Importance of Web Site Security
Web site security becomes a bigger issue every day. You often hear of companies whose web sites or servers were hacked. This can result in a substantial loss of business and revenue, because potential clients simply go away when they see a hacked site. Sometimes a business' sensitive databases get compromised, often containing customer data or credit card info. Web site security risks, such as hackers, may seem like a distant threat, or you may think it only happens in movies or TV shows, but it's a lot closer to home than you think. We'll help your business minimize these risks by securing your web site.
Web Site Security Measures
We can install unique security measures on your site that will greatly increase the security of your web site. We can't go into details on our web site, or we'd give our trade secrets, but we'd be happy to discuss web site security options with you in more detail. For more information, call us today at 213.471.2892 or click here to contact us.
Here's a glimpse of some of the security measures we can install on your site:
- Server Firewall - Web sites hosted on our servers reside behind a powerful firewall.
- Hacker Early Warning System - Hackers have predictable behaviors. When these are detected, a warning is sent to the system administrator and the system is locked down.
- Auto-banning of Potential Hackers - The site will automatically block the IP address of anyone engaged in activity that fits the profile of known hacker activities, and add it to a database of restricted visitors. We can adjust the pre-determined criteria to suit your specific needs.
- Monitoring and Blocking Malicious Bots - Web programs that autonomously cruise through web sites are called 'Bots' - short for 'Robots' because they behave according to pre-programmed algorithms like mechanical robots, and 'Robots' sounds cooler than 'Programs'. The most familiar type are Search Engine Spiders which gather information about your site in order to decide what it's rankings should be in that Search Engine. This may be alarming, but there are secret bots out there gathering intelligence and info on you and your web site. Many are bots written by dishonost webmasters who scrape your site for content and profit by using your stolen content on their site. Some are marketing analytics companies who gather data about you and your company and sell it to advertisers for profit.
There are malicious bots (and botnets, or networks of bots) of the following types that you want to block:
- Spambots that harvest email addresses from contact forms or guestbook pages, or send spam through your mail server
- Downloader programs that consume massive bandwidth by downloading entire web sites
- Web site scrapers that grab the content of web sites and re-use it without permission on automatically generated doorway pages
- Programs that scour the web for copyright infringements so the owner can sue people or companies
- Viruses & worms
- Data-mining programs and cyber-surveillance bots used to collect information on a web site or company
- Hackers
- DDOS attacks which crash coporate servers and web sites
- Botnets / zombie computers (which are used by hackers to control many computers at once for malicious purposes); etc.
We can monitor these bots and keep them out of your site.
- Email Security Measures - We can secure your email as well, and move it to a separate server from your web site for increased security.
- Contact Us for More Info - If you would like to find out more, or discuss custom web site security measures, call us today at 213.471.2892 or click here to contact us.
