Department of Defense Secure Access File Exchange Modernization

The Department of Defense (DoD) is modernizing its Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) system, which is a secure file transfer platform used by authorized users, including Common Access Card (CAC) holders and guest users. The current system has limitations in scalability, security, and usability, and the DoD is seeking a solution to address these challenges. The new solution should enhance scalability, strengthen security, improve accessibility, increase file size capacity, and empower user control. The DoD is requesting a white paper with a solution that addresses these challenges and meets the attached technical requirements. • The solution should ensure the platform can handle fluctuating demands automatically. • The solution should implement robust security measures like multi-factor authentication and data loss prevention to protect sensitive information. • The solution should provide secure access options for users outside of the DoD. • The solution should support larger file transfers, ideally reaching 40GB. • The solution should give users the ability to customize data retention policies for their uploads.
