This is the acceleration engine. It uses a proprietary UDP-based protocol with built-in forward error correction (FEC). It dynamically adapts to network conditions, ensuring that even with 50% packet loss, the entire file arrives intact without retransmission delays.
: A security layer that uses the ICAP protocol to perform deep content inspection on files as they are being transferred. Key Features & Benefits Fortra's Clearswift | Email DLP & Security Solutions
The combination remains vital for :
: Used for point-to-point accelerated transfers, specifically designed to overcome high latency and packet loss.
It unzips and decrypts multiple layers of compressed files to ensure no hidden threats bypass the perimeter. The Clearswift-FileCatalyst Integration: How It Works clearswift filecatalyst
In the digital era, the ability to transfer large files quickly is a business necessity, but it brings significant security risks. Large data transfers are often targeted by cybercriminals, and the sheer volume of data makes thorough inspection difficult, leading many organizations to choose between speed and security.
While FileCatalyst handles the mechanics of high-speed transport, Clearswift provides the intelligence and security fabric. Clearswift’s Secure Gateway technology goes far beyond traditional data protection by utilizing Adaptive Data Loss Prevention (A-DLP).

Enterprises have been gaslit into believing that security must be slow. The "Clearswift FileCatalyst" architecture proves that thesis wrong.
This is the flagship security feature. Instead of simply detecting malware (which fails against zero-day threats), CDR deconstructs the file into its basic components, removes all potentially malicious objects, and rebuilds a "clean" version of the file. This happens in milliseconds and is fully compatible with the speed of FileCatalyst. : A security layer that uses the ICAP
Before the FileCatalyst Server commits the file to final storage or allows a recipient to download it, it routes the file to the Clearswift Secure ICAP Gateway.
