Securing Faspex

This section covers important security practices for your Faspex application.

Aspera security considerations

Faspex file transfers do not include anti-virus and malware scanning before or after the transfer. If your business security requirements include anti-virus and anti-malware scanning, you must implement a separate process for the scan before you transfer files using Faspex.

If your business security requirements include restrictions for uploads and transfers by file extension type, you must create your own policies in the High Speed Transfer Server aspera.conf file. See the aspera.conf - Filters to include and exclude files section for instructions.
