VIP Customer PortalSecuirty - Secuirty Model Gibtelecom GibtelecomGibtelecomGibtelecomGibtelecomGibtelecom Gibtelecom Gibtelecom Gibtelecom • Secuirty Model As well as https/ssl implentation a secuirty model has been adopted where by the customer portal can only read data from our monitoring servers. When a request needs to be actioned, they pass via encrypted tunnels to the monitoring servers where they are validated and executed. If the portal machine were to get compromised it would leave the attacker isolated within that DMZ.
