have visibility to the data? (i.e., more than system monitoring) Are your internal systems secured? (at a minimum  no FTP) BT “Exact Project” – Telco– Transfer – File Bus implementation – nodes Fed Reserve – Government – ST - Application Integration Hub ING internal exchange project - Bank - Transfer CFT nodes on multiple OS (Z/Os, Unix, Windows, Non Stop Kernel, Os400) SFR - Telco - Transfer CFT nodes + XFB Gateway EDF - Energy - Transfer CFT (Hundreds installation - references should be found)

10 Multi-Site Integration Pattern
File movement between systems across sites (hub/spoke or peer to peer) Centralized governance and site management Automated and process driven Broadcast/Collect Multi-platform considerations Publix – Grocery/Retail – Transfer – Corporate to store use case. SFD - Telco/Retail - Transfer CFT + Gateway + Sentinel - Corporate to store and aggregating data from store Carrefour - Retail - XFB Gateway as Hub file platform (more than 1 million transfer per day) Total - Oil provider - Energie - Transfer InterPel + Gateway - Exchanges between Corporate and Subsisdiaries Deploy and manage multiple connections (efficiently) Automate, Automate, Automate

11 Move Files Internally with Control and Visibility

12 Business to Business (B2B) Pattern
Connecting with other organizations Standards driven Context aware Community and partner lifecycle management are essential Automated and process driven Flexible security Often requires data services Validation Transformation Routing Are your current tools able to address your needs? Do you have the business involved to help manage your trading community? Wells Fargo – Wholesale Banking – Gateway XFB– “Shared Transmissions Platform” (note also using Transfer for A2A) Vanguard – Fin Svcs – Gateway Interchange – Fidelity – fin Svcs – Gateway Interchange – “ Shared Data Transmissions Platform) Jabil – High Tech – Interchange – EDI use case. Kraft – CPG – Interchange – EDI use case BNP Paribas - Banking "BNP Sphere" project - Gateway XFB (Swift Fin + Interact + Fileact) Schenker - Logistic - XFB Gateway + XIB + Passport + Sentinel (Success storie available on Intraxway) Total - Oil provider - Energie - Gateway - Exchanges with providers Nestlé - Foods - Gateway Interchange - EDI exchange with their partners (AS2)

14 Portal File Services Pattern
Connecting the human web experience and MFT Web portal exposing a business service User access and management (LDAP/AD, SSO, On-boarding) Transparent integration with end user workflow and backend systems More than ease of use (secure and efficient file exchange beyond the portal) Seamless and complete integration (no hops, batching, or queuing) Canadian Institute for Health and Information(CIHI). CA –   – ST - Support Related, integrated with support portal. (single sign on to ST web client) NetApp –   – ST - ?? uploading dump files, distribute to back end =- PROSPECT RIM – CPG – ST - ?? NAMSA - Logistic for NATO - Secure Transport is using as a portal for RFP answers Toyota Europe - Car Manufacturer - XFB Gateway (HTTPS) + Endpoint Workstation - File Portal with small providers

15 Human to System via Portal

16 Ad-Hoc File Transfer Pattern
Unplanned processes between humans Two models Repository based (persistence for sharing) Recipient based (targeted to individual or group) User access and management LDAP/AD SSO On-boarding Policy based control of file access and transfer Airbus – manufacturing– ST – Sharing design documents (repository based ad-hoc) IBM – Software – ST – Customer Support Portal for Log files (repository based ad-hoc) Intel – High Tech – ST -  Uses ST in M&A department to share documents between them and company being acquired or divested. Requirement was highly controlled and highly audited. Can you audit and govern H2S/H2H exchange? (managing the humans is a must!) Define security up front and stand your ground

17 H2H Recipient Mode Transfers
Mail Server (e.g. MS Exchange) Send body with links to attachments Receive body with links to attachments Axway File Transfer Direct Server Sender ( /Web client) Recipient OK PURL Upload attachments Automatically download attachments As simple as a mail File Virus Policy ICAP Connector Attachment checked Settings & Alerts System / Community Admin As secure as MFT © 2011 Axway - Confidential and proprietary.

18 H2H Repository Mode Transfers

19 File Transfer Patterns
1. Application Integration 2. Multi-Site Integration 3. B2B 4. Portal File Transfers 5. Ad hoc & Systems Security / Visibility / Governance Automated Humans Application Integration Replace FTP Extensive Platform Support Non-Intrusive to Applications Integration with scheduling Multi-Site Integration Application Integration + Governance and Configuration management by groups (east coast stores, west coast, etc) Deployment and on boarding efficiency No/low touch at site level B2B Trading Partner Management tailored for a business analyst and to B2B nomenclature B2B content based contextual Routing, Visibility and configuration Extensive Business Protocol Support, Traditional File Transfer Protocol Support and Industry specialization Paves a path to B2Bi consolidation Portal File Transfers Seamless Integration with portal / browser user experience Single sign on and LDAP integration Often the gateway becomes invisible to the user Ad Hoc Ad – Hoc Repository Based Zero footprint client LDAP Integration for group rights / permissions Ad – Hoc Recipient Based Match the users user experience – Enforce Policy for transmissions Interactive

21 Managing Your File Transfer Patterns
Scope out growth and complexity of data framework Define and prioritize critical ‘exchange relationships’ S2S, B2B, A2A, P2P, B2P, B2C, etc. Quantify and qualify data content relationships Outline support for business types, groups, or departments Update compliance to standards and regulations Account for risk factors Consider both external and internal security event paths Identify the risk types (data loss, intellectual property theft, data privacy breach, compliance violations, etc.) Set realistic coverage objectives What level? How comprehensive or complex? © 2009 Axway - Confidential and proprietary. All rights reserved.

22 Review Your Current State
Internal Network Unix Public Cloud Applications Applications Mainframe New Application External to the Enterprise Files too large to process Other Information Broker Internal File Routing Parse and Transform Files Applications Support Multiple Formats Very difficult to know: - what is connected to what - which files go where or why - how to fix things when they break - how to assess changes Windows Applications | © 2011 Axway | All rights reserved. 22
