🔐 Key Security Principles

PrincipleDescription
Data EncryptionAll data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.
Isolation by DesignTenant and enterprise data are logically isolated across environments using secure containerized and VPC-based infrastructure.

🛡️ Security Practices

Falcon uses the following best-in-class security practices to maintain the highest level of protection:

  • Ensuring security and privacy by design.
  • Data encryption during transit, and the rest.
  • Tokenization for PCI zones.
  • Regular vulnerability scans and analysis of audit logs to ensure data security.
  • External and Internal penetration test routines
  • WAF and edge firewalls
  • Improved infrastructure stability through scripted provisioning
  • Data encryption using AES-256 with keys stored in a separate security zone.
  • OAuth framework implemented for authorization, with OpenID Connect and JWT for authentication.
  • Service control policies are implemented to govern cloud usage.
  • Hardened database setup to reduce the attack surface.

🏗️ Infrastructure Security
