Business applications and sensitive information are moving from on-premises to cloud-hosted services such as Heroku. Perimeter 81’s secure network access solution provides the necessary security and visibility needed to create an optimal, compliant network environment.
Heroku is a cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) system used by many developers to deploy, manage and scale their applications.
Hosted by AWS
All Heroku-based applications are hosted by Amazon Web Service (AWS) and are usually run through one or more buildpacks that provide framework and runtime support.
Collaborative Environment
Each collaborating team member can deploy and manage many applications, which is why it’s important to manage which team members can access your Heroku environment.
Security in the cloud is shared between Heroku and the customer.
Heroku
Your Heroku data is stored and executed in a collection of systems operated by Heroku’s team. Salesforce architects these systems and performs audits to verify the security of systems and processes.
Customer
Heroku customers are responsible for managing access to their account and resources. That means customers must provide their own security through authentication and user access control in order to protect their Heroku environment.
Perimeter 81 provides advanced network access security controls:
