Web Security
Security Statement – November 30, 2005
Through Commodore Bank’s leading technology partners, we provide a secure environment for
Internet Banking. Our partners are required to take proactive
steps to ensure that the systems that they own or participate in
contain adequate security measures to prevent the possibility of
unintended distribution of confidential information and the
potential for fraud-related losses. Our Internet Banking Service
Bureau runs on a robust Windows NT operating system. State of
the art firewall technology is the first line of defense in
preventing unauthorized access to any information housed.
Included in this operating system is the capacity to allow only
secure connections by end users. Utilizing Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology, transmissions of web pages and data between
Commodore Bank and its customers are completely encrypted and
are unreadable to any person or group trying to "intercept" the
transmission. SSL encryption is the industry standard and is
commonly used in Internet applications that require security and
privacy for sensitive data.
Passwords: Before customers access
the Internet Banking Service Bureau, they are required to enter
their user ID and password. Without the proper login,
individuals cannot see or use any web pages within this Internet
Banking product.
Account Number Masking and Account Aliases: For
security reasons, complete account numbers never appear on the
computer screen. When the account number needs to be displayed
it appears as ###123456 instead of 123456789. Commodore Bank has
the flexibility to determine how many digits are "unmasked".
Masking will always occur from the left. Account "aliases" are
user-defined titles for the customer's accounts, (e.g., "My
Checking"), and are used when displaying account information on
the screen.
Secure Connection: When consumers are accessing the
online information, their connection is automatically converted
into a secure Internet communications session.
Data Encryption:
When customers access their account information or any other
sensitive data, an encryption system is automatically activated
to protect the transmission of information from unauthorized
sources.
The relative infancy of the Internet as a broad-based
communication medium when combined with the "open" nature of the
Internet make it impossible to guarantee absolute
confidentiality in all circumstances. However, Commodore Bank
and its technology partners continue to monitor and review
security procedures to protect customer information. We are
committed to providing only the safest operating environment.
All of our measures are updated as practices change and new
technology becomes available.
