Secure data

Data security involves the protection of your organization’s data, any data that you host for customers, and any input entered by users during interactions with the product.

Secure data in motion

Securing data in motion refers to the protection of data as it travels over a network or between locations. SourcePro secures data in motion in the following ways:

• SourcePro DB enables the use of encrypted connections provided by database vendors. Methods for each vendor vary. For example, to secure a SQL Server application, see Securing Your SQL Server Application: Enabling Client-Initiated Encrypted Connections.

• SourcePro Net provides classes for HTTPS and FTPS to help support the secure transmission of data across the internet. For more information, see The Secure Communication Module.

Secure data at rest

Securing data at rest involves protecting data on physical media, such as hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs), and on cloud storage. Common methods include encryption, access controls, authentication mechanisms, and security audits.

SourcePro serialization classes do not provide encryption. To protect your data, you can encrypt the files on disk or implement other security measures on your file system.
