Web Site Security Measures

Cheyenne-Laramie County Employees Federal Credit Union is constantly concerned about our member's critical information and privacy. With this in mind, we have the following security services installed on our Internet server:

Each server is behind a Firewall. This UNIX based hardware product blocks critical ports and IP addresses on servers from external attack and access.
Each server runs proprietary software that constantly monitors the servers for unauthorized use and attempts to "hack" into information. Administrators are contacted when forced attacks are committed, and countermeasures can be applied to stop these instances.
All administrative activity requires user login and authentication. All administrative updates are logged into files that can be reviewed later.
Once the server session is established, the user and the server are in a secured environment. Some application areas use secure communication, which means that they will only allow browsers that support Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL ensures that electronic data communicated between your browser and Cheyenne-Laramie County Employees Federal sites cannot be read by a third party even if the data is intercepted. Cheyenne-Laramie County Employees Federal Credit Union suggests that you use a browser with 128-bit encryption, readily available from manufacturers such as Netscape or Microsoft. You know it is working when you see the lock (in a locked position) appear on your browser window.
All servers come with a Global Verisign Certificate (RSA) for digitally encrypted communications between the Web server and your member. Information passed in applications cannot be decrypted by third parties attempting to "pick" information being passed across the Internet backbone.

All servers run the latest version of Windows Web Server.

E-mail
