NVI Website Security Policy
Website Security Measures
The National Vaccine Institute (hereinafter referred to as “the Institute”) recognizes the importance of website security in protecting user data from destruction, unauthorized access, or malicious intrusion.
Therefore, the Institute has implemented security measures utilizing high-level data security standards known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This technology employs 128-bit encryption to secure data transmitted over the internet. This applies to every financial transaction conducted through the Institute network, ensuring that any data intercepted during transmission cannot be deciphered or used by unauthorized parties.
Encryption serves as the primary method for data security, which users can verify by observing the protocol prefix https:// in the URL address.
Additional Security Technologies
In addition to the general security measures and procedures mentioned above, the Institute utilizes the following advanced technologies to protect your personal information:
-
Firewall: A software system that functions as a security barrier, allowing only authorized personnel or those approved by the Institute to pass through to access data.
-
Virus Scanning: In addition to installing high-performance, regularly updated anti-virus software on all service computers, the Institute has also implemented specific virus scanning software on the servers.
-
Cookies: These are small computer files that store necessary temporary data on the user’s computer to facilitate convenient and fast communication. However, the Institute highly values user privacy and generally avoids the use of cookies. If the use of cookies is deemed necessary, the Institute will carefully consider it, prioritizing the security and privacy of the user above all else.
-
Auto Log-off: Users should log off every time they finish using the services of the Institute. In the event that a user forgets to log off, the system will automatically log off within an appropriate time frame determined for each service to ensure the user’s security.
Security Recommendations
Although the Institute employs high-standard technologies and security measures to prevent unauthorized access to your personal or confidential information as mentioned above, it is generally acknowledged that no security system currently exists that can guarantee absolute protection against data destruction or unauthorized access.
Therefore, users are advised to adhere to the following security recommendations:
Exercise Caution with Downloads: Be cautious when downloading programs from the internet. Always verify the correctness of the website address (URL) before logging in to prevent falling victim to phishing or spoofed websites.
Install Antivirus Software: Users should install antivirus software on their devices and ensure that the software is regularly updated to the latest version.
Enable a Personal Firewall: Install a personal firewall to protect your computer from attacks by malicious actors, such as crackers or hackers.
