What security measurements does ANX have?
Security is of paramount importance to ANX. Every element of our operation has been methodically designed for optimum security. This includes all factors including physical intrusion, exhaustive vetting and background checking of staff members, the cold storage of coins and validation of withdrawal requests, and dedicated awareness to recurring security threats such as social engineering, phishing, and remote zero day exploits to name only a few.
Our staff are trained to detect suspicious transactions and requests and are procedurally qualified to comply with KYC and AML policies.
For those technically minded or curious, some of the security aspects we utilise are detailed below (some of our security elements will not be disclosed):
SSL Encryption: We use 128-bit encryption to encrypt all communication between our customers and our platforms. This is the highest encryption available and is used as the gold standard for all secure communication on the net.
State of the Art infrastructure: The ANX platform is hosted on dedicated servers in Tier 1 data centers. We do not use shared servers, nor do we employ services from Cloud providers.
Passwords: We do not use MD5 hashing to encrypt your password. To avoid common weaknesses, our proprietary procedures are designed to provide our customers with the peace of mind that comes from our security implementation.
DB Security: Our databases are encrypted and protected against SQL injection attacks. We also do hourly backups and send backups off site to multiple locations.
Business continuity planning: We have process and controls in place to deal with outages or attacks. Our site and funds are totally segregated. All customer crypto funds are maintained in cold storage, thus invulnerable to hacking attempts.
DDOS protection: We leverage one of the world’s strongest forms of protection against Distributed Denial of Service attacks. We do not pretend to do this by ourselves and partner with multiple third parties who have proven to mitigate some of the largest DDOS attacks in internet history.
Regular Stress and Soak Testing: Our technology is immediately scalable. Our regular stress testing has proven it achieves low latency processing and we’ve soak tested to over 10 million transactions within a 24 hour period. Translation: our engine and underlying infrastructure can handle load, and lots of it.
We employ a proprietary design to ensure that in the very unlikely event of a site breach, this does not result in access to online wallets or cryptos. We will not provide details to avoid providing potential attackers any insights; however the terms “air gap” and “complete segregation” may offer some hints.
