• Scalable and redundant network and server infrastructure.
• Redundant fiber optic (high bandwidth) connections to multiple independent Tier 1 backbone networks.
• Real-time network, server and application monitoring.
• Firewall and router technology, SSL Encryption and a Network Intrusion Detection System that monitors and proactively blocks worms, hackers, and other undesirables.
• Log files are retained and analyzed for proactive monitoring of network activity.

Server Security

Application Security

• User authentication is controlled via unique and valid username and password combination that is encrypted using one way hash. (When users submit their username and password via One-Way Hash to Central Desktop, a unique digital signature (or fingerprint) is created, which in turn identifies and authenticates the sender and the contents of the message.)

• 256 bit AES High Grade Encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects your data using both server authentication and data encryption.
• Central Desktop does not use "cookies" to store other confidential information and have implemented advanced security methods based on dynamic data and encoded session IDs.

Data Security

• Application security model prevents customer data cross-over and ensures complete customer data segregation and privacy.
• Customer data is segmented from the Application layer providing additional security buffers.
• Customers can download a zipped file export of their data at anytime.
• System-wide backups of all data to disk are performed daily.
• Offsite backups of all data are performed daily.
