Security Best Practices

Overview

Glassix provides several ways to protect your account.
Your account contains sensitive information such as passwords, customer information, etc. Implementing protection methods helps secure your account and information from abuse and helps maintain your brand's image.

Enable 2FA

2FA is an authentication method in which the user is granted access only after presenting two forms of identity verification. Enabling 2FA provides an extra layer of protection to your account.
In Glassix verification is done by sending the user an SMS message. When a user tries to log in to their dashboard, after typing their Email and Password, they will receive a code via SMS that they'll have to enter.

Set Strong Password Strength

The password strength determines the minimum complexity level of passwords in your system. A complex password is harder to steal or guess, thus protecting your account from fraudulent access.

Whitelist IP Addresses

An IP whitelist allows connection and use of your account only from the addresses in the list. Using this function, you can restrict access to your account only from your office or any other place of your choice, thus, providing you control and an additional layer of protection.
Glassix supports only IPv4.

Scarmble

If your tickets contain sensitive and personal information, we recommend you scramble tickets once they're closed. Scrambling a ticket deletes its contents from the Glassix servers, and your customers' identification will be scrambled and presented by ****. Read more about scramble here.

Whitelist Document types

Glassix can receive multiple types of documentation. You can decide which types you want to receive by whitelisting specific document types. Learn more about the document types supported by Glassix here.
