What is ACS?

• Advanced Connection Security (ACS) is a secure way of communicating between Functionize - the infrastructure which is running your automated tests, and your  environment

How ACS Works

• ACS uses an industry leading secure connection provider (Tailscale) to establish a zero trust secure connection
• ACS specifically allows for the establishing of a wireguard protocol based VPN tunnel, which secures all communications necessary to facilitate test execution for systems under test internal to the customer environment. 

Who Needs To Facilitate ACS Install

• End Users
  • To set up tests and fill out necessary test settings, after onboarding
• Security Administrators
  • To allow the setup of the necessary ACS client (security review)
• System Administrators (IT Operations)
  • To fill out the ACS Systems questionnaire
  • To setup the necessary ACS client (facilitated through an onboarding meeting with Functionize DevOps)
