Introducing ShareFile Enterprise: Scale Collaboration, Not Security Work

Cybersecurity conversations tend to focus on what happens inside the organization. But some of your most sensitive information is moving outside it to clients, partners, vendors and other third parties every day.

As organizations grow, external collaboration grows with them. The more employees are involved, the more sensitive information is exchanged and the more people need the right access at the right time.

The challenge is that the controls around that collaboration don’t always scale as easily as the collaboration itself.

What starts as a manageable process can quickly create more work behind the scenes. IT has more access changes to manage. Security teams have more activity to monitor. Employees have more decisions to make about sensitive information. And when something needs investigating, teams may have to piece together information across multiple systems.

That’s why we’re introducing Progress® ShareFile® Enterprise, a new plan built for larger, regulated organizations that need enhanced security, visibility and governance around sensitive document collaboration without making it harder to get work done.

When Collaboration Scales, Complexity Follows

Strain can start well before an organization recognizes it as a security problem.

Our recent research shows how quickly operational complexity can build as the volume of work increases. Among the 355 organizations surveyed:

• 83% said growing client volume increased operational strain.
• 82% said permissions and access significantly strained their organization.
• Client-facing employees spent an average of 20.3 hours each week on coordination work.
• Coordination work represented a median annual cost of more than $60,000 per organization.

The findings around permissions and access are especially important when you consider collaboration at enterprise scale.

As the volume of work increases, so does the activity surrounding it. More employees join, change roles and leave; more external stakeholders exchange sensitive information; and IT and security teams have more activity to manage.

That can mean more:

• Access changes and provisioning requests
• Sensitive information shared externally
• Security activity to monitor and investigate
• Policies to apply consistently
• Evidence to gather for audit or compliance questions

Processes that work at a smaller scale—manual provisioning, one-off permission changes, separate log exports, policy reminders and individual reviews—can become much harder to sustain as that activity grows.

The challenge isn’t just protecting information. It’s maintaining visibility and control across the full external engagement as that work scales.

Stronger Control Across Sensitive Collaboration

ShareFile Enterprise brings stronger security, governance and visibility to external collaboration while fitting into the IT and security environments organizations already use.

Capabilities across identity, monitoring, data protection, behavioral visibility and investigation help IT and security teams apply more consistent control as collaboration grows.

Bring ShareFile Software into the SOC

Security teams already have established tools and processes for monitoring activity. ShareFile security information shouldn’t have to sit outside of them.

SIEM integration with providers such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk enables supported ShareFile security activity to be routed to existing SOC monitoring tools. That provides additional ShareFile context where security teams already work and can reduce dependence on manual log exports or custom integrations.

Put Policy Behind Sensitive Data

Sensitive-data policies can be applied more consistently when they don’t rely entirely on every employee recognizing sensitive information and remembering what action to take.

With Native Data Loss Prevention (DLP) (available as of October 1, 2026), ShareFile software can detect supported sensitive text-based content and give administrators policy options to:

• Alert on supported sensitive content
• Restrict external sharing
• Prevent downloads when defined policies apply

That helps organizations move beyond reminders alone and toward more consistent policy enforcement for supported content.

Surface Unusual Activity Sooner

Not every unusual action indicates malicious activity, but changes in behavior can provide useful context for security teams.

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) (available as of October 1, 2026) analyzes activity patterns and can surface signals such as abnormal download volumes, off-hours usage or atypical access behavior. That helps teams identify activity worth reviewing sooner without depending entirely on manual review of activity logs.

This isn’t about assuming unusual means malicious. It’s about giving security teams more context to help determine what deserves a closer look.

Move from Alert to Investigation with More Context

An alert is only the beginning. Teams still need enough context to understand what happened and decide what deserves further investigation.

The ShareFile Security Center (available as of October 1, 2026) provides a centralized security operations experience that brings supported alerts, user and activity context, and investigation paths together in one place. This can help shorten the path from identifying a signal to understanding the surrounding activity and determining the appropriate next step.

Together, these capabilities create a stronger control layer around sensitive collaboration—and give ShareFile Enterprise a foundation to continue evolving as enterprise needs change.
