MOVEit alternative
A MOVEit alternative with no permanent credentials to steal
MnemoShare is a secure file-transfer and data-sharing platform built on identity-bound, ephemeral credentials — the exact attack surface that legacy MFT can't remove. And you can migrate off MOVEit incrementally — phased and AI-assisted, with no rip-and-replace cutover.
HIPAA BAA included on every plan · No long-term contract
Why teams are leaving MOVEit
In May 2023, the Cl0p ransomware group exploited an unauthenticated SQL-injection zero-day in MOVEit Transfer (CVE-2023-34362, CVSS 9.8 (Critical)). Breach trackers have attributed the campaign to more than 2,700 organizations and an estimated 90+ million people.
What turned a single vulnerability into a mass breach was standing access: traditional MFT keeps long-lived credentials and always-on service accounts, so once attackers were in, there was little limit on the files they could reach.

The pattern
Different exploits — but each hit a system holding standing access to vast stores of sensitive data.
- MOVEit (2023) — a SQL-injection zero-day; attackers reached the database and exfiltrated files
- GoAnywhere (2023) — a pre-authentication remote-code-execution flaw, no login required
- Accellion FTA (2021) — zero-day flaws in an end-of-life appliance
- Change Healthcare (2024) — stolen remote-access credentials with no MFA
MnemoShare issues no permanent credentials and no standing access — so a single exploit can't hand over the keys.
Security that can't be stolen, by design
You can't steal a credential that doesn't persist. MnemoShare authenticates against tamper-resistant hardware and issues a fresh key for every session — so there's nothing standing for an attacker to phish, copy, or extract.
Ephemeral, hardware-bound identity
Short-lived keys tied to TPM 2.0, Secure Enclave, or YubiKey. Keys never leave the hardware. FIPS 140-3.
Zero standing access
No permanent passwords, stored API keys, or service accounts — the exact things breached in 2023.
App-layer encryption + DLP
AES-256-GCM with a 3-tier DLP engine that auto-detects PHI/PII before anything leaves the device.
MnemoShare vs. legacy MFT
| MnemoShare | Legacy MFT (incl. MOVEit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Credential model | Ephemeral, hardware-bound identity. Fresh short-lived key per session; zero standing credentials to steal. | Permanent service accounts, stored API keys, static admin passwords — the credentials exploited in the 2023 MOVEit breach. |
| Encryption | AES-256-GCM at the app layer; expiring links bound to the recipient's verified device. | Transport + at-rest encryption, but access still gated by long-lived, copyable credentials. |
| Migration / onboarding | AI-assisted migration of data, credentials, workflows, and settings — move incrementally, at your own pace. | Typically weeks of professional services and manual reconfiguration. |
| Deployment | No infrastructure to host, patch, or harden. | On-prem or cloud installs you must host, patch, and harden yourself. |
| Compliance & audit | HIPAA BAA included, HITRUST, FIPS 140-3, SEC 17a-4; one immutable, SIEM-ready audit trail. | Available, but typically configured and managed separately across the stack. |
| Data loss prevention | Built-in 3-tier DLP (pattern + NER + AI) with automatic PHI/PII detection. | Usually an add-on or separate tooling. |
| In-product help for users | Built-in AI assistant answers end-user questions inside the product. | Not offered — admins field setup and how-to questions. |
Comparison reflects MnemoShare's stated capabilities and publicly documented facts about the 2023 MOVEit Transfer breach (CVE-2023-34362). “Legacy MFT” describes the permanent-credential architecture common to incumbent tools.
Migrate incrementally, not all at once
Migration is the reason most teams stay stuck on a tool they've outgrown. MnemoShare's AI-assisted migration moves your data, credentials, workflows, and settings incrementally, at your own pace — so leaving MOVEitdoesn't mean a risky all-at-once cutover.
- Data, credentials, workflows, and settings move automatically
- Move workloads over in phases, not all at once
- No infrastructure to host, patch, or harden
- Your audit trail starts clean on one immutable log
MOVEit alternative FAQ
Is MnemoShare a real MOVEit alternative?
Yes. MnemoShare covers the core MOVEit use case — moving sensitive files securely with full audit trails and compliance support — and goes further as a data-sharing platform (secure forms, one-time secrets, e-signature, and workflows in one product). The architectural difference is that MnemoShare issues no permanent credentials and no standing access, so a single exploited flaw — like the SQL-injection bug behind the 2023 MOVEit breach — has far less to reach.
How does migrating off MOVEit work?
MnemoShare's AI-assisted migration moves your data, credentials, workflows, and settings incrementally, at your own pace, rather than a weeks-long, all-at-once cutover.
Is MnemoShare HIPAA compliant?
MnemoShare is built for regulated data and includes a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) at no extra cost, with immutable audit logs and automatic PHI/PII detection. The platform also supports HITRUST, FIPS 140-3, and SEC 17a-4 requirements.
What actually happened in the MOVEit breach?
In May 2023, the Cl0p ransomware group exploited an unauthenticated SQL-injection zero-day (CVE-2023-34362, CVSS 9.8) in Progress Software's MOVEit Transfer. Breach trackers have since attributed the campaign to more than 2,700 organizations and an estimated 90+ million people. The common thread across major MFT breaches isn't a single exploit — it's that one flaw exposes a system holding broad, standing access to sensitive data. Ephemeral, identity-bound architecture shrinks that standing access, and with it the blast radius.
How is MnemoShare priced?
MnemoShare has transparent, published pricing across several tiers, all with a HIPAA BAA included and no long-term contract. Current per-tier rates are listed on the SaaS pricing page.
