Security

The se­cur­ity of your per­sonal in­form­a­tion is im­port­ant to us. When you provide sens­it­ive in­form­a­tion to us, we en­crypt the trans­mis­sion of that in­form­a­tion us­ing se­cure socket layer tech­no­logy (SSL).

We fol­low gen­er­ally ac­cep­ted in­dustry stand­ards to pro­tect the per­sonal in­form­a­tion sub­mit­ted to us, both dur­ing trans­mis­sion and once we re­ceive it. No method of trans­mis­sion over the In­ter­net, or method of elec­tronic stor­age, is 100% se­cure. There­fore, we can­not guar­an­tee its ab­so­lute se­cur­ity.

We use Ebix SmartOffice for our CRM

SmartOffice strives to protect your personal information. Ebix CRM’s network offers the highest possible protection using multiple security layers and industry-leading hardware and software solutions. Our network perimeter is protected by multiple Cisco PIX firewalls. Inside those firewalls, Ebix CRM systems are safeguarded by network address translation, port re-direction, IP masquerading, non-routable IP addressing schemes, and other methods. In addition, Ebix CRM has a comprehensive intrusion detection system to guard against network and host attacks. Our security team monitors and analyzes firewall logs and takes quick action when security threats are identified. Industry-leading tools such as Snort, OSSEC, Aanval, and McAfee form the basis of the system, which features frequent intrusion and malware signature updates to ensure the most current level
of protection possible.
