Ultimate Control: Manage Access to Your Services with Custom Firewalls

Saturday, October 13th, 2012

Can I block this one IP that is scanning our accounts?  Can I restrict my account so that people can only access it from our office network, or require that they authenticate to WebMail first (using two-factor authentication)?

LuxSci is constantly asked for fine-grained access controls by customers who are in shared environments (sharing the same servers with many other accounts).  However, blocking access from IP addresses globally at the request of one customer may potentially affect other customers using the same system.

That is, until now. LuxSci customers can now configure their own custom firewalls to allow and deny access as they see fit without affecting other customers sharing the same server(s).

Enforcing Email Security with TLS when Communicating with Banks

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

LuxSci has had many requests from clients who have to communicate with various banks and other security-conscious organizations asking that LuxSci “enforce the encryption of email when sent to those organizations’  email servers via TLS”.  This is such a common request, that I wanted to explain what it means, why it is good, how LuxSci does this by default, and the extra step that LuxSci can take to lock down things even more for you.

Maximal Security with the Push of a Button

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

LuxSci now provides account administrators with a "Maximum Security" button that allows them, in one click, to configure all of the options in their account to settings that ensure maximal security. This configures such things as forced use of SSL, strong passwords, and forced use of SecureLine (if you have purchased it) with S/MIME certificates. This option is available in the "Advanced Account Administration" area.

Account managers can also contact support to have these settings "Locked Down" so that no one in the account can alter them without contacting support directly, getting approval, and leaving an audit trail.

If you want maximal email security and the assurance that it is setup correctly and cannot be circumvented, this is for you.
