Transparency and Trust in a World of Cloud Surveillance, no CrowdStrike

In light of the recent global IT outage caused by a faulty update from CrowdStrike, we at Rynue want to reassure our clients and partners about the measures we take to safeguard your data, uptime, and reliability. This incident has highlighted the risks associated with relying on closed-source software and the importance of knowing where your data resides and who maintains it.

Why Rynue Does Not Use CrowdStrike or Closed-Source Software

At Rynue, we prioritize transparency, security, and control over our systems. Unlike many organizations that depend on proprietary solutions like CrowdStrike and Windows, we exclusively use open-source software, that allows us to modify it to fit the needs of our clients. This approach allows us to:

1. Maintain Full Control: Open-source software gives us complete visibility into the code, enabling us to identify and address potential vulnerabilities promptly, and confirm the security and privacy we promise vs using something where we are unable to audit the code.
2. Ensure Transparency: With open-source solutions, there are no hidden backdoors or undisclosed features. Our clients can trust that their data is handled with the utmost integrity.
3. Foster Community Collaboration: Open-source projects benefit from the collective expertise of a global community, leading to more robust and secure software.

Data Residency and Privacy

We understand the importance of data sovereignty and privacy. All our services are hosted on Canadian soil, ensuring that your data is subject to Canadian privacy laws, which are among the strictest in the world. This means:

• Enhanced Privacy Protections: Your data is protected by Canadian privacy regulations, which prioritize individual rights and data security.
• Local Data Storage: By keeping your data within Canada, we minimize the risks associated with cross-border data transfers and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Rest Assured, Your Data is Safe

The recent CrowdStrike incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with closed-source software. At Rynue, we are committed to providing secure, transparent, and reliable services. Our use of open-source solutions and our dedication to data residency in Canada ensure that your data is safe and will never be compromised.

• Transparency is Essential: Again, we believe in open-source software because it allows for complete transparency and control over the code. This empowers users to understand how their data is being handled and ensures that no hidden vulnerabilities or backdoors exist.
• Data Sovereignty: By hosting our platform on Canadian soil, we ensure that your data remains within Canadian jurisdiction, subject to Canadian laws and regulations. This provides a strong foundation for your privacy and protects your data from potential breaches and misuse.
• Security Through Open Source: Open-source software is continuously reviewed and audited by a global community of developers. This constant scrutiny ensures that vulnerabilities are quickly identified and patched, ultimately leading to a more secure platform, while also giving us access to devs we would normally have to pay for which helps keeps costs down for our clients.

At Rynue, we believe in building a future where technology prioritizes your privacy and security. We encourage you to choose open-source, transparent solutions like ours, where you can be confident that your data is safe, secure, and under your control.

We are committed to building a more secure and trustworthy online world. We invite you to explore our platform and experience the difference transparency and security make.
