More About Security Software
To be sure your plan participant account information remains private and secure,
we use proven security software to encrypt the information before it is transmitted
through the Internet. If your browser is not compatible with our security software,
the plan information will not be uploaded to the web site.
Our security software utilizes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption technology,
the strongest currently available. SSL establishes a secure connection between us.
In addition to protecting communications between us, a firewall has been put in
place. A firewall is a security measure that restricts access to our computer system
servers that are not part of the Internet support system. We reinforce our firewall
by monitoring for computer viruses, worms and signs of attempted hacking.
