job is to secure your data. While most traditional backup systems do a good job of archiving data, they do little to actually secure it. A ZIP cartridge, CD or tape can easily be misplaced or stolen. Once in the wrong hands, your confidential data is easily compromised. Fortunately, the HCSProtectIt Remote Backup Service does not suffer from these shortcomings. We secure your data through a combination of: Prior to leaving your PC, all of your valuable data is encrypted. By employing military-grade encryption technology, we make it virtually impossible for anybody to read your data - even if they were somehow able to physically intercept it. The data leaving your PC is completely protected at all times. Our PC client software offers you the choice of six different encryption algorithms including DES, TDES (triple DES), AES 128, AES 192, AES 256 and Blowfish with a variable length key of up to 448 bits. You alone are responsible for selecting and securing a private encryption key (password.) This key is loaded into the encryption software and used to backup or restore your data from the offsite data storage vault. Without the key, nobody can read your data - not even the employees of HCSProtectIt. The HCSProtectIt data vault is a purpose-built computer server. This server performs only one function - securing your data. Operating system software is mirrored on dual 9Gb disk drives. Your encrypted data files are stored on a Raid-5 storage array equipped with a hot standby disk drive, which is automatically activated in the event of a hard disk failure. Critical system components - including the power supply - are all spared onsite. Sophisticated network port blocking and packet filtering techniques are used to prevent unauthorized access to the server. All failed attempts to access the server are logged and reviewed by the system administrator. Remote administration of the server is performed using remote terminal software over an encrypted management link. End users do NOT have an operating system account on the server and can perform no tasks other than backup and restoration of encrypted data files.
