1. Website Security Measures and Practices
The Neighbouring Countries Economic Development Cooperation Agency (Public Organization) (NEDA), a government agency providing information, news, and knowledge on marine and coastal resources, recognizes the importance of maintaining website security to safeguard users’ data from destruction, intrusion, or unauthorized access. Accordingly, NEDA has established website security measures employing advanced information security standards through Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This technology encrypts data transmissions using 128-bit encryption to secure all information transmitted over the Internet whenever services or system functions of NEDA are accessed via the Internet. This ensures that any intercepted data cannot be utilized by unauthorized parties. Users may verify this encryption by observing the “https://” protocol prefix.
2. Supporting Security Technologies
In addition to the aforementioned security measures and practices, NEDA also implements advanced technologies to further safeguard your personal information, as follows:
2.1 Firewall
A hardware-based firewall system allows access only to authorized individuals or those granted permission by NEDA, thereby restricting unauthorized access to internal information.
2.2 Virus Scanning
All service computers are equipped with high-performance antivirus software that is regularly updated. Additionally, NEDA has installed dedicated virus-scanning software on its servers to provide enhanced protection.
2.3 Cookies
Cookies are small computer files that temporarily store necessary information on users’ computers to facilitate efficient communication and service usage. However, NEDA is fully aware of the importance of user privacy and therefore avoids the use of cookies whenever possible. In cases where the use of cookies is necessary, NEDA will carefully assess their use with primary consideration given to user security and privacy.
2.4 Auto Log-off
Users should always log off after using NEDA’s services. If a user forgets to log off, the system will automatically terminate the session within a service-appropriate timeframe to ensure user security.
3. Security Recommendations
Although NEDA employs advanced security technologies and methodologies to prevent unauthorized access to your personal or confidential information, no security system can fully guarantee protection against destruction or unauthorized access. Therefore, users are advised to follow these security recommendations:
3.1 Exercise caution when downloading programs from the Internet. Verify the website address before logging in to prevent phishing or impersonation.
3.2 Avoid clicking banners or links that force or prompt file downloads, as these may contain viruses.
3.3 Do not access websites offering serial keys, software cracks, or similar content, as they may introduce malware to your device.
3.4 Install antivirus software on your device and ensure that it is regularly updated.
3.5 Install personal firewall, antivirus, or anti-malicious software to protect your computer from attacks by malicious individuals such as crackers or hackers.
