3 reasons why a cloud-based PLM strenghtens data security

At Lectra, cloud security is jointly managed by the Lectra cloud operations team and its hosting partner, Microsoft Azure. They work together to ensure that your data will be stored securely and protected against unauthorized access. The foundation of our security posture is data security. This means data encryption, authentication mechanisms, and secure access controls—the cornerstones of modern cybersecurity—are essential functions of our cloud applications.  

1. Data Encryption

Cloud service providers use advanced encryption methods to protect your data during both transmission and storage, keeping sensitive information secure from unauthorized access.

The Lectra Difference:

• Secure Transmission: All data flows through HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication.
• Protected Storage: Our databases are encrypted at rest using the AES-256 standard.

With these measures, your data remains indecipherable to unauthorized parties.

2. Authentication Mechanisms

Multi-factor authentication and strict access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical data and resources, reducing the risk of breaches.

The Lectra Difference:

• Enhanced Security: Lectra’s cloud-based solution administrators use multi-factor authentication to access the administration interface.
• Identity Verification: Safeguard your digital assets by verifying the identity of users.

3. Secure Access Controls

Cloud-based identity and access management tools offer detailed control over user permissions, minimizing the risk of insider threats.

The Lectra Difference:

• Certified Security: Microsoft Azure, Lectra’s hosting partner, holds all necessary certifications to ensure the security of access and management related to the physical infrastructure provided to Lectra and its customers.
• Controlled Access: Limit exposure to malicious actors by specifying who can access information and under what conditions.
