Security

Security Overview

Site Manager controls the security of your content at a number of levels:

• User rights and roles are enforced
• The delivery of content is secure
• Content can be published to various locations at a document-by-document level

Within the software, all actions are recorded to the database allowing for full reporting and auditing of activities.

Content Security

The publishing engine within Site Manager can replicate your content to a specific web server, allowing you to physically separate your confidential content from your public content. This provides an extra level of security; the site can be replicated from the staging area within the Site Manager software.

This technical structure allows you to benefit from the security features of the selected web server including:

• SSL Encryption of content
• PKI
• Filtering and personalisation
• Password protection

Publishing Security

TERMINALFOUR Site Manager supports both dynamic and static publishing. Static publishing allows for a website to be generated from the CMS server and replicated outside the firewall to a separate, independent server where there is no need for a database, resulting in:

• A high level of security, as there is always a backup copy of the website on the CMS server.
• A high level of performance, as each page does not need to be generated from the CMS database once it has been requested.
• Pages can continue to run embedded scripting such as JSP, PHP or ASP
• Possibility of hacking is reduced considerably, as each page is generated statically
• Websites operate independently should the CMS system be "turned off".

Back-up and Resilience

TERMINALFOUR Site Manager does not maintain any data in a proprietary data store that cannot be backed up using traditional backup/restore software. Back-up copies of the full published site can be made on any number of servers, staging or otherwise.

In short, the architecture of the Site Manager system allows for copies of all data to be made from both the back and front ends, enabling very high levels of resilience, security and portability.
