What are the key security considerations when integrating systems?

When integrating systems, key security considerations include data encryption, access controls, and vulnerability assessments.

Can you explain why data encryption is important?

Data encryption protects sensitive information from unauthorized access during transmission and storage, ensuring confidentiality.

What access controls should I implement?

Implement role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular audits to manage user permissions.

How often should I conduct vulnerability assessments?

Vulnerability assessments should be conducted regularly, at least quarterly, and after any significant system changes.

Are there any specific tools you recommend for these assessments?

Yes, tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OWASP ZAP are popular for conducting vulnerability assessments.
