Axway Secure Client 6.4

We are pleased to announce that Secure Client 6.4 is now in General Availability.  This release provides additional platform support, updated security, and increased interoperability. It allows existing customers to continue benefiting from the solution while enabling them to use their platform of choice and ensuring their security is not compromised.

Axway Secure Client 6.4 Overview

It runs as a stand-alone application or as a background task.

A number of our key AMPLIFY™ Managed File Transfer customers require their trading partners to use Secure Client to send and receive files.
