Security
Your transactions
are absolutely safe. Georgia Commerce works with cutting-edge technology
partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible
for our valued customers. We offer you worry-free Internet banking.
You can be completely confident of the following security measures:
Secure
Communications
Our system ensures that data-exchanged between your PC and our computers
are encrypted with 128-bit encryption – the strongest encryption
available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers
(SSL), which utilizes mathematical formulas to ‘encrypt’
or hide information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally,
if SSL detects that data was added or deleted after you sent it
to the bank, the connection will be severed in order to guard against
any tampering. The most popular browsers have the SSL security feature
included. How can you tell if your browser is secure? Click

Secure
Environment
Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It
is isolated from the network via a ‘firewall.’ A firewall
is a combination of software and hardware products that designate
parameters, and control and limit the access that outside computers
have to the banks’ internal networks and databases. You can
feel secure knowing that our firewall protects your personal information
from unauthorized access.
Secure
Login
User IDs and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored
on Georgia Commerce’s computer. This way, the passwords and
IDs can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet.
Additionally, user passwords can vary from six to ten characters,
which means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than
one in one billion! The system also checks for invalid logins and
automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This
prohibits the ‘hacker’ from gaining access to our system,
thus protecting your accounts.
Your
Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important
security measures: your password. When you receive your Georgia
Commerce Internet Banking password, be sure to keep it a secret.
Memorize it, or write it down and keep it in a safe place. It is
not recommended you carry your password in your purse or wallet.
Make sure no one watches you enter your password and always close
your browser when leaving the computer. Make sure you regularly
scan your computer for viruses that could be used to capture password
keystrokes. You ultimately hold the key to your password security.
