At Weston Analytics we are committed to ensuring the highest standards of security for all users on its platform. 

As part of this ongoing commitment, we are announcing a series of enhancements to our account security measures, set to begin in April and running through to end of June. These updates are designed to provide a secure and reliable experience.

New Security Measures (starting April 16 2024)

• Mandatory Password Updates: All users (except those using Single Sign-On (SSO)) will be required to update their passwords every 90 days. This will ensure that all accounts meet our stringent security standards. Upon login, users will receive a notification that they are required to do this, and an email will be sent to the email address listed with instructions.
• Account Deactivation for Inactive Users: In an effort to streamline user access and maintain a secure platform, the system will automatically deactivate accounts that have not been accessed for more than 90 days. Affected users will receive an email notification informing them of the deactivation and outline the steps to reactivate their account.

These enhancements are part of our proactive approach to security and are informed by an extensive analysis of user account activity. To avoid being caught by this on the 16th April, you can update your password at any point between now and then using the 'Forgot Password' tool on the login screen.  The next time you'll be asked is  90 days after you update it.

Introducing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) (starting April 30 2024)

We will be implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), requiring users to verify their identity by entering a code sent to their email address. This will be rolled out in two phases:

1. Web/Cloud Applications: Starting April 30 2024, 2FA will be introduced for web/cloud-based applications (including the MacRail System, Worksite360, and Fatigue360).
2. Mobile Applications: 2FA will be extended to our mobile apps towards the end of Q1 (April-June 2024). Detailed information about the app specific rollout will be provided closer to time.

All users will need to comply with the 2FA requirement unless they are utilising Single Sign-On (SSO) in which case your own Organisation's rules will apply.

A Commitment to Security:

These updates underscore our dedication to providing a secure, reliable platform for our diverse user base. We understand these changes may require an adjustment period and are committed to supporting our users through this transition. The staggered nature of this implementation will allow us to respond to feedback and make adjustments along the way.
