Encryption – uses Federally approved encryption levels Class A Data Center 3 Tiers of Passwords: username, password, secret key

Security

The simple truth is that your data is safer than online banking!

myRestore uses a higher level of encryption than most online banking transmissions. Before any file leaves your computer, the data is encrypted using 448 bit encryption levels. Blowfish is a Federally Approved level of encryption.

Because your files are encrypted with a "secret key" that you choose, only you have the ability to descramble your data.

Encryption is used in all aspects of the solution: communication, storage on server, storage on client and USER authentication. Secure card access, 24/7 surveillance cameras and mirrored sites deliver unprecedented levels of protection.

Who can access my data? - You. You. And only You! Several criteria including three layers of authentication must be met in order to access your account in the vault.

How secure is this service compared to tapes? - myRestore is much more secure than tape backups. myRestore encrypts your data before it leaves your machine. Many tape procedures don’t encrypt the data, allowing for foul play if the tape ended up in the wrong hands (ie. disgruntled employee, competition, etc...). Our service also moves your data off-site faster. Because your data is secured to an off-site vault, there’s also no need to worry about changing tapes or the tape running out in the middle of a backup.

How secure is the facility?
The bank-like vault which stores your data is protected by several physical layers of security. Four outside video cameras span the parking lot and outside of the datacenter. Inside the facility 2 internal ceiling mount video cameras monitor the exits and hallways on 24hr tape. Human access throughout the building is controlled by Picture ID Proximity Cards. The access log files for the building entry, hallways, staircase and room are recorded and monitored daily. The datacenter also has an advanced fire suppression system and is fully monitored by a Fike model 10-052 fire alarm with 16 sensors.
