Attack Surface
Single memory-safe binaryNo Java, no web admin, no plugins. One process per node, written in a memory-safe language. The class of bugs that produced MOVEit, GoAnywhere, and Accellion is not architecturally possible.
PumaMesh vs. Legacy MFT
Legacy Managed File Transfer is too fragmented for modern data movement.
PumaMesh gives buyers a simpler replacement story: one platform to protect, understand, move, and accelerate important data across partners, cloud, edge, AI, and regulated environments.
The technical proof is still here, but the first question is simpler: can your transfer platform keep data secure, governed, fast, and understandable without adding more tools?
Replacement fewer tools, one movement platform
Coverage Windows and Linux
Encryption wolfSSL inflight and at rest encryption
Speed 25.8 Gbps benchmark proof
Side By Side
What buyers usually discover during replacement.
The decision is no longer just "can it transfer a file?" Buyers compare operating simplicity, security, policy, speed, and proof across the whole data path.
Criterion
Legacy MFT stacks
PumaMesh
Memory safety
Java runtime + web admin surface. The class of bugs that produced the 2023 MFT zero-days is intrinsic to the architecture.
Memory-safe single binary. No Java, no plugins, no legacy web admin. SBOM + signed reproducible builds.
Post-quantum crypto
On the roadmap. Retrofits assume a migration project the enterprise still has to plan, test, and fund.
100% post-quantum in flight today. ML-KEM-1024, ML-DSA-87, TLS 1.3 X25519MLKEM1024 over QUIC. CNSA 2.0 aligned.
Policy granularity
Per-connection, per-pipe, per-user group. Policy sits on the transfer channel, not the file.
ABAC on the object itself. Up to 10,000 Ed25519-signed attributes per file, re-evaluated within 300 seconds with fail-closed revocation.
Windows + Linux coverage
Server-to-server Linux appliances, or Windows-centric enterprise file-share. Rarely both with equal native depth.
Native agents on both, identical policy surface and audit chain. The only platform that spans laptop to GPU cluster.
Modern workload fit
Limited support for modern movement patterns. AI flows, software artifacts, partner exchange, and governed cross-boundary transfers usually require separate tooling and policy surfaces.
Built for regulated files, software artifacts, partner exchange, and AI payloads on one fabric. Policy follows data into transfers, retrieval, tool-calls, and evidence workflows without a separate governance stack.
Tool sprawl
MFT + KMS + DSPM + acceleration + eDiscovery — five vendors, five audit chains, five integration seams.
One binary replaces the stack. Evidence is a byproduct, not an after-the-fact reconciliation.
Throughput
Parallel TCP plateaus (2–4 Gbps on 25 Gbps links). Proprietary UDP accelerators are a separate SKU.
25.8 Gbps sustained across 135 ms RTT. 220× SCP, 230× rsync, 11.5× S3 multipart. No separate accelerator.
Compliance coverage
Partial CMMC mapping with organizational gaps. FedRAMP readiness varies by SKU. Post-quantum controls absent.
CMMC v1, v2, and v3 — all 110 controls met for data sharing. FedRAMP-aligned (80+ 800-53 Rev 5). wolfSSL 5.9.1 in the cryptographic stack. CNSA 2.0. Plus EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001.
Pricing model
Per-GB, per-connection, per-user. Costs scale unpredictably with data volume.
Node-based. Move as much data as you need. Predictable cost as volume grows.
Why "patching" isn't enough
The architecture is the vulnerability
The 2023–2024 wave of MFT zero-days was not a string of unlucky bugs — it was an inevitable consequence of putting a Java runtime, a web admin console, and a TCP-era transport at the center of enterprise data movement. Patches ship. The architecture stays the same. PumaMesh is what you build when you rebuild from zero.
Supply Chain
SBOM + reproducible buildsEvery release ships with a signed SBOM and reproducible build artifacts. CISOs answer "what's running" without asking the vendor.
Transport
QUIC with post-quantum key exchangeChosen for the post-quantum era from day one — not a retrofit. See the Mesh →
Policy
ABAC bound to the objectAttributes are Ed25519-signed and travel with the file. A compromised relay cannot strip policy — the recipient re-evaluates against its own user attributes before delivery.
Migration
Replace the stack without replacing the workflow
PumaMesh slots in behind the applications and users you already have. Transparent encryption, identity-bound transport, and ABAC run underneath — the people using the data don't need to change how they work.
1 · Drop in
Deploy agents alongside existing MFTNative Windows and Linux agents run in parallel with your incumbent. No workflow change, no SDK integration. Agents classify, encrypt, and audit in place from day one.
2 · Cut over
Shift transfers one flow at a timeMove M2M pipelines first, then M2P reporting, then P2P partner exchange. Each cutover produces its own audit chain — regulators see the improvement immediately.
3 · Decommission
Retire the Java appliance and the DSPM contractOnce flows land on PumaMesh, the legacy MFT and separate DSPM tool become optional. One vendor, one audit chain, one post-quantum control surface.
