MINNEAPOLIS - TelAve -- Software Diversified Services (SDS), a global leader in mainframe security software, today announced the general availability of VitalSigns for Secure Transfer (VST), a breakthrough security solution that automatically secures outbound FTP sessions without requiring any batch JCL modifications or business logic changes.

VST addresses a critical pain point facing IT leaders across retail, government, healthcare, and financial services organizations: meeting increasingly stringent regulatory compliance requirements while maintaining operational continuity. The solution leverages advanced SOCKS proxy technology to seamlessly convert FTP to SFTP, providing enterprise-grade encryption and authentication without disrupting existing mainframe workflows

Solving the Compliance-Operations Dilemma

With regulatory frameworks such as SOX, GDPR, GLBA, PCI DSS, and HIPAA mandating secure file transfer protocols, organizations have faced a difficult choice: invest significant time and resources in overhauling established business processes or risk non-compliance. VST eliminates this dilemma by providing "drop-in security" that works transparently with existing FTP operations.
