Online security measures have been increasing over the last several
years. This is to combat the activities of Internet fraud. Storesonline has utilized the technological measures mentioned below:
- SSL secured sites. This is a technology that encrypts sensitive
information as it travels from your computer to the server of
the business you're making a purchase from. In essence, it scrambles
the purchase information you send over the Internet, helping to
secure your transaction against fraud.
- Firewalls. A Firewall protects sensitive information stored
on servers and hard drives by use of filters. If the filters "flag"
an information packet that is going to retrieve information for
the servers of hard drives, it is not allowed through.
- AVS (Address Verification System). AVS allows the merchant
side of businesses the ability to check the address of the billing
statement to the address of the card owner; this helps businesses
not send items to those who are fraudulently using credit cards
and credit card numbers.
- Secure Graphical Verification.
Storesonline has recently added a secure graphical verification element to
its online order form. Customers placing an order on Storesonline clientele websites must enter a security code displayed graphically
on the order form before the order will process. This helps prevent
orders that have been placed by fraudulent computers, instead
of by human customers. This is a quality step in fighting fraud.
Storesonline is employing all of the above measures to prevent
fraud from occurring to its clientele and the customers who visit
their clientele's websites.
