Haystax for Public Safety

Law enforcement professionals are called upon daily to perform a broad range of tasks—from routine patrols, intelligence gathering and investigations to major crime and incident responses. Their challenge is to ensure public safety despite incomplete intelligence, limited cross-jurisdictional information sharing, and tight budgets. Haystax helps law enforcement agencies prepare for and respond to any crisis with a dynamic picture of emerging threats, rapid  intelligence-collection and incident-reporting tools, and a seamlessly integrated user environment that  ensures maximum collaboration and analytically sound command decisions for rapid response.

Haystax for Enterprise Security

Haystax has developed a suite of applications designed specifically to help corporate security decision-makers and analysts navigate this challenging environment. Haystax alerts corporate leaders to their most likely threats and natural hazards, provides critical security and operational information about each physical facility, regardless of its size or geographic location, and allows risk managers to identify and mitigate their biggest vulnerabilities. Moreover, the Haystax platform enables security teams to manage incidents and major events—from the ops center or out in the field.

Equipped with these insights, CSOs can better anticipate their risks, communicate with leadership and limit their company’s exposure to financial, legal and reputational liabilities.

Haystax Product Update: Security Enhancements

August 13, 2019

As the Haystax Analytics Platform is deployed to a growing number of organizations, we continuously roll out new platform-wide security enhancements to meet their unique IT security requirements.

In our latest product release, for example, customer options for password management, logins, cookies and user sessions have been expanded

Complexity rules for passwords may now be set for each tenant — based on the customer’s specific requirements — thereby providing fine-grained control over the acceptance of a password set by any user in that tenant when they log in for the first time, as well as for password resets.

Configurable password settings include:

  • Character complexity (e.g., lowercase/uppercase letters, numbers, special characters, etc.).
  • Minimum and maximum lengths, in characters.
  • Minimum and maximum lifetimes, in days.
  • Whether or not to securely store password history.
  • A rule requiring the user to alter at least eight characters in a reset password.

In another enhancement, users may now reset their passwords from their Profile page, rather than just on the login screen.

Security settings may also be configured for:

  • The maximum number of failed login attempts allowed.
  • The timespan for failed logins before a user is automatically locked out.
  • The timespan for user session and tenant-admin session timeouts, in minutes.

Leaving any of the above settings blank is also an option, which means that particular complexity rule won’t be applied in the tenant.

Finally, secure cookies and other session settings have been altered to ensure security on passing data in sessions and cookies that are stored on the user’s browser.
