1. Measures and methods for maintaining website security.
The Department of Water Resources, a government agency providing information, news, and knowledge on water resources, recognizes the importance of website security and protecting user data from destruction or intrusion by malicious individuals or those without authorized access. Therefore, the department has established website security measures using advanced data security standards with Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This technology uses 128-bit encryption to encrypt data transmitted over the internet during access to information and systems via the Department of Water Resources' internet network. This prevents data interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Encryption is the primary method used to ensure data security. Users can observe this from the protocol address, which is https://.
2. Enhanced technologies used to maintain security.
In addition to the security measures and methods mentioned above, the Department of Water Resources also utilizes advanced technology to protect your personal data as follows:
2.1 A firewall is a computer security system that includes both hardware and software devices. It allows only authorized users or those approved by the website to pass through the firewall and access the data.
2.2 Virus Scanning: In addition to having high-performance and regularly updated antivirus software installed on all service computers, the Department of Water Resources has also installed virus scanning software specifically on the servers.
2.3 Cookies are small computer files that temporarily store necessary information on the user's computer for convenience and faster communication. However, the Department of Water Resources is highly aware of the privacy of its users and therefore avoids the use of cookies. In cases where the use of cookies is necessary, the Department of Water Resources will carefully consider the matter and prioritize the security and privacy of the user.
2.4 Auto Log off: When using the Department of Water Resources' services, you should log off every time after use. If a user forgets to log off, the system will automatically log off within a reasonable time frame for each service. This is for the user's own security.
3. Recommendations regarding security measures.
Although the Department of Water Resources maintains high standards of technology and security methods to prevent unauthorized access to your personal or confidential information as mentioned above, current technology does not offer any security system that can completely protect your data from destruction or unauthorized access. Therefore, you should follow the security recommendations below.
3.1 Exercise caution when downloading programs from the internet. Always verify the website address before logging in to prevent website spoofing.
3.2 Do not click on banners or links that try to force you to download files, as this may infect your computer with viruses.
3.4 You should install an antivirus system on your computer and try to keep your antivirus program up-to-date.
3.5 Install personal firewall, antivirus, and anti-malicious software to protect your computer from attacks by malicious individuals such as crackers or hackers.
