System Security

Viaden Gaming has always been particularly concerned with security issues that underlie our basic development principles. Our industry experts employ world’s leading technologies for insuring security and stability of system performance.

To ensure the highest possible level of our system security we have developed a multi-level security system.

Striving to prevent any unauthorized access we undertake the following measures:

Application lockout – aimed at preventing password guessing and attacker’s resetting user’s account.

Access Control via:

• Parameter Analysis
• Site Partitioning
• Application Workflow
• Advanced monitoring of login attempts, password resets and changes, account lockout, filing any form or search field
• Client-side validation supported by additional Server-side validation
• Captcha

User authentication is realized by means of:

• Credentials transport via an encrypted channel,
• Login and password security,
• Password reset via a security question/answer,
• Password lockout to protect brute force attacks when the incorrect password is entered more than 5 times,
• Excluding blank passwords and uncovered passwords as well as specifying password structure,
• Advanced age verification system,
• IP validation – certain suspicious IP can be blocked.

Error handling – all user messages displayed do not allow showing user details that could further be used by an attacker.

Server Security

For preventing basic attacks on services available via the server we employ powerful firewall. The next safety level increases system protection from possible brute force attacks. Furthermore, to prevent any unauthorized access to players’ accounts we employ an efficient system that blocks the access to account from a certain IP if the number of attempts to access the system from that IP exceeds the limit.

And finally, our data base server is fully isolated and protected with maximum security passwords to exclude any possibility of unauthorized malicious access.

We rigorously monitor our data storage center and constantly employ innovative technologies to deliver the best-of-breed and the safest poker experience to players worldwide.
