Encryption at Rest. We take advantage of our partner tools to provide encryption-at-rest. Our database uses AWS DynamoDB’s built in feature encryption tool using AES 256 key encryption. We also use Auth0, an industry standard, for user database and authentication and take advantage of their encryption standards.
Encryption in Transit. Cascadeo communication are encrypted via industry best-practices HTTPS and Transport Layer Security (TLS) over public networks.
