What is a private cloud
- a private cloud increases your level of security by making access from the public internet invisible
- allow logging into the system only from within the company network or via VPN
Who is the private cloud for, and who can use it?
- A private cloud offers enhanced security. It's ideal for businesses who prefer not to host Aptien directly on their own servers (on-premise) but still require a dedicated, isolated environment. This ensures your Aptien instance is protected with an extra layer of security, making it accessible only from your internal network.
- The private cloud is available for customers with an Enterprise plan.
How does a private cloud work?
- Your Aptien application (for example, yourcompany.aptien.com) will only be visible and accessible when you are connected to your company's internal network. If you are working remotely or traveling, you will first need to log in to your company's Virtual Private Network (VPN). Only then will you be able to access Aptien. You cannot access your Aptien application directly from the public internet.
- The figure shows the difference between a private cloud and a public cloud.
How does a private cloud increase security?
- A private cloud enhances security by making your Aptien application accessible only from within your company's controlled network.
- It is not directly accessible from the public internet.
- To use Aptien, you must be either connected to your company's internal network or use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- This means logging into Aptien is restricted to users within your internal network or those connected via VPN.
- Therefore, a potential attacker would first need to breach your company's network before gaining access to your Aptien system, adding a critical layer of defense
