How to Prepare Your Organization for the Cloud
Gavin Bell, Pinnacle Acumatica Pre-Sales Consultant, provides some advice on how to prepare your organisation for transitioning to the cloud.
Gavin Bell, Acumatica Pre-Sales Consultant, highlights 6 important features that are built into the Acumatica ERP solution that will help protect your organisation’s data.
It seems like every week we are hearing about another data breach or a cyber-attack in the news. Not only are these hacks happening more frequently, but the targets are more high-profile. Major retailers, government entities, and banks have all been victims of nefarious hackers.
Due to these security breaches, many organizations are increasingly wary of migrating their data to a cloud-based ERP system. At Pinnacle, we understand that concern.
That’s why we are an Acumatica Gold-Certified Partner. For decades, Acumatica has been trusted by corporations, banks, healthcare organizations, government offices, and others to store and protect their most sensitive information.
There are 6 important features that are built into the Acumatica ERP solution that will help protect your organisation’s data.
For example, user logins can be limited to specific IP addresses, which means that no one without a recognizable IP address will be able to access the system. It’s a very effective method for keeping out prying eyes.
A variety of password protection measures can be put in place as well. You can decide how often users are prompted to change their passwords. Password complexity requirements can help ensure only difficult-to-crack passwords are chosen. Even one-time password systems can be installed, which means a unique password must be used to gain access at every log-in attempt.
When you move your organization’s data to the cloud, it’s stored in multiple data centers with redundancy implemented throughout. In other words, the data just doesn’t get copied from one central location to another. It’s distributed to multiple data centers, so if one center fails or is breached, another comes online seamlessly, and so on.
Most on-premises systems may just have a main physical server and a backup that the main server can failover to. That isn’t useful if there’s a natural disaster or a large network outage.
Acumatica has a fully staffed, highly trained, 24/7 security operations center already in place. It’s their responsibility to provide this level of monitoring to their clients and they absorb the expense.
With Acumatica, your data is hosted in the cloud and all of your user workstations are completely segmented. That means, even if a hacker gets into a workstation, they can’t access anything beyond that workstation. Individual workstations are no longer a viable entry point for hackers.
These 6 ways Acumatica protects your data are just the beginning of what Acumatica can do for you. Your data is just too important to trust with any ERP provider. Choose Acumatica.
As an Acumatica Gold-Certified Partner, we are ready and able to ensure your data is protected by implementing an Acumatica ERP system.
