Helping to Keep You Safe and Secure Online.
Website Security
Advanced Protection, Powered by SucuriA world-class, website security layer that offers continuous monitoring and automatic, daily malware scanning at the front end and server level to detect and remove security holes and issues known to compromise websites. Ensuring a clean site means HLRSC.com will run safer, faster, and never be blacklisted by search engines, like Google.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Automatically Stops MalwareA cloud-based, “real-time” firewall service that adds an additional layer of protection to the HLRSC site by screening all incoming data, blocking malicious or suspicious traffic, and removing dangerous code before it has a chance to infect the website. In addition, WAF speeds load times, increases availability, and protects site reputation on the web.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Encrypts and Protects Sensitive Information Between Server & ClientAn SSL Certificate validates site identity and uses a 256-bit encryption to stop hackers and thieves from obtaining personal and valuable information like usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. When a visitor visits HLRSC.com, our SSL automatically creates a secure, encrypted connection with their browser. Once the secure connection is established, a padlock icon and the prefix “https” (not http) will appear in the browser’s bar to indicate the site is safe. In order to obtain an SSL Certificate, each company must go through a validation process. Once received, the SSL Certificate information is shared with merchant account services before online payment transactions can occur.
Before the trasmission of any data occurs, its encrypted and then sent to the receiver where it is, in turn, decrypted before processing it. This process is called “public key encryption.” In order for “public key encryption” to establish a secure connection, one or both parties must submit a digital certificate to negotiate the connection. This process is called “handshaking.” Lastly, to ensure the handshake is valid, the SSL connects a trusted third party known as a “Certificate Authority” in order to confirm the site identity which is needed to send and receive information.

Tips to Keep Online Shopping Safe
- Use a private browser window when making online purchases.

- Check the web address to make sure it starts with “https.” The “s” stands for secure.
- Look for the padlock to the left of the domain url—a secure website connection will always display a closed lock.
- Use a credit card or PayPal when making online purchases. Debit cards are linked to bank accounts and put the shopper at a much higher risk if someone hacks your information.
- Never use a public computer or unsecure network to share your personal information or make online purchases.
- Always avoid sharing more information than necessary. Usually required fields have an astrick (*).
- Say “NO” to clicking links from sneaky senders with unknown email addresses or offers that seem to good to be true.
- Use a reputable search engine, like Google, to find a secure websites if you need to make online purchases.
- When in doubt, just don’t. If a website doesn’t look or feel right, never share your personal information.
