SoftSlate Cloud Platform Infrastructure

Every robust solution requires a rock-solid foundation. The SoftSlate Cloud Platform (SCP) is built from the ground up with best practices in mind for security and reliability.

Every robust solution requires a rock-solid foundation. The SoftSlate Cloud Platform (SCP) is built from the ground up with best practices in mind for security and reliability. SCP resides in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosting environment, and leverages their state-of-the art facilities and features. As a result the platform is built on a base that is secure, stable, and scalable.

Platform Security
  • The servers SCP uses are vetted by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), providing industry-standard state of the operating system security.
  • SCP leverages automated system updates, ensuring your data will not be the victim of the latest exploits.
  • SCP employs a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to prevent repeat hacking attempts and spam requests, both for security and performance.
  • Internally, SCP enforces strictly limited operational access to the AWS servers, database, and other sensitive areas.
  • Data is encrypted at all phases of application processing including during transmission, and at-rest.
  • The entire SCP platform is subjected to regular internal security audits and external vulnerability scanning.
Application Security
  • The SCP application's technology stack consists of modern frameworks and libraries which are updated regularly with security patches.
  • Within the SCP application, a full suite of Login Security Features ensures access is limited to valid users.
Stability and Scalability
  • All incoming traffic is handled by a load balancer which directs requests to a fully-redundant server cluster for maximum up-time.
  • The SCP service has been down only minimally since its inception. As of this writing it has an uptime of over 99.995%.
AWS Hosting
  • SCP resides in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosting environment, and leverages their state-of-the art facilities and features.
  • SCP leverages AWS's auto-scaling capabilities to manage increases in traffic to the service.
  • The load-balanced servers span multiple AWS availability zones, making the system more immune to isolated downages.
