Security of Information
One reason why Sea to Sky uses EventsAIR is that it makes security and privacy top priorities. For example, the EventsAIR Internet Registration Module takes advantage of state-of-the-art security systems, which are audited annually, to safeguard our clients’ data and communications. It includes features such as:
- Credit card encryption
- Multiple user security levels
- Detailed change log
- Privacy management
- IP address tracking for online payments
- Automatic potential credit card fraud alert
In addition, the interactive web application has a number of security advantages:
- Web pages are not stored as physical files, making them almost impossible to deface
- Administrative functions are limited by IP address and/or login requirements
- Minimum permissions are used to run the application, which means that in the unlikely event that EventsAir is compromised, the attacker would have virtually zero power beyond interrupting the Interactive webpage itself.
