What's Wrong with Email, FTP, File Sharing and Other Traditional Methods?
It's 2026 and in the era of massive data breaches and high profit identify theft, sensitive data should never be sent via email, FTP, or common file sharing services. These methods do not protect sensitive data. None of these methods offer guaranteed end-to-end encryption, they all generate multiple copies of each file in numerous locations, and few services provide a comprehensive audit trail showing who accessed the data.
Email Is Not Safe
When you send a file via email, that file is typically copied more than 15 times; in your outbox, on your email server, on your recipient's email server, in your recipient's inbox, and on every single backup server at each stage. None of those copies are encrypted, and none of them are ever permanently deleted. That's simply not safe for sensitive data.
File Sharing Services and FTP Are Not for Sensitive Data
File sharing services and FTP were not designed for sensitive data. They lack the end-to-end encryption, access controls, audit trails, and automatic file expiration that are required when handling sensitive documents. Using these tools for confidential information puts your organization and your clients at risk.
