256 bits SSL encryption key
Each user is identified by a unique username and given a temporary password. All users have to change their password on first login, and the default password strength enforces a “strong” password policy.
Each and every request made to our servers is authenticated to verify the user’s identity, and whether the user has the appropriate permissions to execute the requested action. Only if these checks successfully pass, does the request get passed to the main application for execution.
All confidential data is encrypted using strong, industry standard encryption protocols.
