The PerfectShare service provide the security infrastructure necessary for customers to feel confident about placing sensitive information online for secure collaboration among employees, suppliers, customers and partners. Physical SecurityOur data center has a high level of security, guarded by 24/7/365 digital surveillance. The closed circuit cameras throughout the data center monitor both the interior and exterior facilities around-the-clock. Keycard locks on all the paths to sensitive areas and biometric palm scans, restrict the access of unauthorized personnel. PerfectShare uses two facilities. One is located within a carrier-class data center located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The other is InterNap within the Equinix data center in Chicago, Illinois. Both facilities use multiple control mechanisms to ensure the highest level of physical security. These facilities are state-of-the-art data centers that provide a highly secure physical infrastructure, including the latest in biometric authentication, video surveillance, and around-the-clock security officers. The centers are engineered to eliminate any single point of failure, with multiple layers of redundancy in power systems, HVAC, and fire detection and suppression. All systems are monitored 24x7 through a Network Operations Center (NOC). Specific security measures include multi stage key card access and then hand geometry readers to prevent card key theft. All visitors to the datacenters must check in and out of the facility. The goal is to provide maximum redundancy in every facet of the datacenter environment to facilitate 100% uptime for every PerfectShare account. Environmental conditions are kept optimal through sophisticated power conditioning systems, redundant air conditioning units, UPS battery backup, diesel generators, and gas-based fire suppression systems. All servers are housed in locking cabinets within locked cages. User AuthenticationEach user must login with a secure user name and password. At the server level, the passwords are stored in an undecryptable format. (SHA2) . Users cannot see other users. Also, users see only that content to which you specifically grant access. User Activity & File Tracking LoggingAll activity and every transaction is recorded to the Activity Log. Typically, your PerfectShare account will record, all logins, all uploads and downloads, file viewing, folder creation, file movement from folder to folder, user creation, IP addresses, and numerous other activities. Secure CommunicationsFull 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is employed during all communications with your PerfectShare account. SSL protects passwords and data during transmission across the public Internet by never transmitting data in “clear” text. |
