From Legacy FTP to Zero Trust: Zapper Edge Launches Enterprise MFT Platform on Microsoft Azure Marketplace

Enterprise file movement has quietly become one of the most fragile layers of modern IT. While organizations invest heavily in securing applications and APIs, critical business operations still rely on legacy FTP and SFTP systems that lack governance, visibility, and auditability—creating growing security and compliance risks.

Zapper Edge today announced the availability of its enterprise Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform on Microsoft Azure Marketplace, addressing this gap with a modern, cloud-native approach to file movement designed for regulated, production-grade environments.

Zapper Edge is high-performance, zero-trust, cloud-native MFT with a strong governance and execution layer for enterprise files, including AI workloads. The platform redefines file transfer as a controlled enterprise surface rather than a background utility.

As enterprises modernize their data ecosystems, file movement remains foundational—powering regulated data exchanges, partner integrations, analytics pipelines, and downstream systems. Yet traditional file transfer tools were never designed to enforce zero trust, data residency, or continuous auditability at scale. Governance is often bolted on, fragmented across tools, or enforced manually—leaving security teams exposed and operations teams overloaded.

Zapper Edge addresses this challenge by embedding governance directly into file execution. The platform enforces policy-based access controls, strong encryption, tenant isolation, and audit-ready logging by default—ensuring every file movement is secured, observable, and compliant from the moment it occurs.

“Enterprise file movement is no longer just about moving data from point A to point B,” said Kirti S, Zapper Edge. “It has become a critical control surface for security, compliance, and continuity. Zapper Edge brings governance and execution together in a way that aligns with how enterprises actually operate in the cloud.”

Available through Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Zapper Edge enables customers to discover, procure, and deploy the platform using existing Azure subscriptions, simplifying procurement and accelerating adoption. The platform integrates natively with Azure services and supports secure connectivity across cloud, on-premises, and partner environments using standard protocols and enterprise APIs.

Zapper Edge is built on six core pillars—performance, zero-operations management, zero-trust security, compliance, scalability, and data residency—allowing organizations to modernize legacy FTP and SFTP infrastructures without sacrificing control or visibility.

Beyond traditional file transfer, Zapper Edge also supports enterprise AI and automation initiatives by allowing organizations to bring compute and AI agents to data, rather than moving sensitive files across environments. This approach minimizes data exposure, preserves regulatory boundaries, and enables governed AI consumption over enterprise files.

The platform supports high-volume transfers, multi-region deployments, and geo-replication for business continuity. Its zero-operations architecture eliminates the need to manage servers, scripts, or credentials—reducing operational burden while improving reliability.

Zapper Edge is offering a three-month free subscription for eligible organizations.
