Security Aspects of CTS Data, Data Flow, and Processes

To protect your production system from unwanted changes or changes with errors, we recommend that you take special care in separating your development system from your production system. Define policies and procedures for making changes and transporting them into your production system. Avoid making changes in your production system.

The following topics discuss what you can do to secure CTS data, data flow, and processes:

• Defining the Transport Process

  The systems involved in the transport process are connected using transport routes. It is important that you have a well-organized transport process.

• Securing Production Operation
  To ensure secure production operation you have various options:

  • Setting system change options
  • Using the TMS Quality Assurance approval procedure
  • Preventing the transport of security-critical objects
  • Defining a process for emergency changes in the production system
