Security and connection options

‍

System integrations face a fundamental security challenge: each enterprise system implements its own authentication protocol, often requiring frequent credential updates. For example, access tokens might need rotation every hour in one system, while another demands daily updates, and a third uses entirely custom timing. This creates a complex web of authentication requirements that must be continuously managed.

Stacksync simplifies this by handling all authentication protocols automatically. The platform supports a comprehensive range of secure connection methods:

‍

Authentication & Access Control

• OAuth2 for secure delegated access
• API Bearer tokens for simplified authentication
• IAM Authentication (Cloud SQL Proxy, etc.)
• Cloud service account management
• IP whitelisting for access control

‍

Network & Infrastructure Security

• SSL certificates for encrypted and authenticated connections
• SSH Tunneling through Jumpbox / Bastion Host
• High Availability VPN tunnels
• Enterprise Network Private Connection
• VPC Peering (for GCP, AWS, and Azure)
• AWS Transit Gateway
• Private Link (for GCP, AWS, and Azure)

For organizations interested in implementing advanced security measures like SSH tunneling through jumpboxes, comprehensive setup guides are available for major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Windows Server on-premise. These guides walk through the specific requirements and configurations needed for each environment.

By abstracting away these authentication complexities, development teams can focus on building business value rather than maintaining security infrastructure.
