F9Analytics® chose to dispose of the 1024-bit key declaration from their system, and instituted a 2048-bit key SSL cipher with SHA-2 and Perfect Forward Secrecy.

What does this security upgrade mean for both current and future clients interested in its cloud services? According to its CEO and Founder John J. Cona "It means that our clients have confidence in a firm that continues to not only push the boundaries of solving real world problems for businesses in the cloud, but also pushes the boundaries of delivering solutions that provide businesses the confidence in knowing their data is secure."

F9Analytics® has chosen to follow the direction of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as defined in their Special Publication 800-52, April 2014, whereby implementation of "Cipher suites using ephemeral DH and ephemeral ECDH (i.e., those with DHE or ECDHE in the second mnemonic) provide perfect forward secrecy, ensuring long-term confidentiality of the session. Furthermore, NIST notes that "While support of these cipher suites is not required by these guidelines, it is strongly recommended."
