Overview

Lingoport works to provide customers with a reliable service that safeguards private information. We implement various security-centric policies in support of these principles. Lingoport’s security standards have been built to support the security conscious, including customers in industries such as Human Resources, Finance, and Medical Systems.

For more details on any of these, please see Lingoport Security Overview.

Typical Deployment of the Lingoport Suite and Ports

Setting up the Lingoport Suite on a customer's system can be done in many ways. The following is a generalized diagram to show the necessary access to the system. The central system is the Continuous Globalization Server which has the Lingoport Products installed on it and accesses those products and their reports using Jenkins and the Lingoport Dashboard.

  • The code repository needs to be able to read and write from the Continuous Globalization Server. This is done through the Jenkins jobs and Lingobot. The code repository contains the code to be scanned by Globalyzer for localization issues and the resource files to be sent and returned from translation.
  • The Continuous Globalization Server needs to be able to access the Globalyzer rulesets that are located either on our hosted server or on a local server. Several security enhancements have been implemented for the Lingoport Globalyzer Server.
    • Our password encryption algorithm uses bcrypt
    • Forgot password performs a password reset rather than a retrieval
    • We guard against clickjacking and directory/path traversal attacks.
    • Our version of Tomcat enables some of these security features.
  • The Continuous Globalization Server needs to be able to send and receive resource files with the Translation Management System.
  • Additionally, there are administrative needs for the Continuous Globalization Server to be able to access Jenkins plugins, SMTP email, and SSH access.

Ports

  • Jenkins is accessed via
    • port 80 or 443
    • port 8080 if installed prior to May 2018
  • Lingoport Dashboard is accessed via
    • port 80 or 443
    • port 9000 if installed prior to May 2018
  • The Translation Vendor may be accessed by different means, for instance
    • port 21 for FTP or
    • port 22 for SFTP.
    • Other ports for different vendors
  • Access for the Lingoport (or internal) installation team is recommended to be done over SSH / via PuTTY. Screen sharing applications can be used, but they can be much slower.
  • The system must be able to access https://www.globalyzer.com if the Globalyzer rulesets are on Lingoport's hosted server.

Other aspects

  • Jenkins installation requires access to the Jenkins update site, http://updates.jenkins-ci.org
  • Notifications are sent using an SMTP account: The system must allow access to an SMTP server (e.g. smtp.gmail.com for Google)
  • The Continuous Globalization Server can be deployed in the Cloud using an Amazon AWS virtual system. For more detail on this option please see AWS Security.

FAQ

Can other customers see our rulesets and information on Globalyzer.com ?

How often is security testing done on the code or the systems?

Is data transferred between the customer and the Continuous Globalization System securely? What about between the Continuous Globalization System and the translation vendors?

How do you document security for third-party applications?

For Services customers, how do you ensure that the code and company information is secure?

How are security issues and concerns handled within the company?

How does Lingoport monitor an AWS VM for security issues ( logins, invalid logins, data transfers, etc)?

Has Lingoport had any security breaches?

Please send any security inquiries or reports to either support@lingoport.com or security@lingoport.com.

Globalyzer supports the additional security of HTTPS for all data that passes between the Client and the globalyzer.com Server.

L10n Vendor Lingoport FTP Protocol: FTP supports SSH and SSL encryption; The FTP system can allow only some IP ranges to access the FTP port(s)

Machine Learning: to use Machine Learning, you must install H2O.ai to your system. It's an in-memory platform so you don't need to worry about the security of your code and data.
