Over 95 percent of the Fortune 100 companies are Syncsort customers, and Syncsort's products are used in more than 50 countries to speed data warehouse processing, improve database loads, speed query processing, and back up and protect data in distributed environments.

Network Security
All of our systems are designed to maintain a quality of service throughout the network by prioritizing packets to maintain an order of precedence of services. Each network device is equipped to filter out DOS attacks. We also offer intelligent, multilayer access control that can be utilized to protect the network from the impact of attacks while reducing the risk of inadvertently discarding legitimate traffic.

  • Intrusion Detection & Dynamic Fire walling - To detect, analyze and react to threats of port scans, DOS and other hacker attempts in real-time.

Physical Security
Our
server's datacenter facilities are manned with 24/7 security personnel. Badge/Photo ID access screening as well as biometric access screening are employed for an added level of security. All visitors are required to pass through multiple levels of security and are required to be escorted at all times. Sensitive security areas within the centers are protected by motion sensors and security breach alarms. Video cameras installed throughout the centers are continuously monitored by security personnel.

Mail Scanning for Viruses and SPAM
All of our Hosting Accounts Feature MailScanner Spam and Virus Protection to protect you and your customers from dangerous viruses and annoying spam.

  • SpamAssassin (tm) - is a mail filter to identify spam.  Using its rule base, it will perform a wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify spam. This will significantly reduce the number of spam emails you will receive.
  • MailScanner - is a complete e-mail security system designed for use on e-mail gateways. It protects against viruses, and detects attacks against e-mail client packages (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora). It can also detect almost all unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) passing through it and respond to all incidents in a wide variety of ways
