Security in NetSuite Cloud

Today’s cloud-based enterprise solutions are designed to support any company, regardless of their size. What makes this possible is elastic multi-tenant architecture allowing companies to use infrastructure and cloud services based on their size and needs. Companies can thus grow their business with the confidence that they can tap into bigger share of the infrastructure without having to worry about investments in hardware, software, security, backups, disaster recovery or other related expenses.

One of the major concerns regarding cloud-based solutions revolves around security. It’s natural to think that if you have your data and equipment in your possession, then it’s less likely to be compromised. However, recent studies and surveys show that cloud-based enterprise solutions today are far more secure then on-premise systems.

For NetSuite, a leading cloud-based enterprise solution provider, world-class security is essential to maintaining consumer trust and market leadership. NetSuite takes advantage of their multi-tenant architecture to roll-out patches and security updates across their whole customer base, making sure each customer has most upto date security updates. Additionally, because of advances in virtualization and hardware, it’s nearly impossible to penetrate different security layers and hardware abstraction levels to get to physical servers in a cloud infrastructure.

The reality is that businesses are far more vulnerable to internal threats and employee-related security breaches than security lapses and compromises in cloud environment. Relaxed security policies can compromise any system regardless of whether it’s located on-premise or in the cloud.

NetSuite understands security challenges very well and addresses key security issues on four different levels, earning the highest industry standards and peer recognized certifications.
