At our organization, we leverage Heroku, a leading cloud application platform, to deploy and operate many of our critical applications. This strategic choice allows our development teams to focus on building innovative features and delivering business value, while Heroku expertly manages the underlying infrastructure, scaling, and, crucially, security.
Heroku's commitment to security is integral to its service. They employ a multi-layered approach, securing everything from the physical AWS data centers to the application layer. Key aspects of their security framework that benefit us include:
Robust Infrastructure: Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Heroku benefits from Amazon's extensive physical and environmental safeguards, along with compliance certifications like ISO 27001, SOC, and PCI.
Comprehensive Security Measures: Heroku implements strong network security (firewalls, DDoS mitigation), data security (application isolation, encrypted database connections for services like Heroku Postgres), and proactive vulnerability management.
Continuous Protection & Recovery: Our applications and data benefit from Heroku's backup systems and disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring resilience and business continuity.
Focus on Trust: Built on Salesforce's core principle of trust, Heroku prioritizes customer data privacy and undergoes regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing.
By entrusting Heroku with these operational complexities, we can confidently build, deploy, and scale our applications, knowing they are supported by a secure, reliable, and well-maintained platform. This partnership allows us to innovate faster and more securely.
