Refining Password Policies within IBM's Sterling Integrator for Enhanced Managed File Transfer Security

Abstract

Robust password policies are crucial for securing Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems. IBM's Sterling Integrator, a leading platform in MFT, necessitates stringent password protocols to mitigate cyber threats. This paper proposes an enhanced password policy framework for Sterling Integrator, focusing on balancing security requirements with user experience. By integrating advanced authentication mechanisms and leveraging user psychology, we aim to fortify MFT security without compromising usability.
