Is your data really safe?

Every day, millions of sensitive pieces of information are exposed to cyberattacks, human errors, and technological failures. On this International Data Protection Day, it is time to realize: the smallest breach can cost a lot, in money, reputation and trust. At Synaxe, we leave nothing to chance. Learn how our solutions protect your data with cutting-edge security, so your information stays where it belongs: in good hands.

A holistic approach to data protection

Protecting data is more than installing a firewall or activating an antivirus. It is a global strategy that encompasses infrastructure, access, communications, and even human behavior. At Synaxe, we have taken a multi-dimensional approach to ensure that every aspect of data management is secure. Here's an overview of the methods we use to keep your data out of the reach of cyber threats.

🔒 Infrastructure Security with AWS RDS (Multi-AZ)

Cloud infrastructures play a crucial role in data security. Synaxe relies on AWS RDS to provide a solid and resilient foundation. Why AWS RDS? Here are the main benefits:

1. Redundancy and high availability : By activating Multi-AZ mode, our databases are replicated across several availability zones, which ensures continuity of service even in the event of a datacenter failure.
2. Automatic backups : Backups are performed regularly to allow for rapid recovery in the event of an incident, avoiding irreversible data loss.
3. Encryption at rest and in transit : Whether in the database or during exchanges, all data is encrypted to ensure confidentiality and integrity.

Why infrastructure is critical

Choosing the right infrastructure is the first step in protecting data. A poorly configured or unreplicated database is an easy target for cybercriminals and a weak spot in the event of a failure. Synaxe chose AWS RDS to ensure that your data benefits from the most advanced technologies.

⚙️ Access control based on granular scopes

Access rights management is a cornerstone of data security. At Synaxe, we have adopted a granular scope system that ensures that each user only has access to the resources they need. Here's how it works:

1. Precise permission control : Each API route is associated with a specific scope. This means that access is restricted based on user roles or needs, reducing the risks of unauthorized access.
2. Principle of least privilege : We apply this principle to ensure that users can only access what is necessary for their role, thus minimizing potential errors or abuses.
3. Flexibility and scalability : Our system makes it easy to adjust permissions according to the changing needs of the organization.

Access management adapted to modern challenges

With the rise of cyberattacks targeting user identifiers, detailed access management is essential. Our granular system offers protection adapted to current realities while remaining flexible to support your growth.

🔑 Authentication and access security via JWT and SSL

The authentication and security of data exchanges are at the heart of our protection system. Here are the technologies we use:

1. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) :
   • Secure authentication : JWT tokens allow users to verify the identity of users without exposing their sensitive data.
   • Configurable expiration : Each token has a limited lifespan, which reduces the risks in case of compromise.
2. SSL managed by Cloudflare :
   • Encrypting data in transit : All communications between the client and our servers are secured via HTTPS.
   • Simplified certificate management : Cloudflare takes care of the generation, renewal, and management of SSL certificates, ensuring optimal availability.

The need for robust authentication

With the increase in remote connections and exposed APIs, robust authentication and encryption of exchanges have become essential. Synaxe ensures that your accesses and your data circulate in a protected environment.

🛡️ Protection against cyberattacks thanks to Cloudflare

Cyber attacks, especially denial of service (DDoS) attacks, are a constant threat. Synaxe chose Cloudflare to offer an extra layer of protection. Here's what that means:

1. DDoS attack mitigation : By absorbing and neutralizing volumetric attacks, Cloudflare guarantees continuity of service, even during major attacks.
2. Application firewall (WAF) : Cloudflare's WAF automatically blocks malicious or suspicious requests, protecting our APIs and applications.
3. Optimized performance : In addition to strengthening security, Cloudflare improves request latency through its global network of points of presence (PoPs).

Combining performance and safety

In a world where web performance is as crucial as security, Cloudflare allows Synaxe to ensure a smooth user experience while maintaining a high level of protection against cyber threats.

Together, these elements make up a comprehensive and robust strategy to protect your data. At Synaxe, we are convinced that every detail counts, because your information deserves constant attention.
