At SSQ Financial Group, we care about the security of information and take the necessary measures to guarantee the protection and confidentiality of your personal information. With this in mind, SSQ developed a Personal Information Protection Policy and we make sure that all of our employees respect the security measures it sets forth. Make sure you protect yourself Protecting your personal information when using the Internet is absolutely essential and requires active participation on your part. Learn and adopt the necessary steps to ensure the confidentiality of your personal identity and the protection of the information contained in your computer. Update your system regularly In order to protect your computer from viruses and other attacks that take advantage of Window's known weak spots, get into the habit of regularly installing Microsoft Windows Update security patches. Use a firewall and protect your wireless network Install a firewall system to protect your computer against attacks and unauthorized access. If you use a wireless network, make sure that access is protected and that communications are secure. Use up-to-date antivirus software Make sure that you have antivirus software installed on your computer and that it's up-to-date and running. New viruses appear on the Internet every day, but if your antivirus software is not updated regularly... it can become obsolete within just one week! When choosing antivirus software, look for one that has integrated spyware protection. Be careful when browsing the Web Avoid clicking on links whose origin is unclear, whether they appear in e-mails, on web pages or in other forms of communication. Be very suspicious of e-mails and Web sites that ask for personal information. It could be a phishing operation where defrauders attempt to obtain personal and financial information to embezzle funds from unsuspecting internet users. |
