1. Network Security
TLS/SSL Encryption
- All data in transit uses TLS 1.3
- Certificate pinning for critical connections
- Perfect forward secrecy enabled
- No weak ciphers allowed
DDoS Protection
- Global CDN with DDoS mitigation
- Rate limiting at multiple levels
- IP-based threat detection
- Automatic blocking of malicious traffic
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Protects against OWASP Top 10
- SQL injection prevention
- XSS protection
- CSRF tokens on all forms
2. Authentication & Authorization
Multi-Factor Authentication
- TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password)
- Backup codes for account recovery
- Hardware security keys (FIDO2/U2F)
- Biometric on mobile
Single Sign-On (SSO)
- OAuth 2.0 support
- OpenID Connect (OIDC)
- SAML 2.0 for enterprises
- Custom identity providers
Authorization
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
- Organization-scoped permissions
- Team-level access management
3. Data Security
Encryption at Rest
- AES-256 encryption for all data
- Separate encryption keys per customer
- Key rotation every 90 days
- Encrypted backups
Encryption in Transit
- TLS 1.3 for all connections
- Message-level encryption for critical data
- Encrypted message queues
- Secure API protocols
Data Isolation
- Tenant data completely isolated
- Separate database schemas per organization
- Independent encryption keys
- No cross-tenant data leakage
4. Application Security
Secure Development
- SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
- DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
- Dependency scanning for vulnerabilities
- Security code review process
API Security
- API authentication required
- Rate limiting per API key
- IP whitelisting available
- Audit logging for all API calls
Secrets Management
- No secrets in code repositories
- HashiCorp Vault for secret storage
- Automatic secret rotation
- Secure credential injection
5. Infrastructure Security
Cloud Infrastructure
- AWS/Google Cloud with security best practices
- VPC isolation for Solatis infrastructure
- Security groups limiting access
- No public database exposure
Container Security
- Minimal base images
- Container image scanning
- Runtime security monitoring
- Pod security policies
Kubernetes Security
- RBAC for pod access
- Network policies isolating pods
- Pod security standards
- Admission controllers
6. Access Control
Employee Access
- Zero-trust access model
- Principle of least privilege
- MFA required for all employees
- Access approval workflow
Privileged Access
- Separate privileged accounts
- Time-limited access grants
- Session recording
- Audit logging for all privileged actions
Third-Party Access
- Vendor security assessments
- Contracts with security requirements
- Limited scope access
- Regular audits

Security Best Practices for Users
Account Security
- Use strong, unique passwords
- Enable multi-factor authentication
- Regularly review access logs
- Use SSO when available
API Key Security
- Store API keys securely (use secret managers)
- Rotate keys regularly
- Use scoped API keys for specific tasks
- Never commit keys to version control
Data Handling
- Classify data appropriately
- Apply correct access controls
- Use encryption for sensitive data
- Monitor access logs
