I have a client who asked me how secure is their Acumatica connection and the company data. Does anyone have some insight into this?
Solved
How secure is the connection and the company data?
Best answer by DavidEichner
It depends on a number of things. Hosted by Acumatica or hosted on your own web server?
Hosted by Acumatica:
- HTTPS encryption provides secure connection just like bank websites
- Access to company data can be made more secure by IP connection restrictions, proper use of security roles, 2FA, password policies, account lockout policies, timeout settings, etc.
Hosted on your own web server:
- Make sure you have SSL certificate and HTTPS only
- Restrict IP connections using AWS or Azure
- Restrict IP connections within Acumatica
- Use 2FA, security roles, 2FA, password policies, account lockout policies, timeout settings, etc.
- AWS snapshots
- Database backups with automated transfers to long term storage like AWS Glacier S3
Best,
David
