Notes

Data At-Rest Encryption

In order to meet new PCI guidelines, this release of Ubersmith implements data at-rest encryption for database tables related to credit card encryption. This new at-rest encryption is in addition to the data encryption already in place within Ubersmith, and enhances the existing security of the system. The update to your database configuration will be completed automatically as part of the Ubersmith upgrade process.

PLEASE NOTE If you have Ubersmith configured to use an external or managed database, and do not use Ubersmith’s database “container”, enabling at-rest encryption will need to be performed by your database administrator prior to upgrading Ubersmith. MySQL’s documentation on the configuration is available here. If you have questions about this configuration change, or need assistance, please contact Ubersmith Support.

Non-Tokenized Credit Card Gateways Deprecation

Security is a top priority for our clients and as part of our ongoing commitment to improving platform security, we have made the decision to deprecate non-tokenized credit card gateways. These credit card gateways will continue to function in Version 5.1, but will be removed in a future release. If you are currently using a non-tokenized credit card gateways, we recommend planning an upgrade to a tokenized alternative. Our support team will be available to assist you with the migration process and answer any questions you may have.
