5 Ways to Keep your Website Secure
5 Ways to Keep your Website Secure
-
Strong Passwords: It all starts with the very basics.
Don’t be so easy or laid back in creating a password because that is
only going to make it that much more convenient for your account to be
hacked. Remember the hacker isn’t going to be a complete novice and
chances are that whoever is attempting to break in to your system will
rely on ‘brute force hacking’ in which millions of character
combinations are made to decipher the password. It also helps to
regularly change your password, on a monthly basis for example. Every
inch of effort on your part counts!
-
Firewall Protection: Undoubtedly, utilizing firewalls
is a crucial step in ensuring website security. To prevent unauthorized
entries on to your server, a firewall is necessary to ensure bad
information is blocked from infiltrating the system. A lot of companies
hire specialists to set up string firewalls. In addition, it helps to
keep the companies’ Web servers separate from the rest of the network to
steer clear of break-ins.

Malware Alert: You may have heard of this terminology
before and if you have then you should know very well that if it
manages to get on to your website, you’re in for trouble. Malware can
get on to your server through a myriad of ways ranging from poor choice
of passwords to unprotected permissions settings and using software that
involves third party add-ons that only make it easier for sensitive
information to be interpreted and misused. To avoid this, make sure you
run spyware removal programs on a regular basis.
-
Data Backup: The fact is that no matter what
precautions you take, risk always exists. In order to deal with this, it
only makes sense to back up all your data beforehand! Make sure you
know exactly what to back up. All information that is required to get
the website running to as it was initially is what is needed. Also, it
should be noted that the backup should be kept off the site or on a
different server. Website backup services can be offered by your hosting
services or you can use third party plugins for Joomla, WordPress or
other CMS powered websites. Here are some popular backup plugins for
Joomla, WordPress and regular websites:
