Why Enhanced Enterprise Cloud Security is Important

Before we get started, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page about what we mean when we say, “the cloud.” If you haven’t already read our guide – What Is the Cloud? – be sure not to miss it.

Enhanced Enterprise Cloud Security

Enterprise cloud security is critical and cloud service providers can either follow the industry or lead it. PanTerra leads by being both technology and service provider. Utilizing the most advanced cloud security technologies available, PanTerra integrates enhanced cloud service privacy and security into their unified cloud services to protect and secure content and communications across the enterprise. Interoperability features with existing security systems and environments means that you can be confident PanTerra’s services will fit into your existing security environment.

What to Look For In Cloud Security

When evaluating a cloud service provider’s security options, it’s important to know what to look for. Cloud security is important to your company’s reputation and security, so understanding the features you need and the features offered to you is of the utmost importance.

PanTerra's enterprise cloud security enhancements include:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on ALL devices – Includes desktops, mobile devices and IP phones. This virtually eliminates VoIP phone hacking, which can cost companies thousands of dollars! Additional MFA administrative tools are also provided including IP range white and black listing and administration MFA request approval.
• Single Sign On (SSO) authentication– Allows single secure sign on to PanTerra services through industry standard SAML 2.0 providers including active directory, OneLogin and Okta.
• Full encryption in-transit and at-rest – All content and communications transmitted from PanTerra’s data centers to customer locations is fully encrypted both in-transit and at-rest within the data centers.
• HIPAA compliance – PanTerra supports full HIPAA compliance for all communications and content and provides full BAA agreements.
• SmartBand MPLS – PanTerra offers its own managed fully secure, meshed MPLS network for maximum security and QoS. PanTerra’s SmartBand MLPS is the most pervasive, cost effective way to ensure secure access to all enterprise locations as well as PanTerra cloud services.
• International calling limits – PanTerra implements per user, per country, per day dollar limits for international calling. These limits can be adjusted by administrators or PanTerra and can prevent a VoIP hacker that gains access to an enterprise’s account from racking up thousands of dollars in international relay calling.
• Multiple Active Device Manager (MADM) – Allows any user or Admin to remotely lock out any device that might be stolen or lost.
• Re-assign owner – Allows admins to instantly re-assign SmartBox content to another user. This is useful when an employee is terminated.
• Ultra-secure data centers – Employing latest physical and cyber security technology, PanTerra’s data centers are hardened to attacks including DOS, DDOS, unauthorized access, and viruses. Data center operations is constantly scanning and monitoring for cyber-attacks and continuously monitoring for new viruses and patching any at-risk software.
