Security features used

The Controller applies the most advanced security measures to ensure the maximum protection of personal data during the use of the www.bank.invicta.pl website. The personal nature of the provided information makes us feel particularly obliged to comply with all norms and strict data protection standards. The security measures in place are modelled on proven banking systems, such as:

secure data transmission with the HTTPS protocol
data encryption with the SSL algorithm

We would like to emphasize that the users of the www.bank.invicta.pl website also bear responsibility for the secrecy and confidentiality of the data entered into the system. Due to the fact that the system is accessible via the Internet, it is necessary to know and follow the rules of safe network usage stated below:

HTTPS protocol and SSL algorithm
firewall system
up-to-date software
antivirus programmes
automatic session timeout

HTTPS protocol and SSL algorithm

Before you log in, make sure the HTTPS protocol appears in your browser bar. When a connection to a secure site is established, the address displayed in the browser should begin with the letters https://, instead of the traditional http://.

Attention should also be paid to the browser status bar (bottom right corner of the screen). If there is a locked padlock icon, secure encryption using the SSL algorithm is in place.

The information transmitted via this route is encrypted using a secure 128-bit SSL protocol.

The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) software is run on the server that uses encryption protocols. It enables a secure exchange of information between the server and the computer, and eliminates the possibility of external access. In web browsers (e.g. Mozilla Firefox), information about the use of the SSL protocol is signalled by the appearance of a locked padlock symbol in the address bar, where the https prefix can be seen. Certificate authenticity can be checked by double-clicking the padlock symbol. Having clicked on the padlock, check whether the security certificate has been issued for the Website address and whether it is valid.

Firewall system

Any computer connected to the Internet is exposed to external threats. By using a Firewall, you increase the security of data entered into the www.bank.invicta.pl website

Software update

Vulnerabilities in the software can put data at risk. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep the operating system and software on the computer up to date. Regular updates reduce system and software vulnerabilities and increase the security of your data.

Antivirus programmes

Viruses can cause serious damage. When using the latest antivirus software, the risk of loss can be reduced.
