Security Statement
Security
Your transactions are absolutely safe. Boone County Bank works with cutting-edge
technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made
possible for our valued customers. We offer you worry-free Internet
banking. You can be completely confident of the following security
measures:
Secure Communications
Our system ensures that data-exchanged between your PC and our computers
are encrypted with 128-bit encryption – the strongest encryption available.
Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL), which
utilizes mathematical formulas to ‘encrypt’ or hide information from
prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL detects that data
was added or deleted after you sent it to the bank, the connection
will be severed in order to guard against any tampering. The most popular
browsers have the SSL security feature included. How can you tell if
your browser is secure? Click Here Secure Environment
Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It is
isolated from the network via a ‘firewall.’ A firewall is a combination
of software and hardware products that designate parameters, and control
and limit the access that outside computers have to the banks’ internal
networks and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our firewall
protects your personal information from unauthorized access.
Secure Login
User IDs and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored
on Boone County Bank’s computer. This way, the passwords and IDs can
never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally,
user passwords can vary from seven to sixteen characters, with at least
one alpha and numeric character required, which means the chance of
randomly guessing a password is less than one in one billion! The system
also checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a user after
three invalid attempts. This prohibits the ‘hacker’ from gaining access
to our system, thus protecting your accounts.
Your Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important security
measures: your password. When you receive your Boone County Bank Online
Banking password, be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it, or write
it down and keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended you carry
your password in your purse or wallet. Make sure no one watches you
enter your password and always close your browser when leaving the
computer. Make sure you regularly scan your computer for viruses that
could be used to capture password keystrokes. You ultimately hold the
key to your password security. |
