BScaler Raises the Bar for SaaS Security

Milpitas, CA, February 4, 2008 – Leading web-based ERP provider, BScaler, announced today that they have hardened their operating system and enhanced security at the system binary level in the event of a breach or intrusion. BScaler’s complete business management solution integrates CRM, Service, Operations and Accounting functions for a full 360-degree view for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

“We are in a business that requires us to be vigilant about the security of our customer’s data,” said John Cabri, VP of Marketing and Business Development. “For this reason, we continue to develop a global approach around three core security areas – the data center, the internet, and the application – which we are always looking to improve.”

BScaler uses a Unix or Linux OS, depending on the deployment, at its core. By hardening the OS (read only) and securing the system binaries, they made it extremely difficult for someone with nefarious intent to attack their system.

“We worked hard to get this additional layer of security into our latest release.” said John Pham, founder and CEO. “As a SaaS ERP provider, we are serious about providing world-class security and protecting our customers against data theft, loss or misuse.”

Though the list of security features is long, examples of BScaler’s commitment to security include; a 24/7 secure, access-controlled data center employing commercial-grade firewalls for all their production servers, as well as employing state-of-the-art monitoring software. As data is carried over the internet, 128-bit SSL encryption is utilized to ensure data security. At the application level, role-based IDs and passwords prevent employees from access to data beyond the scope of their responsibility.

“Our customers appreciate our commitment to security and uptime,” said Steven Mulhall, VP of Sales at BScaler. “We even had a Florida-based customer whose building was completely demolished by a hurricane; they lost everything. However, from a hotel room in Atlanta, the company’s President and his employees were able to access their data and maintain business continuity.”
