Since we’re aware that data security is imperative to our clients, we at AppFusion make it our top priority. We’re constantly upgrading our platform to enhance performance, but we also go to great lengths to cover every angle when it comes to security. Protecting sensitive data, preventing unauthorized access, and ensuring compliance with industry standards are at the core of what we do.
What does AppFusion do for your SMB?
AppFusion is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) designed to help businesses integrate and manage various applications, data sources, and systems. Whether these systems are cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid, AppFusion simplifies the process of connecting them in a unified platform and enables businesses to exchange and manage data between various systems.
Organizations today face the challenge of handling vast amounts of sensitive information – from customer data to financial records, so the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access is constantly increasing. That’s why a secure platform like AppFusion is essential for you to avoid these risks while optimizing their processes.
Data Security: How we do it
SMBs today rely on data integration, and as they connect an increasing number of applications and systems, protecting sensitive information becomes more critical than ever. We understand the need for a secure and efficient platform to manage data across multiple systems. That’s why we are more than just an integration platform—we build a secure foundation for connecting your cloud, on-premises, and hybrid systems and use robust token-based authorization, cloud encryption, and proactive threat detection to provide you with the security you need to run your business without worry.
Token-Based Authorization
AppFusion employs token-based authorization as a core security feature to protect user access and ensure that only authorized users can interact with the platform.
Enhanced Security
Token-based authorization generates a unique token for every session or request, making it more difficult for unauthorized parties to access sensitive data. The token is short-lived, and even if it is intercepted or compromised, it will only be usable for a limited time. Once a session expires, the token becomes invalid, which adds an extra layer of security against unauthorized access.
This mechanism secures your data during active sessions and limits the potential impact in case of a security breach. As an added benefit, AppFusion provides the ability to invalidate a token at any time, ensuring that if a token is compromised, it can be quickly deactivated, preventing any further misuse.
Stateless Architecture
Another crucial element of token-based authentication is the stateless architecture employed by AppFusion. Unlike traditional systems that store session information on the server, AppFusion does not retain any session data. Each request made to the system carries all the necessary authentication information within the token itself. This reduces the risks associated with session hijacking—where an attacker gains access by taking over a valid session.
Granular Access Control
AppFusion’s token-based system goes beyond simply securing user access—it also allows for granular control over who can access what. Tokens can be configured with specific permissions and scopes, ensuring that users only have access to the resources and data they need to perform their tasks. This approach helps to reduce the platform’s attack surface by limiting access to sensitive information, which mitigates the risks of exposure and unauthorized data access.
Cloud-Based Security
In addition to token-based authorization, AppFusion integrates powerful cloud-based security measures to safeguard your data and ensure the platform remains resistant to potential threats. These measures include encryption, regular security audits, continuous monitoring, and disaster recovery.
Data Encryption
AppFusion employs advanced encryption protocols to protect your data both while it’s being transferred (in transit) and when it’s stored (at rest). This ensures that data is encrypted and unreadable to anyone who doesn’t have the necessary decryption keys.
The use of industry-standard encryption methods ensures that data remains confidential and secure from unauthorized access at every stage.
Regular Security Audits
AppFusion’s cloud-based infrastructure undergoes regular security audits to identify and fix any vulnerabilities that may arise. These audits help ensure that the platform’s security measures are up-to-date and compliant with industry standards. By proactively identifying potential weaknesses, we can mitigate risks before they become a problem.
The audits also ensure that AppFusion’s infrastructure remains resilient against emerging cyber threats, offering businesses a secure and stable environment to integrate their systems and manage data.
Compliance and Certifications
At AppFusion, we recognize the importance of adhering to established industry standards and regulations, such as ISO 22301 and ISO 27001. These certifications serve as evidence that AppFusion is committed to maintaining high levels of security in our cloud infrastructure.
By meeting global standards, AppFusion ensures that your data is handled according to best practices – these certifications offer our users the confidence that our platform complies with rigorous security and privacy requirements, which makes AppFusion a trustworthy and compliant choice for businesses around the world.
Continuous Monitoring and Threat Detection
Continuous monitoring is critical to staying ahead of malicious actors. We employ advanced monitoring tools that allow us to detect suspicious activity in real time. Our system is constantly scanning for unusual behavior, unauthorized access attempts, or other signs of potential threats.
Disaster Recovery and Backup
AppFusion’s cloud infrastructure is equipped with robust disaster recovery and backup mechanisms to ensure that your data is always available. Regular backups are performed to create secure copies of your data, ensuring that it can be restored in the event of an issue such as data corruption, server failure, or a cyberattack.
Access Control and Identity Management
We use advanced access control and identity management systems to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data and resources. These systems enforce strict policies regarding user authentication and authorization, making sure that users can only access the data they are permitted to see.
Credentials-Based Authorization
To authenticate and access the AppFusion API securely, businesses must use application credentials to obtain valid tokens. These tokens—access tokens and refresh tokens—are integral to securing interactions with the platform.
The access token is used to authenticate API requests, while the refresh token is used to obtain a new access token once the current one expires. This ensures that businesses can continue to interact with the API without compromising security.
The refresh token is especially important because it reduces the need for constant user re-authentication – when an access token expires, the refresh token allows users to request a new token without requiring them to log in again.
Choose Safety with AppFusion
Here at AppFusion, security is embedded in the core of our platform. From encryption to disaster recovery and access control, AppFusion offers a comprehensive suite of security features that meet the highest industry standards. As security threats continue to evolve, we remain committed to keeping your data safe and ensuring the security of your interactions on the platform. Whether you’re integrating cloud-based or on-premises systems, AppFusion ensures that your data is always secure and gives you the confidence to grow your business with peace of mind.
