## Overview

Security that comes with the platform, not as an upsell: firewalls on every workload, DDoS protection on every public address, role-based access, and audit trails — on infrastructure that keeps your data in Canada and under your control.

## What's included

- Firewalls on every workload and network
- DDoS protection on all public addresses
- Role-based access and scoped API keys
- Portal and API audit trails
- Data residency you control

## Why teams choose Security

### Security included, not upsold

Firewalls, DDoS protection, role-based access, and audit trails come with the platform rather than as paid add-ons.

### Sovereign by design

Your data stays in the Canadian region you choose, on infrastructure under your control.

### Protection on every public address

DDoS monitoring and protection apply to all public addresses by default.

### Control who can do what

Role-based access and scoped API keys keep permissions tight across your team.

## Security features

Everything you need to build and scale.

### Firewalls on every workload

Apply firewall rules to every workload and network from the portal.

### DDoS protection on public addresses

All public addresses are covered by DDoS protection by default.

### Role-based access control

Grant team members scoped permissions instead of shared all-access credentials.

### Scoped API keys

Issue API keys with limited scope for automation and integrations.

### Portal and API audit trails

Track who did what across the portal and API.

### Data residency you control

Keep your data in Canada, in the region you select.

## How Security compares

See why teams choose ZSoftly Cloud Platform.

| Capability | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| Included with the platform | Core security comes built in rather than billed as separate firewall, WAF, or protection products. |
| DDoS protection by default | Public addresses are protected without an upgrade tier or extra charge. |
| Sovereign Canadian infrastructure | Your data and security controls live in Canada, under your jurisdiction and control. |
| Granular access control | Role-based access and scoped API keys limit blast radius across your team. |
| Real human support | A Canadian team is available to help with security configuration and incidents. |
