To protect confidential information that may be sent to or from your browser, you are entering a Secure Site.

Several technological tools are used to provide security on the Web site, including:

  • The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects the information you transmit and prevents interception by unauthorized parties. SSL is an industry standard protocol used for communication between your Web browser and the Web server. It provides authentication, data integrity and encryption.
  • A firewall restricts unauthorized access to our internal networks where your information is stored.
  • We maintain and monitor an audit log, which tracks the use of our security processes and highlights any suspicious activity.

Your browser may give you a message indicating you are entering a secure Web site. And if you usually see a broken key or open lock in the lower left corner of your screen, you'll notice it change to a full key or closed lock.
