| SECURITY STATEMENT |
Data security is provided on multiple levels: by firewall, intrusion detection software, network monitoring, application-level.
| Firewall |
A firewall serves as a security gate between the Internet and our network - including the mainframe data. By intercepting Internet data "packets" first, the firewall ensures that only packets permitted by our "rule set" may be passed beyond the public Internet to our secure web commerce server, and ultimately to the Banking application.
| Intrusion Detection |
Intrusion detection software, running on its own server, unobtrusively analyzes data packets to detect patterns of hostile activity, misuse, or malicious code. The intrusion detection system detects intrusion attempts in real time and responds to suspicious activity.
| Network Monitoring |
Firewalls and intrusion detection systems are monitored 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The Internet banking Application and its encrypted data are not available to monitoring personnel.
| Application Level Monitoring |
Unique user codes and passwords identify authorized account holders. The combined effect of the various security systems allow clients to access only areas permitted through the Internet Banking application.
| Contact by the Bank or Affiliated Parties |
No Bank employee or any company affiliated with the Bank will contact you via email or by phone requesting your Internet Banking log in information. If you are contacted or received communication from anyone requesting that information, please do not release any personal identifying information and contact the Bank immediately.
