Secure and reliable servers are of-course the critical backbone of a
secure email service.
Our server infrastructure features multiple redundant Internet
connections, multiple sources of backup power, multiple firewalls,
and multiple email servers.
We've completely eliminated single points of failure in our
infrastructure through the use of failover technology built on
OpenBSD's CARP protocol.
OpenBSD - Proactive Security
We use the ultra-secure OpenBSD operating system throughout our
system.
OpenBSD is universally acknowledged to be the most secure
operating system available today, miles ahead of Windows, Linux
and other operating systems with its security features, making it
the clear choice for any high-security application.
All the core code in the OpenBSD operating system is actively
audited for security bugs. This explains its long-standing
reputation for security.
We're really serious about your security and privacy, so
OpenBSD is what we use, on all our servers and firewalls.
Here are some excerpts from the OpenBSD website about the security
focus of the project:
- Goal
OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there).
Our open software development model permits us to take a more uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP, or other vendors are able to.
We can make changes the vendors would not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with cryptography, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards fixing security problems.
- Full Disclosure
Like many readers of the BUGTRAQ mailing list, we believe in full disclosure of security problems. In the operating system arena, we were probably the first to embrace the concept. Many vendors, even of free software, still try to hide issues from their users.
Security information moves very fast in cracker circles. On the other hand, our experience is that coding and releasing of proper security fixes typically requires about an hour of work -- very fast fix turnaround is possible. Thus we think that full disclosure helps the people who really care about security.
- Audit Process
Our security auditing team typically has between six and twelve
members who continue to search for and fix new security holes. We have
been auditing since the summer of 1996.
The process we follow to
increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of
every critical software component.
Entire new
classes of security problems have been found during our audit, and
often source code which had been audited earlier needs re-auditing
with these new flaws in mind.
Code often gets audited multiple times,
and by multiple people with different auditing skills.
Some members of our security auditing team worked for Secure Networks,
the company that made the industry's premier network security scanning
software package Ballista.
Another facet of our security auditing process is its
proactiveness. In most cases we have found that the determination of
exploitability is not an issue.
During our ongoing auditing process we
find many bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is
not proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to
fix.
We have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming
errors in code and only months later discovered that the problems were
in fact exploitable.
(Or, more likely someone on BUGTRAQ would report
that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly discovered
problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had been fixed
in a previous release).
- The Reward
Our proactive auditing process has really paid off. Statements like
"This problem was fixed in OpenBSD about 6 months ago" have become
commonplace in security forums like BUGTRAQ.
Stay secure.
Our IMAP, POP3, SMTP and web mail services provide full SSL session encryption, so
you can send and read email without exposing yourself to privacy
threats such as hackers and identity thieves, or nosy employers,
neighbours and government agencies.
We also provide state-of-the-art anti-spam and anti-virus systems to eliminate virus
and malware threats and identify junk mail, as well as unlimited disposable
email addresses - all integrated into a single service.
And that's not all. With our offshore secure email service you
also receive access to two separate state-of-the-art anonymous surfing proxies which
secure and anonymize your web surfing.
We're so sure you'll love the service that we offer a watertight,
unconditional 30-day money back guarantee if you're not completely
happy with your account for any reason.
