Automatic Payment Security Provisions

Sallie Mae Solutions, the sponsor of Cornell Automatic Payment, has many layers of data security in place. This ensures that your personal financial information is protected and that no one gets unauthorized access to your account. For example:

• Sallie Mae Solutions is protected by a system of filtering firewalls. Firewalls form a barrier between the internal network and the outside Internet. As a result, any financial data you enter into the internal network is safe from outside access. This architecture is based in the primary security platform adopted and used by Department of Defense agencies.
• Sallie Mae Solutions uses database encryption, making it impossible for someone to create a bookmark. This prevents other users on the same machine from gaining access to a page in the system. So, no one can view your account information without knowing your user id and going through the proper log-on verification process.
• In addition, Sallie Mae Solutions has implemented employee training and other strict procedures to safeguard your transactions and provide the highest level of safety and privacy for customers.
