MarketLinx Secure
Available for MLXchange and TEMPO 5.0 MLS customers, MarketLinx Secure gives MLS staff the power to automatically restrict access to the MLS system based on individual behavior and usage patterns.
How it Works
Once MLS staff have created their custom security policy, the program tracks all system usage on an account-by-account basis for signs of suspicious or abusive behavior, which can include:
- Accessing the system from too many different IP addresses
- Accessing the system from too many different computers (MAC addresses)
- Simultaneous logins of the same User ID
- Exceeding data export quotas

When the program detects an infraction, the system automatically takes the appropriate action based on the MLS security policy. These actions can include:
- Forcing the user to change passwords
- Forcing the user to answer one or more password reminder questions
- Account suspension – the account can be reactivated using a special code that is automatically sent to the account owner’s e-mail address
- Account suspension for a predetermined period of time
- Indefinite account suspension – the owner must contact MLS staff
- And more!
Benefits
- MarketLinx Secure minimizes the inconvenience to honest users, while punishing users who abuse the system.
- The module is completely software-based and directly integrated with the
- MLS system interface and core application logic.
- MarketLinx Secure is less expensive to implement than other security solutions.
- MarketLinx Secure eliminates the one-size-fits-all approach to security solutions.
