Firewalls filter and safeguard web traffic, automatically updated virus protection is installed on all servers and workstations, and each system maintains logs of all network and system activity for later use.
Reinforced concrete walls protect our main facility, which has been classified as a Category 5 bunker facility. The building was erected twenty-two feet above ground and a series of pumps prevents water damage. The exterior walls are made of reinforced concrete, honeycomb steel mesh covers the windows and roll-down doors made of steel are installed on every entry.
