The digital transformation is changing everything, and companies are faced with an increasing number of security concerns. Choosing a secure digital signage software is crucial to ensure data privacy is maintained and communications can flow freely within organizations.
Secure hosting
The hosting of the digital signage solution is an important component which ensures the stability of the digital signage network as well as the safety of your data. For example, a hosting service such as Microsoft Azure provides best-in-class security for ITESMEDIA customers. Microsoft Azure is known for its robust security measures and its secure data protection capabilities, which provides peace of mind when it comes to matters of data confidentiality and integrity. Furthermore, Microsoft Azure follows the ISO 27001, ISO 27018, SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 safety certifications, which are compliant with international standards, including in Canada, the United States and the European Union.
Geo-redundant hosting
Geo-redundancy is a key feature which ensures your digital signage software is always available. If an outage or a catastrophe occurs, geo-redundancy ensures your data will remain available, and your network will continue working without interruption.
NIST SP 800-53 cybersecurity framework
Following the NIST SP 800-53 cybersecurity framework is another important measure which safeguards your digital signage software. This framework sets out clear and comprehensive guidelines to manage risks and protect information systems.
Single sign-on (SSO)
SSO streamlines access to digital signage software by using existing accounts of the client organization. This method ensures a centralized management of accesses while facilitating connections for employees.
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication strengthens protection of online accounts by adding an extra security layer, which significantly lowers the risk of unauthorized access.
Password management policy
Effective password management is vital to prevent security breaches and protect sensitive data. A safe digital signage software must offer strong password management features such as complex password policies (requiring for example a minimal password length, the addition of numbers or special characters, etc.) and secure reset mechanisms to ensure your company can manage password setup directly from within the software.
Risks of unsafe software
Choosing an unsafe software solution exposes your company to various risks, such as data theft or loss, or inappropriate content being shared on your displays. Furthermore, malicious actors can use unsafe solutions as an entry point and, from there, access other important systems within your computer networks. These threats can damage your company’s reputation and compromise the privacy of your data.
For all these reasons, the choice of a secure digital signage software is crucial. Offering a solution hosted on Microsoft Azure, providing geo-redundant hosting and following security best practices, ITESMEDIA ensures you can guarantee your data is secure and are able to share efficient and safe internal communications.
