Web Server and Network Monitoring Logs
The Platform employs software programs to monitor traffic on the web server on which it is hosted, in order to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information. This software receives and records the IP address of the computer that has contacted the web server, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. No attempt is made to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting the website, unless an attempt to damage the web server has been detected. In addition, the Platform records all access and uses made with a valid user code. These records serve to keep a log consisting of the user name, the date and time of the visit and the features used. The log is available to track legitimate access or use at any time, or to identify fraudulent access or use. The aforementioned data is collected pursuant to section 161 of the Financial Administration Act. The information may be shared with appropriate law enforcement authorities if suspected criminal activities are detected. Such information may be used for network and web server security-related statistical purposes, as well as for audit, evaluation, research, planning and reporting purposes, and is included in Personal Information Banks “Security Incidents and Privacy Breaches” (PSU 939) and “Electronic Network Monitoring Logs” (PSU 905).
