The Challenge
The Motley Fool is a multimedia financial-services company dedicated to building the world's greatest investment community. Business Situation: The company wanted an enterprise file transfer solution that could meet high level security guidelines and reduce manual transactions. Solution: The Motley Fool is using Thru API to automate and secure file transfers in an existing application. Benefits: Reduced time-consuming manual file transfers Compliant with OWASP and NIST security guidelines Maximized value of an existing application Ensured customer information is transferred and stored safely
Safeguarding data is essential for financial services companies that regularly exchange personally identifiable information over the web. When evaluating different file transfer solutions, financial organizations must hold vendors to rigorous industry standards to ensure that customer and partner data is protected with the highest level of security. Not only is security a key consideration when examining a file transfer solution, but it must have the capability to quickly and efficiently manage thousands of files that organizations share internally and externally. For multimedia financial services company, The Motley Fool, its IT department wanted a file transfer system that could meet the security standards of OWASP and NIST, and also reduce time-consuming manual file transfers with automation functionality. “We were looking for someone to partner with that could provide managed file services and ensure end-to-end security of any kind of confidential files we may have…we needed to attain the highest level of security as possible,” commented Sam Davidson, Team Lead of Infrastructure Design at The Motley Fool.
The Solution After trying out other services that couldn’t provide the automation capability it needed, The Motley Fool selected Thru as its secure file sharing platform for its ability to automate file transfer processes involving business

relevant and customer information. Using Thru API, Motley Fool supplemented an existing system with the following enterprise-grade features:
Automate and manage file transfers from a single point of control
Reliably and securely deliver data across applications
Protect sensitive content with encryption and antivirus scanning
Guaranteed global delivery without file size limitations
“Thru was able to meet our needs by giving us a platform that we could automate at a reasonable price and offered the highest level of security,” said Mr. Sam Davidson. From beginning to full implementation, The Motley Fool had a Thru representative to help every step of the way who answered all technical questions and met needs promptly. After deployment was completed, employees were quickly trained with little to no learning curve and were using it within minutes.
The Results Since The Motley Fool integrated Thru with its existing infrastructure, file transfer processes that were formerly time-consuming can now be performed instantly and with increased security. Instead of an employee manually performing multiple file transfers, the company has streamlined its file transfer processes and experiences the following benefits:
Significant time savings as a result of file transfer automation
Compliance with OWASP and NIST security standards by Thru’s built-in security features
Minimal training of employees because of an intuitive user experience
Business relevant and customer information stays secure in transit and at rest
Supplemented existing IT infrastructure at a reasonable price
