SSL

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the industry standard communication protocol used for transferring data securely between two computers on the internet. SSL is widely used by banks, the government and online merchants.

SSL encrypts all the data that is sent between your computer and our servers using 128-bit cryptography. This professional strength algorithm ensures that nobody but you and us can read the information you enter.

Firewalls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"A firewall's basic task is to transfer traffic between computer networks of different trust levels. Typical examples are the Internet which is a zone with no trust and an internal network which is a zone of higher trust. A zone with an intermediate trust level, situated between the Internet and a trusted internal network, is often referred to as a "perimeter network" or Demilitarized zone (DMZ)."

"A firewall's function within a network is similar to firewalls with fire door in building construction. In former case, it is used to prevent network intrusion to the private network. In latter case, it is intended to contain and delay structural fire from spreading to adjacent structures. An analogy of network firewall is a fire-resistance rated wall with a fire-resistance rated, self-closing, solid-core, inside unlockable, outside key-lockable door between a house and its attached garage."

Our company uses firewalls to ensure that once your data is inside our walls no one else can get at it. In addition we do not share your data with anyone outside our company.
