Security and measurements

Why is security important?
If you dont want the world finding out about something about yourself or others or even information with a system (for example your web server) then its recommend to secure it and it is private.
What security measures can you make to secure your website?
You can use SSL (Secure Socket Layer), which;
  • Encrypts data sent between a website and the visitor’s computer. This means it scrambles it so nobody else can read it.
  • It proves the identity of a website. SSL certificates are issued by trusted organisations which make sure a website is legitimate.
also the usual,
  • Changing passwords often
  • Scanning your servers for any Trojans or viruses.
  • Up to date with
    • Security patches
    • Server patches
    • Website patches
    • Software patches
  • Make a Google Webmaster account linked to your website. "Should you be hacked, Google will send you an email to tell you this and also which pages have been hit".
Never tell anyone your password!
