Security

Genesys Web Engagement supports HTTPS/SSL/TLS to protect data over the web.

  • All connections can be secured, including connections from the browser to the Web Engagement server.
  • Applications defined in Configuration Server can have both HTTP and HTTPS connections.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is supported above Java containers, Jetty and Apache Tomcat. The user data submitted from the browser tier is always sent through secure connections.

Important
Genesys performs security testing with OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAProxy) to protect the Genesys Web Engagement solution against known vulnerabilities. For details, see Security Testing with ZAProxy.

Genesys Web Engagement includes additional security configurations that can be used with your GWE installation:

Next Steps

After you configure security for Genesys Web Engagement, you can configure features to enable additional functionality.
