Chapter 27 Security

Security is built into BigBusiness with all connections encrypted using state of the art protocols and all of the controls you might want if you want to review security setup.

BigBusiness automatically encrypts all connections. There is nothing you need to do to secure all Clients other than assign Passwords. This chapter provides more details.

As needed, you may secure passwords, allow only known IP addresses, and so forth that strengthen your security, and you may add various security softwares or services.



  Security First

Security first is a priority with Microsoft and Apple and raises all bars for compliance.

Big Business makes some changes that may remove conveniences but it is for the best. Productivy improves with new options and by avoiding complications due to security.

New versions add new Plugins, new Services, and new Security measures to meet aims. The goal is productivity, uninterrupted, and longevity for your systems, in perpetuity.



  OpenSSL.exe Removed

OpenSSL.exe was included as a utility and has been removed for known vulnerabilities.

Big Business 14.182 is a new set of installers for the final version Big Business 14.181. BigBusiness 15.152 is an update to BigBusiness 15. Both remove the OpenSSL utility.

Please contact support@bigbusiness.com if you have questions or need help updating.



  Fortinet EMS

Fortinet offers endpoint management server to help install and secure client computers.

BigBusiness 15 updates installed utilities to correct vulnerabilities reported in Fortinet.

For security, Big Business will update included utilities and services needing attention. As an example, QuickSupport has migrated to a download to meet new security goals.



  TeamViewerQS Removed

QuickSupport is a utility you can download with a click and is not needed preinstalled.

Big Business included the TeamViewerQS program previously to save time with Help. Now your download should make it easy and safe to always get most current version.

This change is made for security reasons, for example, a Mac will not run presinstalled. As a fix the shortcut in BigBusiness for QuickSupport downloads the latest & greatest.



  QuickSupport Updated

QuickSupport is updated to automatically download a current version of TeamViewer.

Previously this was built in as a convenience but this posed a security risk if outdated. Now when you click QuickSupport in Help, About Big Business, it will get the latest.
