Don’t Gamble on How You Secure Sensitive Data
Data security with strong encryption
New federal and state regulations make it imperative to encrypt sensitive data in your Enterprise database files. Credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other sensitive information must be encrypted to prevent loss or unauthorized use. The Alliance AES Encryption product provides all of the encryption, decryption, and key management facilities you need to secure your DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server data.
Internet file server encryption
When you deploy an FTP server or data sharing server such as Microsoft SharePoint, your sensitive data is exposed after it is transmitted to you, but before you process it into your applications. You can automatically protect sensitive files on the file transfer server with Alliance File Encryption Manager for Windows. Files are automatically encrypted in real time and can then be moved to internal application servers for decryption and processing. Data is protected on your disk and while it moves across your network.
Point-of-sale and payment systems
Point-of-sale terminals and processing systems present special challenges for data security. Alliance AES encryption and key management solutions can help you secure your data on the point-of-sale terminal, intermediate servers, and while it moves to your applications servers and payment service provider networks. The complete implementation of the AES encryption specification means no gaps in encryption support for multiple POS vendor systems and payment networks. Your data and encryption keys are secure at every point in the payment processing chain.
Agilysys Lodging Management Systems integration
You can connect any hospitality serial device to your Enterprise running the Agilysys LMS system using the Alliance SerialConnect and Alliance TCP/IP software products. Devices are connected using the TCP/IP protocol enabling advanced system recovery and network routing. PBX, room key, movie, voice mail, point of sale, and many other types of devices can be connected to the Enterprise and integrated directly with LMS. For TCP and UDP connections, you can use the Alliance Series TCP/IP product for integration with Agilysys LMS, Infogenesis point-of-sale, and other IP connected devices.
Gaming system integration
Integration of Bally SDS, Acres Player Tracking, and XpertX gaming systems are supported with the Alliance Series TCP/IP software product. You can connect information to your own applications, or to third party applications like CMS. Alliance provides all of the data communications and translation facilities you need for your hospitality Enterprise.

Securely send and receive files using an Internet connection with Alliance FTP Manager. It provides a cross-platform compatible encryption method for exchanging sensitive data with customers and vendors, and is deployed by all of the major commercial banks, benefits providers, and credit companies. Files encrypted on the Enterprise with Alliance FTP Manager and PGP Command Line 9 can be decrypted on UNIX, Windows, IBM System z mainframe, and other platforms. With built-in key management and file compression capabilities Alliance FTP Manager is the best solution for your cross-platform transfer needs.
Secure FTP file transfer automation
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the work-horse method of data file transfer within the Enterprise and with outside customers and vendors. Alliance FTP Manager provides the automation, security, and compliance functions you need for your business. With automated processing of files, integration with encryption technologies, archival, and audit trails, you can deploy the most effective solution for FTP automation for your Enterprise server. Alliance FTP Manager supports both the SSL FTP (FTPS) and Secure Sell FTP (sFTP) protocols for secure transfer.
XML and web services data exchange
For Internet data exchange the hospitality industry is rapidly adopting the XML standard for data exchange and web services. Alliance XML/400 provides a complete set of web services and XML translation facilities to fully process XML on your Enterprise. With built-in support for Websphere MQ (MQseries) hotel reservations from Starwood and other reservation systems are fully supported.
401K benefits file transfer
Send and receive 401K benefits information with your plan administrator using the Alliance FTP Manager for secure Internet communications. Sensitive employee information is securely encrypted and decrypted directly for your Enterprise server. No intermediate servers are required for data transport. Alliance FTP Manager provides secure communications, data archival, and audit trails.
