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.
