✅ 4.5 / 5 – excellent.
✅ If your data security posture problem is “unmanaged file transfers (FTP, email, USB drives)” – Globalscape is a massive improvement. It gives you visibility and control over a high-risk data channel that most DSPM tools ignore. Critical Gaps vs. True DSPM (e.g., Varonis, Cyera, Normalyze, Dig) | DSPM Capability | Globalscape EFT | |----------------|------------------| | Discover unknown cloud data (S3, GCS, Azure Blob, Snowflake) | ❌ No – only files on its own server or mounted shares. | | Map data flows across SaaS apps (Salesforce, Box, Teams) | ❌ No – only MFT flows. | | Classify structured data (database columns, JSON, Parquet) | ❌ No – only file/folder name + optional content scan for text-based files. | | Identify over-permissioned identities (in AWS IAM, GCP, Entra ID) | ❌ No – only local EFT user permissions. | | Remediate cloud misconfigurations (public buckets, open ports) | ❌ No – only EFT server config. | | Detect sensitive data moving to LLMs / AI tools | ❌ No. | globalscape data security posture management
| Feature | DSPM Relevance | |--------|----------------| | (PCI, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR) | ✔️ Know exactly who transferred what, when, and where. | | Data-at-rest encryption (AES-256) & key management | ✔️ Protects files stored on the MFT server. | | DMZ proxy / reverse proxy | ✔️ Reduces attack surface – no direct inbound ports to internal storage. | | Content inspection & DLP filters | ✔️ Can block SSNs, credit cards, or custom regex patterns during transfer . | | Automated expiration & deletion | ✔️ Prevents data retention sprawl. | | Role-based access + MFA | ✔️ Reduces standing privilege risks. | Critical Gaps vs
