Shared Services

Managing information system security is a priority for every organization. In fact, the level of security provided by software vendors has become a differentiating factor for IT purchase decisions. Quest strives to meet standards designed to provide its customers with their desired level of security as it relates to privacy, confidentiality, integrity and availability.

This document describes the security features of Quest On Demand core services such as the On Demand Notification Service and other shared services. This includes access control, protection of customer data, secure network communication, and cryptographic standards.
