Security and privacy are two hot topics that aren’t going anywhere in the near future. As cybercrime continues to rise and more information is stored online, both businesses and people alike are always on the lookout for better ways to protect themselves and their interests.
At QQSolutions, our goal is to provide a safe and secure agency management system that not only benefits our clients and their customers, but also provides them with peace of mind. Today we’ll take a look at how our cloud-based approach provides additional layers of security.
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Online Security
A cloud-based AMS like QQCatalyst doesn’t store any information on your company’s computers or mobile devices. Instead, the entire program is hosted on remote servers which make up a larger data center. Collectively, these data centers are referred to as the “cloud.” Information and data is stored here and transmitted to you as needed.
This remote access ensures that the program is stored in a secure facility. QQCatalyst itself is stored in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. This Tier-IV data center is monitored by physical and cyber security every day, week, and month of the year.
Here are just some of the security features that the Azure Cloud offers:
- Multi-factor authentication for sign-ins – Sign-in requires multiple forms of authentication such as mobile verification and online sign-in to ensure security.
- Encrypted communications and operation processes – Encryptions like these make security incredibly difficult to penetrate.
- Isolated virtual networks – Each network has its own security protocols and monitoring.
- Consistent penetration and security tests – Microsoft runs tests of their own to check security on a consistent basis.
This is only the first step in our security. We are also committed to protecting our clients and their customer’s personal information. As part of this, we keep all of this information stored on a separate cloud provided by Amazon Web Services. By storing the AMS and the customer information on separate clouds, we ensure an unparalleled amount of security for our clients.
The security offered by Amazon Web Services is just as robust as the security employed in the Azure Cloud. Here are some of the features that make it stand out:
- Remote Access – No need to worry about security on site. Once information is transferred, the cloud’s security takes over.
- Multiple Firewalls – Instead of just one firewall to protect your data, the cloud offers multiple firewalls for each virtual server, known as security groups.
- DDoS Protection – The cloud is designed to resist large amounts of traffic as a whole. This allows your data to be safe against DDoS attacks.
Security and Peace of Mind in the Cloud
Storing all of your data in one place and trying to monitor it can be a daunting task. It’s also an expensive effort. Instead, choose an agency management system that exists in the cloud and stores personal data on an entirely separate set of servers. This kind of security and peace of mind is crucial in today’s modern world.
