Reflection for Secure IT Gateway > A Sample Evaluation Scenario > Meet Don

Meet Don

Don is in charge of evaluating Reflection Gateway for a growing financial services firm. Because secure encryption and authentication are built into every Reflection Gateway transfer, it is the ideal solution for ensuring the security of information exchanged with customers. The company requirements include the following:

  • Don is looking for a secure method for analysts to use to distribute regular reports to customers.

    Reflection Gateway will be used to automate this process. Once the system is in place, all an analyst will need to do is drop a file into a specified folder on a server running in the internal network. Automated Reflection Gateway Jobs will handle the rest. Reflection Gateway’s centralized management will make it easy for Don to add new employees to the system, and delegated administration will enable these employees to add new customers.

  • Every document leaving the company network must first be scanned to ensure that outgoing content meets all security requirements of the company.

    The company has a working application that does this scanning, but the system is currently managed using scripts running on an increasing number of servers. Reflection Gateway will enable Don to set up centralized management of this process. This will simplify the process of updating scripts and adding new servers.

  • To ensure the security of the company servers, analysts with access to the Reflection Gateway administrative tool should have limited rights.

    Reflection Gateway provides group configuration options to limit which administrative tasks users can perform and which servers they have access to.

  • The company requires a complete audit log with of record of all transfer activity on the Transfer Site server.
