Security Features
Security and Backup Systems for CaC E1,11 Sofhvare
Redundancy, reliability and security are key issues to consider when it comes to securing an
online database. WESTAF prides itsell'on its robust security and disaster recovery policies.
Reliability
Reliability is a key issue when you are selecting it server to host systems. All data that is
accessed through the Internet is stored on computers called servers. They are called servers
because they "serve up" informalion. There are a variety of different kinds of Internet servers,
the most common being "Web" (like Apache) which allows the display of Web pages. Servers
are physical computers that have a large capacity to retain information and programs. The
CaFFT^' datahase will physically reside (be hosted) on a Linux server.
A server needs an operating system to allow computer programs like the CAFETM database to run
on them. An operating system is a computer program that acts as the central system allowing
other computer programs to operate. One familiar operating system is Microsoft Windows.
Windows allows other programs such as Word and Excel to work together on your work or home
PC. Similarly, the saver's operating system will allow all the programs needed to create and
operate the. CAFET^' database allowing it to "serve" information to Internet users and maintain
security on the CAPE;'^' database. The Linux operating system will be used to rum the CAFETDI
database.
The Linux operating system is extremely reliable and stable. It allows multiple users (people
who access information of the Internet) to access your information. Other operating systems
may cease to work when they have too many users accessing data. Linux is known for its ability
to accommodate large numbers of users with little loss of performance.
This saver will live at a high-speed broadband Internet -access facility. Many hone PCs access
the Internet through a dial -up connection. Dial -up connections are slower than high-speed
broadband connections. The server has access to the Internet througli a much larger connection.
Think of this as [he highway to the database. The high-speed broadband is a six -lane highway; a
DSL or Cable modem is a two-lane highway; and a dial -up connection is a dirt road. The high-
speed broad -hand connection means lower congestion and better- speed for sending and receiving
data to the CAFET" database.
Redundancy
CAFE11's first level of redundancy is known as a RAID 5 (Redundant Array of Inexpensive
Disks) configuration. This is the hard disk configuration the system will operate on. This means
that the physical computer is made up of multiple hard drives instead ofjust one. The server will
share redundant copies of the same data on separate physical hard drives.
For example, your PC at home has only one hard drive. If your one hard drive breaks down, you
can't get to your infoi nation, run programs or operate your computer. A server with several hard
Initials (. Page 12 of 16
drives running would allow the server to continue operating, nun programs and give out
information even if one of its hard drives breaks down. Basically, the CAFE'm server has
multiple chances to survive before it cannot operate. h also allows for continued operations
while the broken drives are being fixed. This configuration is known as "hot swappable disk
drives,,. "there is very little chance of down time clue to drive failure.
The second Level of redundancy is back up. All the data on the CAFE''"' server is backed up
every six hours otrsitc, protecting precious data in case of fire, natural disaster, or electronic
attacks_ If the scrver were to have a catashophie lailure, we could reload the backup data onto a
different scrver and resume operations very quickly.
The third level ol'rcdundancy is back-up power. The CAFETm server is secured at a facility that
has back-up power supplies. '['his back-up power will provide electricity to the server in case of
black or brown outs.
Security
Transferring sensitive information over the Internet can be risky due to the following issues:
Who you arc connnunicating with may not be who you think it is.
The data you arc sending and receiving via your browser can be intercepted and read by an
unauthorized third party.
* If this party can intercept the data, they be able to modify it before it reaches the
intended receiver.
The latest TLS/SSL encryption standards are utilized to address the above issues and for
account/application access. This standard ensures that no confidential information can be easily
intercepted during a user's session with CaFeT". Our servers identify themselves using public
keys. These public key certificates are issued by VeriSign, a leader provider of Internet security
infrastructure.
Security within our hosting environment is addressed in the following three areas. Physical
security includes locking down and logging all physical access to servers at the data center.
Operational security involves creating business processes that follow security best practices to
limit access to confictential information and maintain tight security over time. System security
involves locking down customer systems fell' the inside, starting with hardened operating
Systems uud up-to-date patching.
Physical Security
Data center access limited to Rackspacc data center technicians
* Biometric scanning for controlled data center access
Security camera monitoring at Al data center locations
24x7 on -site staff provides additional protection against unauthorized entry
* Unmarked facilities to help maintain low profile
Physical security audited by an independent firm
Systenn Security

* System installation using hardened, patched OS
* System patching Configured by Rackspace to provide ongoing protection froth
exploits
* Dedicated fircwall and VPN services to help block unauthorized system access
* Data protection with Rackspace managed backup solutions
* Optional, dedicated intrusion detection devices to provide an additional layer of
protection against unauthorized system access
* Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services based on Rackspace
proprietary Rackspace PrevcnTicr'T' system
Operational Security
* ISO17799-based policies and procedures, regularly reviewed as part of SAS70 Type 11 audit

* All employees trained oil documented information security and privacy procedures
Access to confidential information restricted to authorized personnel only, according to
d OClnnented processes

PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
CaFF''" is a PCI DSS Compliant system, meeting the highest level of transactional security
standards today.
The PCI DSS, a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security,
was developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, including
American Express, Discover Financial Services, JC B International, MasterCard Worldwide and
Visa luc. Inc. International, to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security
mcastu'es on a global basis.
The core of -the PCI DSS is a group of principles and accompanying requirements, around which
file specific clennenls of the DSS are organized:
Build and N/lainlain a Secure Network
Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
Do not use vendor -supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
Protect Cardholder Data
Protect stored cardholder data
