Title: Need to Know Web Design Consultants
1E-commerce and Website Security
2It should go without saying that E-commerce sites
need top-notch security. Youre handling
peoples financial information and transactions,
which if stolen can cause serious harm to your
customers and stain your companys reputation,
alongside potentially ruinous legal cases. While
every site needs good security, E-commerce sites
need to be on top of any issues before they
result in real damage. But what do you need to
craft a secure E-commerce site? Theres the
obvious stuff SSL/TSL Certificates, running an
up-to-date version of your CMS of choice with
up-to-date plugins, running your site on secure
servers and meeting the legal requirements of
your home country, but theres other stuff you
need to think about.
3HTTPS
HTTPS, also known as HyperText Transfer Protocol
Secure, is an additional layer of security that
helps with wireless communication over the
Internet. Without it, all communication between
sites is unencrypted, opening a potential
backdoor for hackers to exploit. On top of that,
Google has started to unrank sites that only use
HTTP due to their security risks. PCI
Compliance All the big payment card companies
have a set of standards that financial data
holders need to follow if they want to avoid
lawsuits and the like. By keeping financial data
secure, you will meet these standards.
Encryption and Tokenisation can be used to
prevent the theft of information, even when your
site is compromised.
4DDoS Protection
Distributed Denial of Service attacks are
becoming more and more common due to the fact
that theyre the easiest way to bring a site
down. DDoS attacks involve huge amounts of people
(or more commonly bots) sending requests to the
same server, overloading it and bringing the site
down until it can be reset. Buying more
bandwidth can be an expensive, yet effective
option. Making the site firewall stronger can
also nip a DDoS attack in the bud and its a
cheaper option. When it comes to E-commerce
sites, you cant skimp out on protection and
security your reputations on the line.
