Challenges of secure file transfer in collaborative research

To support effective collaboration, researchers require efficient and secure methods to share data especially large data sets. However,  when sharing sensitive or confidential data, security is critical, requiring encryption and careful management of permissions to protect data both in transit and at rest. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that data reaches the right person. 

To address some of these challenges, the NREN community has come together to develop and leverage purpose built solutions for the academic research sector using open source software solutions such as FileSender and Globus.
