• 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 affect the security, availability, or confidentiality of its systems. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation.; The Autodesk Trust Center provides external users with the ability to report issues and incidents to Autodesk. Additionally, Autodesk’s security incident reporting desk, can be found here: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/contact-us; Notifications of incidents that affect customer information are communicated to customers as required by applicable law. Follow up actions include a summary of remediation actions, depending on incident type. For more information, visit the Autodesk Trust Center: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/incident-response.
