Website Security

At Aster Capital, Inc. we employ various technologies to insure our client's information is protected at all times. We appreciate the sensitive nature of the information provided by our clients, and we strive to provide a level confidence by making website security a high priority. We follow rigid procedures in a comprehensive, pro-active approach to ensure information security through the use of firewalls and appropriate encryption.

Firewalls and E-mail Filters

Our host servers also employ an advanced "firewall system" for enhanced security and privacy. This technology is designed to protect our network resources and deny access to information being provided by our clients. Firewall applications are one of the pro-active approaches we employ to safeguard against unauthorized intrusions and access to sensitive information.

Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) Utilization

SSL Encryption is a method by which data transmitted over the Internet is "encoded" such that only the recipient can make use of the information sent. SSL Encryption is utilized by all major financial institutions as a strict form of security. 128-bit encryption, one of the most secure forms of SSL encryption available, is employed for appropriate data transfers on the Aster host servers. All major Internet browsers (such as Netscape Navigator® or Microsoft® Internet Explorer) support 128-bit encryption applications.

Aster also employs a variety of specialized application filters as an additional safe-guard in our technology deployment strategies to insure confidentiality and the protection of our company's, and client's, sensitive data. Our clients can be assured that we employ on-going vigilance in addressing the security issues that are critical in utilizing electronic systems to facilitate the delivery of our services.
