Is your Accuplus® Server Secure?
You have a firewall but still ... are you secure?
First Determine:
Do you have PASSWORDS and DATA being sent in CLEAR TEXT across the INTERNET?
Your network is INSECURE if:
You can telnet to your Accuplus® Server from the internet.
Your customer data is accessible on your web site via http and not https.
You can ftp to your Accuplus® Server from or to the internet.

ftp replacement
USE SFTP, SCP, or RSYNC with SSH - all part of SSH
Securing Email
E-Mail must be encrypted when the content requires it. Never send passwords in unencrypted e-mail.
Most mail clients support GPG or PGP for encrypting e-mail.
