How can you keep your website safe?

Hackers have attacked many websites in recent times. Hackers would usually destroy websites and render them inoperable. If they didn’t have backups, website owners would be forced to rebuild their websites from scratch. Companies that had customer payment information stored on their websites could be at risk. Hacking websites were common in the early days. This included leaving tags or “calling card” messages stating that the unknown group had signed.

You could end up with a significant financial burden if you don’t pay attention to your security.

Repairing the damage and creating contingency plans to protect compromised websites and web applications will cost money.
Customer trust, confidence, and reputation are lost, which can lead to damage to brand equity, as well as possible negative effects on profitability, revenue, and profitability.
Web application attacks, poor security measures, and legal battles can have serious consequences. Victims may also be subject to fines and damages.
Any falsified transactions or employee downtime can hurt revenue and profits
Website downtime is the closing of one of the most important sales channels for an online business.

Weaknesses in Web Security

Hackers attempt to gain access to your database server through two main routes: web, database servers, and web apps. Common security flaws include:

Cross-Site Request Forgery: This malicious attack entails tricking users into performing an action they didn’t intend. A request is sent by a third-party website to a web app against which a user has been authenticated (e.g. Their bank. The attacker can then access functionality via the victim’s authenticated browser.
Security Misconfiguration: Hackers can gain access to sensitive information or features, and this could lead to system compromise.
SQL injection: This injection allows an attacker to modify, delete, create, and update data in the back-end databases.
Insecure Direct Object References: An insecure direct object refers to a reference that is exposed by a web app to an internal object. Database records, directories, and files are all internal implementation objects. URL hackers will gain access to private information if an application exposes a reference to any of these objects.
Session management and authentication are broken. An attacker can hijack an active session to take a user’s identity and steal authentication credentials and session identifiers.
Cross-site scripting (XSS: This allows attackers to execute scripts within the victim’s web browser. It results in a hijacking user session, redirecting the victim to malicious sites, or defacing websites.
