SSL Encryption

Encrypted Traffic

SSL encrypts all communication, safeguarding sensitive data and preventing man-in-the-middle attacks.

SSL Certificates

Certificates authenticate our server and establish trust with end-users through HTTPS connections.

How SSL Works

SSL uses a secure handshake protocol to initiate encrypted sessions between clients and servers.

Database Hardening

Step 1: Data Encryption

All sensitive data is encrypted using AES standards.

Step 2: Role-Based Access

Only authorized personnel can access the database using RBAC.

Step 3: Vulnerability Scanning

Regular scans identify weaknesses before exploitation.

Access Control Flow

RBAC and MFA ensure each user has the least privileges necessary, minimizing risks of data breaches.

Access control policies include automated session timeouts, login monitoring, and restrictions based on user roles and locations.

Regular Security Audits

Audit Process:

1

Initial risk assessment

2

Vulnerability scanning using automated tools

3

Compliance reporting and continuous improvement plans
