Quick word about connectivity. While you can set up Private Links to cloud providers, sometimes we feel “safer” because we use a VPN and are protecting from outside actors. However, in a Zero Trust model, we should never assume our own network is safe. The best explanation I’ve heard is you’re sitting at dinner with your family and some man walks into the kitchen, grabs a beer from the refrigerator, and heads to the living room. The wife asks, “Do we know him?” and the legacy network admin husband replies, “Well, he’s in the house - so he must be safe.”
I have seen companies set up a VPN to Azure and when they were hit with malware, the Epicor servers were hit too. Use the cloud as a way to protect your business system from your LAN. I am not aware of a single Epicor SaaS customer whose Epicor system was hit by malware.
