The integrated solution offers several benefits, including:
If your team moves CAD files, medical images, video, or logs—don’t trade speed for security. clearswift filecatalyst
Banks transferring log files for compliance (PCI-DSS). FileCatalyst moves the logs from branches to central storage. Clearswift scans the logs for pan card numbers (PII) and quarantines any unencrypted data en route. Clearswift scans the logs for pan card numbers
What does a business gain by implementing this solution? TCP is the foundation of the internet, but
| Metric | Without FileCatalyst (TCP only) | With FileCatalyst (UDP) | With Clearswift + FileCatalyst | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 2–3 hours (fails often) | 8–12 minutes | 9–13 minutes (+5% overhead for inspection) | | Security Inspection | 100% buffering required | 0% buffering (streaming) | 10% buffering (metadata only) | | Packet Loss tolerance | 1% loss = 90% speed drop | 10% loss = 80% speed preserved | Same as FileCatalyst |
To understand why Clearswift and FileCatalyst are a match, you must first understand the enemy: . TCP is the foundation of the internet, but it is terrible at high-latency or high-packet-loss environments (e.g., transatlantic links, satellite connections, or rural cellular networks).
For example, if the system detects an active ransomware variant in the wild (via threat intel), it will automatically elevate scanning for incoming .DOCX files to "maximum CDR" mode, even if that adds 1% to transfer time. Conversely, if the network is congested, it will reduce DLP logging to preserve bandwidth for critical transfers.
