ADD Systems is pleased to announce additional
security enhancements in ADD Energy E3 2009 that help protect your system.

One of the many ways to decrease the vulnerability of the PC is to restrict access to as few resources as possible. E3 2009 uses Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5, which allows us to remove requirements for write
access to theWindows folder. You can take advantage of this by altering the privileges of the users who run E3, denying them write access to the Windows folder. This
could reduce the number and type of viruses your systems are exposed to because viruses that use the Windows folder to overwrite existing programs will be crippled or stopped. Be aware, however, that changing the privileges of E3 users also depends on the needs of other applications they must run.

Changing user privileges is only one step in risk reduction. As always, your antivirus software must be up to date, firewalls properly configured, and company Internet guidelines understood by your staff.

While nothing is foolproof, taking this step provides one more barrier, especially to threats not yet identified by your antivirus software. This feature just became
available with the latest E3 software version
(9.01). In addition to Windows versions of Load Track, the Freight Matrix, Accounts PayableAdd-ons, Delivery Maintenance and our Budget module, it's one more compelling reason to consider an upgrade.

Contact your Sales representative or Software Support by calling 800-922-0972 to learn more about an upgrade.

PAMS security features
For PAMS users, ADD Systems has the following features available to minimize bank account security fraud by using a Positive Pay file system. This feature allows a company to require that their bank use a confirmation record for all payment transactions. The Positive Pay file feature is available for both the AP and PR modules. It transmits a file to your bank that is used to verify all check and EFT transactions by providing a matching transaction for each draft or payment in advance. The file includes the bank account number, date, check number, and amount. If a check has been voided, an updated record is sent with a “V” in front of the prior transaction line.

The next release of PAMS will also provide several changes directed at securing
sensitive data by storing it all in a central file that is encrypted with 256-byte AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard). Some of the information to be encrypted will be
credit card, bank account and Social Security Numbers. The user login and passwords will also be encrypted. There will be an increase in the user login to a maximum size of 10 characters and the user password is being increased to 12 characters to meet the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. Your company can determine the strength of its users’ passwords and the frequency that passwords must be changed.
