Bezpečnosť HireHop – Ako HireHop chráni vaše údaje

Secure rental softwareNa bezpečnosti nám záleží rovnako ako vám a robíme to dobre. HireHop používa automatizované nástroje na monitorovanie výkonu služby pre problémy 24 hodín denne, 7 dní v týždni, bez dní voľna. Naše servery majú kompletnú nepretržitú bezpečnosť a údržbu s pokročilým monitorovaním, aby sa predišlo narušeniam špičkových technológií.

HireHop je hosťovaný na Amazon Web Services (AWS), čo je svetový najväčšia globálna infraštruktúra pre dáta a servery v hodnote okolo 3 biliónov USD; infraštruktúru takej veľkosti si nemohla dovoliť ani najväčšia svetová požičovňa. AWS používa NASA, banky, veľké spoločnosti a vlády na celom svete vďaka špičkovej bezpečnosti a službám, ktoré poskytuje.

Vaše údaje sú chránené a súkromné

Využívame mnohé z pokročilých bezpečnostných opatrení AWS, aby sme zachovali súkromie a ochranu všetkých vašich údajov. HireHop tiež každý rok prechádza a prechádza penetračnými testami (perové testy), čo znamená etickými hackermi pokúste sa preniknúť do systému, aby ste našli zraniteľné miesta, a prejdite okolo nás, len keď budú mať pocit, že sme v bezpečí.

Ubezpečili sme sa, že naše databázové servery sú chránené za pokročilými bránami firewall, takže aj v mimoriadne nepravdepodobnom prípade, že sa hackerovi podarí získať prihlasovacie údaje pre naše servery, stále nebudú môcť získať prístup kvôli bránam firewall.

Pripojenia k službe HireHop sú zabezpečené

HireHop používa vrstvu zabezpečených soketov (SSL, tiež známu ako HTTPS) s technológiou 128-bitového šifrovania . SSL chráni používateľov pred útokmi typu man-in-the-middle, ktoré môžu byť spustené z kompromitovaných alebo nezabezpečených sietí, a overuje to pri prihlásení do HireHops, nie ste presmerovaní na falošnú stránku.

HireHop používa dvojstupňové prihlásenie chránené heslom s obmedzenými pokusmi, ktoré sú vynútené pomocou čas vypršal. To vás chráni pred útokmi hrubou silou, pri ktorých hacker zaplaví náš server požiadavkami na prihlásenie, aby sa pokúsil zistiť, aké je vaše heslo.

Nikdy nezabudnete na zálohovanie údajov

HireHop vykonáva automatické denné zálohy, ako aj živé zálohy na serveroch umiestnených po celom svete, takže ak dôjde ku katastrofe v jednej krajine, vaše aktuálne údaje sú v prípade potreby dostupné aj v inej krajine.

HireHop má aj lokálne živé zálohy, ako aj ochranu proti pádu s replikáciami v iných AWS zóny dostupnosti. To znamená, že získate pohodlie pri HireHop zálohovaní a údržbe údajov bez námahu a náklady na to, aby ste to zvládli sami. Ak niektorý server vypadne, automaticky sa spustí iný server a nahradí ho, čím získate maximálnu možnú dobu prevádzkyschopnosti.

Chránime vás pred robotmi

HireHop automaticky zamietne používateľovi prístup, ak má pocit, že robot odosiela alebo požaduje údaje v mene užívateľa. Táto dodatočná vrstva ochrany zabraňuje robotom poškodiť alebo extrahovať vaše údaje v prípade úniku prihlasovacích údajov jedného z vašich používateľov. Funkcia HireHop tiež odhlási používateľa, ak sa ten istý používateľský účet pokúsi prihlásiť do iného a uistite sa, že nenecháte otvorený prístup na inom počítači. Viacfaktorovú autorizáciu (MFA) môžete použiť aj v HireHop, a to tak, že ju využijete s prihlásením Google, Xero alebo Microsoft.

Ceníme si súkromie

HireHop zabudováva súkromie do všetkého, čo robíme, pretože takto sa rozhodujeme rešpektovať našich zákazníkov. Dodržiavame prísny súbor pokynov a postupov na ochranu všetkých vašich súkromných informácií a údajov a nebudeme predávať, prenajímať ani zdieľať vaše informácie s tretími stranami na ich propagačné účely. Pre úplné zverejnenie našich postupov ochrany osobných údajov si prečítajte náš Vyhlásenie o ochrane osobných údajov.

