- Approach to resilience
- To maintain high availability, Autodesk employs redundant application servers/services across multiple AWS Availability Zones/data centers that are load balanced for automated failover. Data is replicated across multiple AWS Availability Zones/data centers and uses automated failover for planned or unplanned maintenance. Additionally, Autodesk maintains and business continuity plan and disaster recovery process.

- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- Autodesk ensures the confidentiality of customer data by limiting access. Customer data is limited and restricted to authorized individuals. Access provisioning is designed to permit system users access to information they need based on their role in the system and restrict them from accessing information not needed for their role. Autodesk commits to adequately securing customer data as part of its Cloud Services. In addition, Autodesk uses encryption technology to encrypt uploaded customer data at rest and in transit.

To Access Autodesk’s Cloud Services, an employee must use their unique user ID and two-factor authentication. The unique user ID is used for every system that is within the Cloud Services’ environment. The ID tracks the user’s activity on Autodesk’s Cloud Services’ network.

- Information security policies and processes
-
Autodesk depends on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information assets to successfully conduct its business, meet customer and business partner expectations, and provide client peace of mind. Autodesk recognizes the need to protect the information and assets used to create, process, store, and support business operations. To that end, Autodesk has established a Security Program (as outlined in a Security Policy) to manage business risk, adhere to legal, compliance, and regulatory mandates, and ensure that all information assets are adequately safeguarded.
Autodesk policies and standards address the purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities, and compliance. Policies and standards cover the following areas (including, but not limited to):
• Acceptable Use;
• Security Training and Awareness;
• Security Risk Management;
• Third Party Risk Management;
• Security Incident Management;
• Vulnerability Management;
• Access Management;
• Information Protection;
• Network Security;
• SDLC and Change Management;
• Configuration and System Hardening;
• Security Logging and Monitoring;
• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery; and
• Data Classification.
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- Autodesk has configuration and change management processes in place to ensure that hardware and software are configured with proper settings, version control and documentation (leveraging various industry best practices, such as ITIL). Cloud Services are designed to be able to maintain control over the entire software stack and to help provide a secure application environment (including OS hardening and security fixes/patches). Change management spans deployment of changes to the staging and production environments, including testing of changes prior to release to the production to address changes that may potentially affect system security, availability, and confidentiality of user information.
- Vulnerability management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Autodesk maintains a Vulnerability Management Standard which requires Autodesk Security to periodically scan internal and internet facing service endpoint IP Addresses for network and web-based vulnerabilities. For container environments, a vulnerability management tool is used to scan container images for vulnerabilities before they are deployed to production. Autodesk Security notifies the appropriate parties to remediate any identified vulnerabilities in a timely manner based on severity levels. In addition, external vulnerability threat assessments are performed annually by independent security firms. Findings and recommendations resulting from these assessments are categorized and delivered to Cloud Services' leadership and stakeholders.
- Protective monitoring type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Security monitoring: System logging and monitoring facilities exist throughout the infrastructure, and all user activity are logged to a centralized Security Information and Event Management ("SIEM") system for log correlation and analysis. Alerts are reviewed to detect potentially anomalous activity for further investigation.
Events that directly impact customers are treated with the highest priority. An individual or team is dedicated to remediating the problem and enlisting the help of product and subject matter experts as appropriate. Other responsibilities are deferred until the issue is resolved. - Incident management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
-
Autodesk's Security team has an incident management process for security events that may affect the security, availability, or confidentiality of its systems or data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation.
The Autodesk Trust Center website provides external users with the ability to report issues and incidents to Autodesk. Autodesk offers a security incident reporting desk: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/contact-us
Identified incidents are documented and tracked through to resolution.
Notifications of security incidents that affect customer information are communicated to customers as required by applicable law. Actions may include a summary of remediation actions: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/incident-response.
