How Secure Is My Data?

A portfolio monitoring program should include the electronic transfer of trading data to a secure server, accessible only to select individuals at legal counsel’s office. Obviously, a fund’s trading data is highly personal and should only be transferred to a site with appropriate security measures.

Highlights of Security Measures Adopted by
Robbins Geller Portfolio Monitoring ProgramSM

   

Physical Security

  • Secure data center at redIT in San Diego, California
  • redIT is protected by a sophisticated closed-circuit television system, a long-term digital storage system for video surveillance, and a state-of-the-art bio-metric scanner access and security
  • Keyless access to server cabinets offers a new level of proactive management allowing remote monitoring and logging of personnel access
  • 24 hour data center operators get notification of security breaches, and monitoring of cabinet door latches
  • The FM-200 system is designed to extinguish a fire in ten seconds or less, potentially saving millions of dollars in equipment, valuable assets, and lost production time

Network and Login Security

  • Firewall technology with Cisco PIX hardware
  • Stateful packet inspection technology
  • Adaptive security algorithm (ASA)
  • Private internet addressing
