In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are confronted with an overwhelming influx of heterogeneous data from various sources.

This diverse data is integral to making informed decisions and driving innovation across different teams and departments.

Managing such data however, comes with its own set of challenges, particularly in ensuring data security and maintaining efficiency.

The solution to these challenges is to adopt a cloud-based PLM that enables data encryption, authentication mechanisms, and secure access controls.

 At ¹ú²úAV, cloud security is jointly managed by the ¹ú²úAV cloud operations team and its hosting partner, Microsoft Azure. 

They work together to ensure that customers data will be stored securely and protected against unauthorized access. We also follow additional processes to protects our customers data. 

¹ú²úAV assure high-security level for its cloud-based solutions with :

• Cybersecurity Standards 

  Kubix Link has a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation. 
  The AICPA has developed a cybersecurity risk management reporting framework that assists organizations as they communicate relevant and useful information about the effectiveness of their cybersecurity risk management programs. 

  The framework is a key component of a new System and Organization Controls (SOC) for Cybersecurity engagement, through which a CPA reports on an organizations' enterprise-wide cybersecurity risk management program.

  

OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) is dedicated
to enabling organizations to develop and maintain highly
secure applications.

• Cybersecurity trainings

  ¹ú²úAV invests regularly on employees training to increase their knowledge and keep them aware of changing security landscape . 

  Our employees are certified by Microsoft, Afnor, ISO 27001 Lead implementer.

  

• Personal data protection 

  ¹ú²úAV has implemented rules regarding personal data collection, use, deletion and with a focus on Kubix Link users. 

  For instance, in Kubix Link, users have added features to allow anonymization, data recovery and portability.

  

   

• Microsoft Azure

  Our internal experts develop and operate secure applications. 

  Those applications are hosted at our partner, Microsoft Azure. We work together to deliver critical security features thanks to an end-to-end integrated process. 

  Thanks to Microsoft Azure, data protection is ensured at any time in the cloud. 

  Security by design is set up to protect data : authentication protocols, access controls, data encryption, threat modeling & risk assessment, daily security scan.

  

• Verification 

  To be sure the applications are not introduced by vulnerabilities, we perform regular security controls such as penetration tests, static & dynamic application security tests and dependency scanning.

The conundrum of managing heterogeneous data lies in the vast array of data formats, sources, and data silos that arise from various departments within an organization. 

Disjointed workflows, data duplication, and lack of collaboration can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Data silos pose a significant threat to security, compliance, and intellectual property protection. 

This fear of security breaches hampers the ability of teams to fully leverage the data's potential, stifling growth and hindering innovation.

Burdened with the constant need to ensure data integrity and adhere to data protection regulations, teams are left grappling with the complexity of maintaining security measures while also attempting to make sense of heterogeneous data.

To help mitigate some of these challenges it is important to promote a culture of cybersecurity awareness. 

However, the strongest measure to effectively address these concerns and safeguard valuable data is to host your PLM solution in the cloud. 

Cloud providers assure their clients that their data will be stored securely and protected against unauthorized access.

Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) promise the security of their platforms. These promises include data encryption, authentication mechanisms, and stringent access controls.

A robust cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution streamlines processes to lower operational costs and empowers teams to perform faster without compromising data security.

Multi-Layered Security Approach

• Data Encryption: Cloud service providers employ advanced encryption techniques to safeguard data during both transit and storage. This ensures that sensitive information remains indecipherable to unauthorized entities.
• Access Control: Multi-factor authentication and stringent access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical data and resources, minimizing the risk of breaches.

Evidence of security practices

• Industry Compliance: Leading cloud providers adhere to rigorous industry standards and regulations, such as SOC 2 and GDPR. This adherence showcases their commitment to maintaining a secure environment for customer data.
• Transparent Audits: Independent third-party audits assess the security protocols and practices of cloud providers, offering a transparent view of their security posture.

Efficacy of cloud security

• Secure Collaboration: Cloud platforms facilitate secure collaboration by enabling controlled access to files and documents, preventing unauthorized sharing.
• Identity and Access Management: Cloud-based identity and access management tools provide granular control over user permissions, reducing the risk of insider threats.

Benefits of Cloud Security

• Cost-Efficiency: Cloud services provide cost-effective security solutions by alleviating the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure and maintenance.
• Faster Threat Detection: Cloud providers often integrate advanced AI and machine learning capabilities to analyze massive amounts of data in real time, enabling quicker identification and mitigation of potential threats.
• Scalability: Cloud security solutions can scale seamlessly with business growth, ensuring that security remains robust and effective even as operations expand.

The consequences of neglecting cloud-based security can be dire, ranging from data breaches and financial losses to reputational damage.

Ignoring the evolving threat landscape only exposes organizations to greater risks.

By embracing the cloud's multi-layered security approach, organizations can forge a path toward digital transformation while safeguarding their most valuable asset: data.

As organizations push the boundaries of innovation, the cloud empowers them to do so with enhanced security. Tangible proof, in the form of compliance certifications and third-party audits, reinforces commitment to safeguarding data.

Ultimately, embracing a cloud-based PLM enables organizations to innovate while enjoying scalable, robust, and proactive security measures.
