1) Benefits and Drawback of Internet
But there are some drawbacks also. Major issue is that your personal info available online may be accessed by anyone causing threat to your security. IT Experts, hackers and with some tools now confidential and personal files can be easily access via hacking the website and other means of online safety attacks.
This means that websites are not completely safe and secure and this shows that there should be some responsibility of an administrator or an owner of the website towards them in order to maintain their security to a great extent.
2) Responsibility as website owner or administrator
One of the major responsibilities on the part of an admin or owner is to provide assurance of the safety and security of the website to the visitors of the site. This is required so that they can visit the website without any apprehension in their mind and without any hesitation, as if they do not feel safe they do not visit your site and this leads to your loss in several context.But now the question arises in my mind, that which type of websites is mostly hacked by the hackers or more vulnerable to them.
3) Type of websites which are more vulnerable to hackers
The answer of the above question is websites which are mostly meant for online shopping and promotion. The websites which promote, sale or supply products and services online are mostly the targets of the hackers as they generate large amount of traffic each and every second and also having personal as well as highly confidential information.
4) Ensuring that the website is free from any breach of security
5) What are the steps to be followed for ensuring web site safety?
There are several ways by which we can ensure the safety and security of the website. One way is by the installation of the firewall. It checks your security on daily basis and prohibits any threat or risk as soon as it is detected. There is large no. of companies available which offer services with the firewall protection. And for these services, subscription rates are mostly affordable as this field is having a very tough competition.During the initial stage of the development of the websites, web developers, web host companies and designers installed various software’s and tools so that site can be kept safe against hackers and cyber attacks. The programs installed initially are required to be updated on daily basis so that their standards can be maintained properly and to resolve the problems which involve breach of safety.
Some web developers and security experts working independently are also hire by the companies who check the existing procedures of the company in the context of online security and if they found something wrong, they recommend later to improve and strengthen the security.
To enhance the website security, suggestions and feedback in the context of appropriate type of web application required for the same is considered by the third party consulting organizations.
At the end, I just want to say that website safety is essential i.e. to protect the same from threats and for this, some steps must be followed as given above and your website may become secure to a great extent.
