Cloud services offer many benefits to businesses. One of them is that users can be located anywhere. They can access data and applications in the cloud from any device connected to the Internet. This allows for flexible work arrangements, such as remote work and business travel.
However, the advantage of anywhere access also comes with the risk of information leakage. Unauthorized access or hacking can result in the leakage of important business data. Employees themselves can also leak information unintentionally. For example, accessing cloud services via public Wi-Fi or personal devices increases the risk of information being stolen or lost by third parties.
NetSuite provides secure access control by specifying the IP addresses from which access is allowed. IP addresses are numbers that identify devices on the Internet. Company Level. At the company level, a common IP address is registered for the entire company. At the individual employee level, each employee registers their own IP address. This ensures that only the specified IP address can log into NetSuite.
NetSuite’s access restriction feature is flexible. For example, you can allow access from a secure location in the office with a company-level IP address, or from an employee’s home with an individual employee-level IP address. IP address restrictions can also be placed on specific roles or functions. For example, strict restrictions can be placed on roles and functions related to highly confidential work, such as accounting and human resources, while more relaxed restrictions can be placed on roles and functions related to work that involves a lot of external collaboration, such as sales and marketing.
NetSuite is a solution that minimizes the risk of information leakage while maximizing the benefits of cloud services.
