Firewalls & Sensors

At TPABenefits, Inc., the first layer firewall protects the Web server from un-subscribed users. The Web server uses the standard SSL (secure socket layer) and, optionally, Digital Certificates to protect the user id and user password from unauthorized access and to help authenticate the identity of users.

The second layer firewall sits between the Web servers and the Data Warehouse to protect against any security breach of sensitive data or transactions. Both the Web and Data servers are using private IP addresses to prevent any public routing. The firewall will only recognize the predefined private IP addresses for the Data server and predefined private Port ID’s for data transmission and transaction processes between the Web and Data servers.
