Secure Backup and Recovery
JTM-EZ Secure Data Backup Software features the highest security and encryption
to ensure that only you will access your data.
All data, including
patient and billing records, is encrypted before it leaves the user’s computer(s)
and is never accessible without the user’s encryption key.
This encryption
key is stored only on the user’s system and is never transmitted over the Internet.
The encryption key is also NOT stored on JTM Technology’s servers*. Thus, only the
user has access to his or her files, eliminating the threat of unauthorized access.
Even JTM Technology cannot access the files or even read the filenames.
* - In cases where you are concerned about having
only one set of encryption keys, we can store one for you
Each file is individually
encrypted using the unique 256 bit encryption key.
JTM-EZ Backup
Software uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption technology.
AES
encryption was developed by the U.S. National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is now the state-of-the-art standard encryption
technique for both commercial and government applications. Moreover, in June 2003,
256-AES was approved by the
United States
' National Security Agency (NSA) for use encrypting the
U.S.
government's documents classified "TOP SECRET."
SSL Adds Another
Layer of Encryption
For added security,
and to meet the Security Rule’s transmission requirements, each encrypted file is
then sent over the Internet via a secure channel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology. This is the same Internet transmission technology that is used for online
banking and online credit card applications. As a result, data is encrypted twice.
It is encrypted at all times using the 256-bit
AES
encryption, and it is encrypted again while it is being
sent over the Internet, to and from the JTM Technology servers.
Redundancy
Further, all
user data is sent to and stored in two redundant secure data centers, located hundreds
of miles apart from each other (Northern New Jersey and
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
). Each data center has 24/7 onsite monitoring, advanced
security technology such as biometric access controls, backup generators and redundant
connections to the Internet.
