Feb 5 -- Web-based ERP (enterprise resource planning) provider, BScaler Inc., announced Monday that they have hardened their operating system and enhanced security at the system binary level in the event of a breach or intrusion. BScaler's complete business management solution integrates CRM, service, operations and accounting functions for a complete view for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
BScaler is in a business that requires the company to be vigilant about the security of customer data, BScaler said. For this reason, the company continues to develop a global approach around three core security areas – the data center, the Internet, and the application – which BScaler was looking for, it said.
BScaler of Milpitas, California provides global ERP business management solution for SMBs. The easy to learn, simple to use Enterprise Resource Manager integrates business information across sales, service, operations and finance organizations. By utilizing a patent-pending Unified Database Architecture, ERM empowers SMBs with real-time operating intelligence. With an array of implementation options, including SaaS+, companies are quick to realize the dramatic ROI (return on investment), the company said.
BScaler uses a Unix or Linux OS, depending on the deployment, at its core. By hardening the OS (read only) and securing the system binaries, they made it extremely difficult for someone with nefarious intent to attack their system.
BScaler works hard to get this additional layer of security into its latest release, the company said. As a SaaS ERP provider, BScaler is serious about providing world-class security and protecting our customers against data theft, loss or misuse, it added.
Though the list of security features is long, examples of BScaler's commitment to security include; a 24/7 secure, access-controlled data center employing commercial-grade firewalls for all their production servers, as well as employing state-of-the-art monitoring software. As data is carried over the internet, 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption is utilized to ensure data security. At the application level, role-based IDs and passwords prevent employees from access to data beyond the scope of their responsibility.
BScaler’s customers appreciate its commitment to security and uptime, BScaler said. The company even had a Florida-based customer whose building was completely demolished by a hurricane; they lost everything. However, from a hotel room in Atlanta, the company's president and his employees were able to access their data and maintain business continuity, the company said.
