Overview
MOVEit (by Progress Software) is a managed file transfer (MFT) product family covering MOVEit Transfer (on-premises MFT server), MOVEit Cloud (MFT-as-a-service), and MOVEit Automation (workflow automation connecting cloud storage, SFTP/FTP endpoints, and enterprise systems). It's built for organizations that must move sensitive data securely and demonstrate compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. MOVEit was the subject of a widely reported 2023 SQL-injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) exploited by the Cl0p ransomware group, which affected thousands of organizations using the on-prem product.
The problem Progress MOVEit solves
Enterprises that must move sensitive files between partners and internal systems while proving compliance with frameworks like HIPAA and PCI-DSS often can't rely on ad hoc FTP scripts or consumer file-sharing tools. MOVEit solves this with a managed, automatable file-transfer platform deployable on-prem, in Azure, or as a hosted cloud service, though its highly publicized 2023 security incident is a real factor prospective buyers weigh against its enterprise feature set.
