Information Security Maintenance Manual for Securities and Futures Investors
In today's information and globalization era, the relationship between people, computers, and networks is becoming increasingly close. Electronic trading is becoming more widespread and holds a significant position in economic activities. The trend of using computer or telecommunications technology for criminal activities in cyberspace is also on the rise. While the advent of the Internet has indeed brought many conveniences to human life, it has also given rise to information security and cybercrime issues that pose greater threats to national and societal security.
As the name suggests, it refers to the security of information and communication. When investors use online trading to invest in securities, futures, subscribe to stocks and financial products, and manage accounts and personal investment data, does the convenience of online execution also ensure the security of information and communication?
- Electronic transactions via network transmission or telephone voice are inherently unreliable and insecure in terms of data transmission.
- Transmitting data over the network carries inherent risks such as interruptions and delays.
- Messages sent by others impersonating you.
- Unauthorized remote viewing of message content.
- Unauthorized theft, alteration, or destruction of data content.
- Recipient denies receiving the message content, sender denies sending the message content.
- The client is responsible for any loss or theft of their personal passwords and electronic certificates.
A certificate is issued by a legally authorized certificate authority to verify your identity to others. The certificate contains information that can be used to protect data or establish a secure connection when connecting to other computers. For online transaction security needs, a comprehensive security control mechanism is provided to ensure that online transaction services meet the security requirements of data confidentiality, identity verification, and non-repudiation.
- Ensure the security of every electronic transaction for investors.
- The content of the order message will not be altered.
- Unauthorized individuals cannot place orders under someone else's name.
- The content of the order message will not be disclosed.
- In case of a dispute in the transaction, relevant evidence can be provided as a basis for arbitration.
When engaging in trading activities with securities and futures firms (such as placing orders, canceling orders, subscribing, or withdrawing futures trading margin), it is necessary to use a certificate.
When setting a password, avoid using easily guessable numbers such as birthdays, phone numbers, ID numbers, or patterns.
- You should apply for and properly manage your electronic certificates (types of storage media for electronic certificates include: floppy disks, hard drives, IC cards, etc.) personally, and not entrust them to others for safekeeping.
- Do not share any of your personal passwords with others.
- Do not write your password in obvious places that are easy for others to access.
- Regularly change your password at irregular intervals.
- Passwords for general websites (which may be in plain text) should be distinct from passwords used for online transactions to prevent them from being guessed or misused.
- Use electronic certificates; don't be afraid of the hassle.
- Whether you use the computer alone or share it with others, do not let the browser save your personal passwords.
- When leaving your seat or after completing a transaction, make it a habit to immediately log out of the network.
- It is best not to use websites with transaction functions in public places such as internet cafes.
- When using an electronic certificate, any related evidence data can serve as a basis for arbitration in case of trading disputes.
- Trading disputes can be appealed to or reported to the following units:
