Additional Portal Security

This month we’ve added even more security measures to the Secure Client and Firm Portals.

Brute Force Protection
A Brute Force Attack is the most widely known password cracking method. This attack simply tries to use every possible character combination as a password. We prevent this from happening by only allowing a few incorrect password attempts before “locking out” the Portal from the potential attacker for a period of time. This process literally prevents someone from randomly guessing your password.

SQL Injection Protection
A SQL and other code injection attacks are popular methods hackers use to try to access valid login credentials. This attack simply injects special database query commands into a web application. These special database queries can allow hackers to get a list of usernames and passwords if the online program is not protected. All of our web forms and applications are protected against SQL Injections schemes through the use of strongly typed input validation.

Token Authentication Scheme
All of the applications inside the Portal are further protected by a highly secure token authentication method that verifies your login credentials every time you access an application inside the portal.

We’ve never had a problem with security because we keep all your online data in a secure guarded datacenter behind multiple layers of firewalls and intrusion detection programs. You can also rest assured that your data is safe because of our proactive security measures like the ones listed above.

If you are not yet using our secure online firm and client portals, I invite you to take a look at this new feature.
