Security and Reliability

Software Security

Our trading platforms are designed with the highest standards in terms of security privacy, integrity and reliability.
 

Secured Data exchange

To provide security, all the information exchanged is encrypted by 128-bit keys. Such a solution guarantees safekeeping of information transferred and minimizes the possibility of third party access. A built-in DDoS-attacks guard system raises the stability of operation of the server and the system as a whole.


Reliability

Important data is backed up in more than one location. The impact of physical disasters such as earthquakes, floods, software/hardware failures is managed by backing up the data in more than one physical location.


Servers

Our ongoing target is to keep our “down-times” to an absolute minimum, way below the industry average. Star Financial Markets uses two different server farms, physically located away from each other. Data is synchronized in both locations, allowing restoration of damaged databases within a matter of minutes. All of the information on the servers is encrypted.


Each Server Farm is Equipped With

  • Very high physical security
  • Armed guards are on-site 24 hours a day
  • Access to the premises strictly forbidden except for authorized personnel.
  • Air-conditioned environment for increased performance.
  • Fully automated incident prevention and defence mechanisms.
  • 26 day standalone electricity generation capability to counteract power outage.
  • Power surge protection.

Nevertheless, if you experience any problems online, you should contact us immediately, especially if you have open positions in the market. Our experienced staff will be able to assist you without delay and quote current market prices, place trades or assist you with your technical problems if needed. To call the dealing room please dial 1300 991 654.
