Since the security of your website is vital to your reputation and the customer experience, it’s never too soon to do a security audit–or have us do one for you. Read on to learn what you can do to make your website as secure as possible.
Website security centers around keeping access open to legitimate users and to keeping your website safe from cyberattack, maximizing the user experience for all. Some tools, processes and procedures are dedicated to access management, and some to blocking attacks. Access and authorization management helps verify who in your company has access to which parts of the website and to the data in those areas; tools such as encryption, hiding your origin IP address, and blocking invalid traffic including bots, helps keep you safe from downtime and you and your customers safe from data theft.
Managing Access Enhances Security
Managing access contains two practices, authentication and authorization. Both help to protect your website by ensuring those requesting access are who they say they are, and what they are allowed to see and do. Role-based permissions authorize some people to edit content and others only to view website analytics, for instance. For managing access, implementing multi-factor authentication makes it harder for bad actors to gain entry to your website, keeping it secure.
Manage and Measure Website Traffic to Prevent Cyber Attacks
Technological tools like web application firewalls, Secure Socket Layer and encryption help block invalid traffic and prevent attacks like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). Not only that, analytics aided by machine learning can spot traffic anomalies that might signal an imminent attack. Encryption keeps data from being read even if some data gets in the wrong hands. Multiple tools are needed to keep your website and its data secure. Having these tools in good working order is part of evaluating your website’s security.
Securing your website is vital to your business and the customers it serves, protecting their data and providing a positive user experience. For a review of your website, contact ClikCloud today.
