Common use of Authentication and Authorization Clause in Contracts

Authentication and Authorization. Accounts on any Host are and will be created on a strictly discretionary basis, with access on most Hosts being restricted solely to Synacor administration staff. Superuser (root) access will only be given through administrative permissions and even more stringently restricted, with no one outside the current Synacor administration staff having access to the passwords. All activities of administrative-level access are logged to a secure location and reviewed and archived on a regular basis. Once accounts are created, Synacor will perform authentication solely via encrypted channels: either TLS (“Transport Layer Security”) or SSH (“Secure Shell”). Access is based on business need and is reviewed on a periodic basis.
