With banking increasingly being done on the Internet, many questions have come up about security. Through cryptographic technology, information is protected as it is transmitted across the Internet. This technology is a form of scrambling the data as it is sent.
Eagle National Bank uses 128-bit encryption, currently the highest form of encryption, allowed by the government reserved primarily for financial institutions. 128-bit encryptions security are available through browsers; Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 and Netscape version 4.74 or above have 128-bit encryption.
Other security tools are available to ensure the integrity of your data: firewalls and filtering routers are used to secure computer from Internet access, and a "trusted" operating system is employed to protect the information from both internal and external threats.
These are just some of the full range of Internet security tools we use. These layers of security work together to make sure that all information transmitted between you and the bank is both secure and authentic.