HireHop je k dispozícii 24 hodín denne, 7 dní v týždni

HireHop je za posledné tri roky k dispozícii vo viac ako 99,9 % prípadov. Je to preto, že sa spoliehame na redundantné servery a samoopravné systémy detekcie chýb. To znamená, že ak bude jeden server ovplyvnený alebo nedostupný, vaša služba to pravdepodobne neovplyvní, pretože sa automaticky spustí iný server, ktorý vám umožní pristupovať k vašim údajom online bez ohľadu na to, kde a kedy.

Vy určujete pravidlá

Môžete ovládať, ktorí používatelia môžu pristupovať k vašim údajom, čo môžu vidieť a čo môžu robiť. Každý používateľ v kategórii HireHop podlieha rôznym vami nastaveným povoleniam, ktoré vám umožňujú obmedziť práva každého užívateľa. Môžete dokonca obmedziť používateľa, aby sa mohol prihlásiť iba z určitej adresy IP, ako je adresa vo vašej kancelárii, čím sa zabráni prihláseniu mimo pracoviska.

Všetci sú braní na zodpovednosť

HireHop zaznamenáva prakticky každú transakciu vykonanú používateľom, ktorú nemožno vypnúť ani odstrániť . HireHop zaznamenáva každé prihlásenie používateľa a vždy, keď je to možné, zaznamenáva zmeny vykonané používateľa, ktorý vám poskytne podrobný audit trail.

Rigging Weight Loading Calculations for Multipoint Suspension of a straight truss

HireHop is probably the best and most feature rich cloud rental Equipment software, however it also has a resource for users to market their products for free to potential customers on HireHop‚s equipment rental portal. As it has been a popular source for customers to source their hired rigging equipment, we decided to give some advice for when hiring motors and truss, as you need to know the rigging weight loading calculations involved.

Lets take an imaginary scenario that a rigger has suspended a truss on it’s two end points, each motor is rated at 500kg, however the evenly distributed load on the truss is 1,300kg, so the rigger attaches a third 500kg rated motor to pickup the centre of the truss. Thinking with 3 motors rated at 500kg each there would be no problem, to his dismay, the truss comes crashing down, centre point first.

The reason this didn’t work in our imaginary scenario is due to multi-point beam load calculations that he failed to account for.  The rigger in this case incorrectly assumed that the three motors would share the load between them equally and didn’t take into account the Three Moment Theorem.  This is a very complex formula, however to simplify matters, we have illustrated simplified various rigs below and shown the various loads as percentages of the entire load at each point.

As you can see from the top image with two points, each point carries 50% of the load.  If you look at the one below with 3 points you will see that the centre point supports 62% of load and outer points only support 19% of the load.  Applying that to what happened to our rigger:

Load = 1,300Kg
Each Outer Point = 0.19 x 1300 = 247Kg per point (19% of the load)
Centre Point = 0.62 x 1300 = 806Kg on centre point (62% of the load)

As you can see, the 500Kg centre point was overloaded at 806Kg and thus collapsed.  What the rigger should have done is put up 2 extra motors:

Load = 1,300Kg
Each Outer Point = 0.13 x 1300 = 169Kg per point
Centre Points = 0.37 x 1300 = 481Kg per point

For our scenario, ideally the rigger should use 5 points to give himself a larger margin of error, as with 4 points there is only a 19Kg margin on the centre points.

IMPORTANT

  • It is very important to note that the above is for an evenly distributed load and that the motors are all moving at the same speed.  If for example on a three point pickup the centre motor moved faster than the outer two motors, the entire weight would be taken up on the centre motor with the outer two going slack.
  • It is not advised to rely on the above when using manual chain blocks as these never climb at the same speed. For a manual chain block, each block should be able to support the entire load.
  • Please remember to include the weight of the truss and all fixtures when calculating the load.
  • If you are calculating the load on the points above the motor, remember to add the weight of the motor to each point.
  • The mathematics is theoretical in an ideal world and factors can be different in the real world, so always include an error margin and never get too close to the maximum loading.

Software for Hire Companies – How it can help your Business

Rental Management Software such as HireHop provide an efficient and comprehensive solution to the management of Hire Stock for corporations of all sizes:

Using rental management software makes it easy for employees to work together and keep track of each others progress or status on particular tasks. It enables teams to work together on jobs from any location, share information, documents and updates, as well as integrate with your email accounts and calendars – increasing communication and user responsibility.

Easy to use

Importantly, software for hire companies should be easy to use for all employees, from project managers to warehouse staff, allowing the focus to be on the important tasks at hand in an often time-pressured environment.

Benefits of being in the Cloud

“In March 2017 the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) revealed that the overall cloud adoption rate in the UK now stands at 88%, with 67% of users expecting to increase their adoption of cloud services over the coming year”, UK Cloud Snapshot Survey 2017.
