Transaction Security

Advam places great importance on transaction security and its value to your business.

The security of your transaction data is our priority, so we work hard to continue to deliver one of Australia's most secure transaction processing environments.

 


Packet and Wire Encryption

Every transaction processed by Advam is encrypted using 128 bit SSL encryption and submitted for authorisation under a second layer of similar encryption through Advam's Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Advam utilises Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) to further enhance this security by automatically upgrading the merchant's encryption certificate to 128 bits, irrespective of the level of crypto supported by the client system.


Firewall Security and Intrusion Detection

Advam's entire network is protected using multiple hardware as well as application based firewalls across all network layers.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) operate on a 24x7 basis, monitoring all attempted access to Advam's financial network and generating instant security alerts which are monitored by a member of Advam's support team for immediate action.


Regular
Third Party Audits and Staff Training

The Advam transaction network undergoes regular third party audits, which include blind penetration testing on all points of ingress and egress. Our security conscious team undergoes frequent and intensive training
on all known threats and vulnerabilities, further reducing the risk of fraud.


Card Scheme Compliance

Advam works hard at being a leader in the payments field, and to this end strive to be at the forefront of proactive security compliance. Advam prides itself on adhering to all security bulletins and issues identified by the card schemes, and complying to these within the shortest timeframes possible.
