Our respects to a great statesman, father, husband, war hero, and public servant. You will be missed, George H. W. Bush. May you rest in peace.
Security in the Tendenci SaaS Cloud at AWS
Cyber Security is based on Prevention, Monitoring, and Incident Response
Associations are part of the fabric of society. We take it seriously. And we also understand there are no “perfect” or “completely secure” systems. Not even air-gapped.
To guard our SaaS AMS clients’s sites we use redundant systems. These include SSL encryption, application isolation, containers, layers of AWS (Amazon Web Services) VPC, Security Groups, ACLs, Route53 DNS, custom AMIs, virus scanners, malware scanners, pentesting, auditing and more. All of these activities generate redundant logs which need to be monitored. To do that we run what is called the “ELK Stack” or now the “Elastic Stack“.
Cyber Security starts with Project Management
A Cyber PM, upon initial completion, never ends. It requires constant vigilance. The process of Cyber Security can be further explained as:
- Architecture – Start with Security In Mind
- Passive Cyber Defense – Systems that are in place
- Active Cyber Defense
- Cyber Intelligence Gathering
- Response
** Note: There is a longer explanation on our site at https://www.tendenci.com/security/
There are many resources available for cyber security training. We encourage you to look them up and take an active role in keeping your web site, company, family and country secure from cyber attacks!
