With digital transformation becoming more of a necessity than a need, businesses today are increasingly shifting operations to the cloud. Enterprises aim to leverage the benefits of speed, flexibility, and operational efficiency that cloud environments typically offer.
Recognizing this shift, Dassault Systèmes has committed to providing a secure and reliable cloud-based ecosystem with its 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. This commitment is detailed in a very interesting white paper on cloud security and privacy, highlighting key aspects of the company’s strategy and implementations to ensure the highest standards of data protection and cybersecurity.
Dassault Systèmes operates a robust Information Security & Privacy Management System (ISPMS) that adheres to internationally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27001:2017 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019. This system is designed to cover all aspects of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, from design and development to deployment and support, ensuring comprehensive protection and compliance.
Using the Dassault Systèmes’ example, there’s a lesson to be learned here: If you seek a manufacturing solution provider, reseller, or integrator, always ask about their compliance to internationally recognized standards. Look for solutions that ensure the alignment with your manufacturing model. This alignment is achieved through regular audits, continual improvements, and your solution provider’s commitment to integrating security and privacy measures into every facet of their operations.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud platform incorporates several advanced security features designed to protect user data and ensure seamless operation. While the Dassault Systèmes’ cloud platform is a highly sought solution, enterprises have different business goals, plans, and preferences. The bottom line is to seek the following key features in any cloud platform as they guarantee the highest security and privacy of your data.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud platform offers the following key security features:
Authentication and authorization: The platform uses 3D Passport, a personalized login system that supports single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance security. This ensures that users can securely access all their roles, apps, and services with a single set of credentials.
Access control: Rigorous access control mechanisms regulate who can view or use resources within the cloud environment, supporting both data security and compliance requirements.
Encryption: Data transmitted within the platform is protected using HTTPS/TLS encryption protocols, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of user data.
High availability and anti-DDoS: The platform’s services are safeguarded by high availability solutions and load balancing proxy services that incorporate anti-DDoS attack mechanisms, maintaining service reliability and performance even under potential threats.
Dassault Systèmes employs a multilayered approach to cloud operations, which includes Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Each layer is designed to address specific security needs and ensure comprehensive protection across the entire platform. Critical security measures at these layers include role-based access control, encryption, continuous monitoring, and vulnerability management.
In terms of data protection, Dassault Systèmes clearly delineates the roles of data controllers and processors, ensuring compliance with global privacy standards and regulations. This meticulous approach to data protection demonstrates their commitment to maintaining user trust and safeguarding sensitive information.
Depending on various factors, such as IT infrastructure data privacy regulations, organizations choose on-premises solutions, cloud deployments, or hybrid cloud models. As mentioned, with its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Dassault Systèmes offers several approaches to cloud operations like SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, which is exactly what you should be looking for in a solution—an approach that’s right for your business model. Whether you seek a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution, or Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system, talk to your software provider about potential deployment methods.
Just like Andea’s dedication to client satisfaction, one of the standout features of Dassault Systèmes' security and privacy strategy is its dedication to continuous improvement. The company regularly evaluates its security measures against industry standards and implements necessary enhancements.
This proactive approach ensures that both Dassault Systèmes and Andea not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers in terms of security and privacy. We understand that there are different manufacturing solutions providers but whoever your business partners are, their commitment to continuous improvement should be undisputed.
Dassault Systèmes places a high priority on security and privacy, integrating these principles into the core of its 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud platform. This comprehensive approach—similar to that of Andea—which includes rigorous authentication methods, robust access control, encryption, and proactive operational security, ensures that customers can trust their data is protected. By adhering to the highest industry standards and continuously improving its security measures, Dassault Systèmes demonstrates its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
