MISSION's products includes sophisticated software to alert you about site problems. Just move the mouse over the "alarmed" site to see its status.

Encrypted Website Data
All MISSION customer web pages are secured using "SSL," which
stands for Secure Sockets Layer.
SSL encryption is generally thought of in e-commerce applications.
MISSION chooses to employ the same technology that was developed by the
credit card companies to secure our customers' data.
What this means is that when a Internet browser connects to a server,
the transfer of data between the browser and the server is encrypted
using a 1024 bit key (imagine it like a house key that's about 15 feet
long!). No one except the intended recipient can decode it.
Even if a person intercepted the data packets, the data will be
gibberish to them.
User Access Levels
The MISSION site allows administrators to specify what functions each
of their web users can and cannot do. One of our customers has this set
up in such a way that only an "administrator" login can turn on the remote
generator, but the standard "Read Only" logins do not see that option.
Physical Security
MISSION's redundant servers are protected from unauthorized access using
biometric (fingerprint) scanners, surveillance cameras, and a 24/7 manned
security force.
The building also has dual, redundant Internet connections, on-site
backup power generation, and is fortified to withstand a direct
F-3 tornado
strike.
Hacker Lockout
MISSION keeps detailed logs of both logins and failed attempts at logging
in to the web site. An IP address will be automatically "locked out"
for a period of time if a certain number of logins from that site fail.
Each time an access fails, and when an IP address is locked out due to excess
login attempts, a short email is sent to the technical support group. If the
attempted username and passwords are close to an identifiable person, and
the IP address "makes sense," we will call one of the notification numbers
they have given us and attempt to remind them of their password.
