Firewalls
A firewall acts as a barrier between internal and external computers in a network, controlling the flow of information between the two. When a computer outside the firewall wishes to communicate with a computer inside, it must communicate with the firewall, which then passes the data to the internal computer. This two-step process helps protect PROVEN Bank’s internal network from unauthorised access.
Security Audits
PROVEN Bank is committed to ensuring our security measures are of the highest of standards. We have, therefore, employed an external auditing firm to perform regular security audits against of our infrastructure to ensure we are not exposed to new vulnerabilities in hardware and software.
Digital Certificates
To help ensure the security of your account information, we use a system involving Digital Identification Certificates from third-party providers of digital authentication products and services. Digital certificates provide the means of verifying the identity of each party in an electronic transmission. Through the use of a digital certificate, you can verify that you are actually transacting with PROVEN Bank companies when you transmit personal or financial information to us through our website.
