Filter Access to your Data with a Complete System of Permissions

Filter access to data is a must-have feature to prevent malicious access to your application.

So far, you could expose or not expose as a REST resource a dataclass and some of its attributes. It was already a convenient means to restrict access to your data. Still, we’re thrilled to deliver in the v19R8 a powerful and fully customizable system to protect your data from unauthorized users. A system to protect your data depends on who is accessing it and which data is accessed.

A Deeper Look into 4D Data Encryption

4D offers several great avenues for keeping your business application secured. One of these avenues is to secure the data itself using 4D’s built-in encryption. To help you understand how encryption works under the hood, we are pleased to announce the release of the 4D Encryption Guide.

As our VP of Strategy, Thomas Maul said:

“Encryption is worth taking a few moments to understand how it works. And not only how to use it.”

And we couldn’t agree more because if we don’t understand it correctly, we’ll never use it to its fullest potential.

Whether you are:

  • trying to gain a business advantage over your competitors
  • dealing (you or your customers) with sensitive data or proprietary information, such as in the financial, healthcare, or legal industries
  • just curious about the technology behind this feature

 

We highly recommend looking into the encryption solution offered by 4D.

4D for iOS: Email authentication

Monitoring access to your mobile app is a very important capability that deserves further consideration. Email validation is one of the simplest and most secure ways to determine the authenticity and legitimacy of the person trying to log into your app. 4D for iOS enables you to easily handle this validation process by verifying that an email comes from whom it claims to be sent from, and by allowing you to block harmful uses of the email.

Introduction to data encryption in 4D

DATA is everywhere. As our lives increasingly move online, the importance of data security also increases. Customer data must be vigilantly guarded against potential threats and breaches. In many cases, using a disk encryption tool (such as Microsoft’s Bitlocker or Apple’s FileVault) provides a sufficient level of protection, but what if your customer or your CSO (Chief Security Officer) requires encryption at the database level – on a per table basis?

During 4D Summit 2018, you asked for a solution to encrypt your data and we’ve delivered. We’re excited to present new data encryption tools for your 4D databases.
