A proactive approach to protecting data means that security and privacy is built into everything we do. We continually invest in ways to strengthen this security for every business, including our own, and share our technology innovations with the world – making the internet a safer place for everyone.

We distribute data across multiple data centers, so that in the event of a fire or disaster, it can be automatically shifted to stable and protected locations. Each of those data centers is monitored and protected 24/7, and access is tightly controlled with measures like biometric identification and laser-based surveillance.
