TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

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).

Security considerations

Automated Sanitization

: Removes "document properties" (like the author’s name or internal server paths) from files before they leave the organization to prevent reconnaissance by bad actors.

The true innovation of Clearswift FileCatalyst lies not in either component alone, but in their seamless integration. Consider a defense contractor transferring satellite imagery from a forward operating base to a central analysis center. FileCatalyst ensures the multi-gigabyte files traverse a poor satellite link at maximum speed. Simultaneously, Clearswift’s DCI scans each image metadata for embedded geolocation coordinates that might reveal sensitive patrol routes—and redacts them automatically before writing the file to the central repository. This happens without user intervention, without staging files on an intermediate insecure server, and without breaking the transfer session. Typical Use Cases Solution Benefit Media & Entertainment

This is the flagship security feature. Instead of simply detecting malware (which fails against zero-day threats), CDR deconstructs the file into its basic components, removes all potentially malicious objects, and rebuilds a "clean" version of the file. This happens in milliseconds and is fully compatible with the speed of FileCatalyst.
