IBM Aspera: About IBM Aspera takes a different approach to tackling the challenges of big data movement over global WANs. Rather than optimize or accelerate data transfer, eliminates underlying bottlenecks by using its proprietary fasp technology that utilizes available network bandwidth to maximize speed and quickly scale up with no theoretical limit. Using fasp, transfers are secure end-to-end and are largely unaffected by file size, transfer distance, or network conditions, making transfer times up to 100Xs faster than TCP-based protocols. Aspera offers SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid solutions to meet the needs of modernizing infrastructures. All solutions offer robust security and compliance, intuitive file sharing, workflow automation, central administration, and real-time visibility. Quickly and easily initiate transfers across hybrid infrastructures, including support for cloud-to-cloud transfers. IBM Aspera offers unmatched transfer speeds, end-to-end security, reliability, and bandwidth control.	Kiteworks: About The only security platform authorized by FedRAMP that provides support for file sharing, managed file transfer, and email data communications to meet the compliance requirements of standards such as CMMC 2.0, ITAR, IRAP, NIS 2, HIPAA, and others. A content communication “tool soup” ratchets up cost and resource inefficiencies. Managing zero-trust security policies centrally is virtually impossible, and organizations lack consolidated security and compliance visibility over the communications of sensitive content, which increases security and compliance risks. Compliance and security risks increase due to the lack of governance. Organizations must control and track who can access content, who can edit it, to whom it can be sent and shared, and where it is sent and shared. Cybercriminals and malicious insiders target sensitive content like PII, IP, financial documents, and PHI because it can be monetized or even weaponized.
