FileMaker 2025 brings a new level of security to both FileMaker Cloud and FileMaker Server, delivering critical enhancements in encryption, SSL handling, and API authentication. These updates are designed to help organizations strengthen data protection and meet stringent compliance requirements, including HIPAA, GDPR, and enterprise-grade security standards.
Whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud, FileMaker 2025 ensures that your sensitive business data stays safe, encrypted, and under your control.
Stronger Encryption and Data Protection
FileMaker 2025 enhances encryption protocols for both data at rest and data in transit. Improved key management and modern cipher support ensure that databases, backups, and network communications maintain top-tier protection.
For organizations managing confidential information—such as healthcare providers, financial institutions, and manufacturers—these encryption upgrades reinforce compliance with global privacy laws and data protection frameworks.
Simplified SSL Management with Let’s Encrypt
Setting up SSL certificates has historically been a challenge for administrators. FileMaker Server 2025 streamlines this process with Let’s Encrypt integration, allowing certificates to be issued and renewed automatically.
This eliminates the need for manual SSL management while ensuring that all connections remain encrypted and compliant with modern browser and network security requirements.
Benefits include:
Automatic SSL issuance and renewal
Reduced configuration errors
Continuous, secure connections across all deployments
Token-Based API Access for Secure Integrations
Both FileMaker Cloud and FileMaker Server now support token-based authentication for API access, replacing static credentials with dynamic, revocable tokens.
This approach enhances integration security by ensuring that credentials:
Expire automatically after a defined period
Can be scoped to specific permissions or resources
Are easily revoked if compromised
Token-based authentication reduces the attack surface and makes it easier to comply with HIPAA and GDPR requirements for data access auditing and control.
Compliance Made Easier
With these security upgrades, FileMaker 2025 provides organizations with a compliance-ready foundation. Key benefits include:
Encrypted data across all layers—storage, transfer, and access
Automated SSL configuration to prevent mismanagement
Secure, auditable API integrations using short-lived tokens
For industries handling sensitive personal or operational data, these improvements simplify compliance management without sacrificing performance or flexibility.
FileMaker 2025’s security enhancements in Cloud and Server reflect Claris’s continued commitment to protecting business-critical information. With improved encryption, automatic SSL handling, and token-based API access, organizations can maintain compliance and operate confidently in highly regulated environments.
