Boys Town employs a number of safeguards for all data that enters the local network from the Internet. Examples of these practices include use of firewall, e-mail filtering and a public key infrastructure to enforce perimeter security, use of anti-malware software, workstation and server disk encryption, file level and share level document security, and control of physical access to data centers. Boys Town also has a three prong approach to data protection. All data is backed up to disk, then replicated to a secondary data center, and also written to tape and stored in a third secured location.
Data transmissions from visitors that involve financial transactions are secured using the certificate-based https protocol.
