WEB SECURITY SERVICES

Nearly 6 lakh credit/debit cards were blocked by SBI a few months ago pertaining to breach of personal data security. Almost 150 countries were infused by the malice of Wannacry ransom-ware attack in May 2017, protruding highly confidential private data to flow into criminal hands. Countries around the globe have been actively alarmed and warned and associations dedicated to cyber security issues are constantly assigning themselves newer ways to fight web security attacks. Website security is not a new issue. Ever since the 90’s software and web programs are under persistent vulnerability to malice. From personal websites to complex ones like a social media or an ecommerce website, all are highly prone to cyber privacy breaches whether it is virus, Trojan horse, worms, ransom-ware hacks, etc. Before we dive deeper into the enormity of the website security vulnerabilities, let us first understand what Web security is and how does it affect us?

Regardless of whether your website is a simple blog portal or a complex ecommerce / business management and integration platform, chances of your website being prone to an external attack is extremely high. More complex websites have higher risk but then, it all is subjective. For example a simple popular blog website may be highly prone to viruses and bot attacks considering the level of sophistication and controversy it may create. A very popular example is the recent hack of political figures on twitter. Imagine, a company as giant as twitter isn’t secure in absolute terms. Once your website is hacked, the attacker can draw data stored on your Web hosting secure services, make changes in your existing applications or even completely shut down your server, leaving you with no option but to start afresh. In technical terms, each website is hosted on a server that opens a window to user’s interaction with the world. The amount of effort laid on server maintenance, website coding and application updates defines the size of this window, making it more secure by limiting the amount of data that can pass and thus establishing high end to end security. A common example is the recent upgraded feature on popular chat application whatsapp. Notice how it shows- ‘End to End Encrypted Data’ below every screen certifying that the data or user privacy is protected. This means that if your website is built up on weak codes, hosted on a weak web server and maintained by an underfed source like an incompetent outsourced IT company, chances of your website falling under the attack zone become stupendously high.

Why is web security important and should you be concerned?

Recently a popular Indian food tech startup had 17 million of user database stolen. This data is personal. It includes not just names but also a map of their online behavior, contact details, choices, address, and email ids. Now imagine the level of risk that pour in when something like this happens.

But before we conclude on whether web security is mandatory or say important, let’s figure out what kind of website would be a value asset for criminals or simply hackers.

1) Website that have value information like credit card details, credentials of users, etc.

2) Website that are center of controversies like a media channel website.

3) Social Media sites that have private pictures, videos, etc.

4) Government websites that contain confidential details.

That is not all. A simple website visitor, browsing over a third party website may a potential target for hackers. There are scripts encoded at different sections of the website which the user is surfing over. Clicking over these sections or worse filling in details without a conscious awareness of the outcome may lead a user to submit details of the system which they have used to access the particular website. To get more clarity, let us see some common phenomenon that we all must have witnessed.

 Spam Links on Facebook. Once you click over them, some absurd irrelevant content gets posted from your personal account.

 Emails notifying you have won a huge lottery

 Emails asking for bank details for some verification. These links for so immaculately duplicated that upon clicking the user will land on what may seem a genuine authentic bank website.

Once you fall in the trap, the consequences are a product of the capabilities of the hackers. They may protrude all of your personal information, use your system to perform illegal task without you being aware of the actions being performed. Thus it automatically answers to the question- Should you be worried? And the answer is yes, of course. You may not remember a transaction you did months ago but if the website you used had poor website security chances are you may end up going bankrupt. In a Ted talk show, Pablos Holman a renowned hacker demonstrated to a live audience on how he could penetrate inside the systems of users staying at the hotel where the event was happening. He showed them how he had access to details of website that had low or zero security.

Who should be worried more?

While everyone who is hosting a website is potential targets, corporate firms or big companies that have vulnerabilities in their system are more at risk. More importantly your website is more prone to a known vulnerable point than an unknown one. This is because these websites are hosted over weak servers, multiple servers and thus no single point of watch is strong enough to prevent a manhandling. A slight mistake from an employee could lead to serious privacy breach. This is the prime reason why many companies do not allow certain websites to be opened on their network.

What’s the solution?

For users, precautionary actions can prevent the digital calamity. Keeping antivirus, Restraining from filling information without prior trust, avoiding click over irrelevant and suspicious link like ads and reporting to email spam are some useful ways. For bigger Companies, older versions of system and browser, old software, poor servers and accumulated applications that the staff is not used are likely to end up in the trap.

There are two basic ways to tackle the problem. One is to ensure that all the applications are updated, website is coded strongly and a regular scanning is being done to look for a malware in the system through anti viruses, anti phishing. While firewalls are useful, it is important to look for gaps. Check for bugs in website. This would require a strong programming team and a dedicated one entirely for the security. But as in most cases, a strong financial budget is a problem. It is here that a trusted third party plays a role. These companies offer dedicated server with firewalled web servers to prevent database security vulnerability. An SSL certification company offers solutions to protect your web pages by constantly scanning through for errors, bugs and loopholes in the applications running on website. You must sure be aware of the HTTP and HTTPS format and the risks involved. An SSL certificate would signify a secure networking thus not only preventing your web pages but also the network that connects your visitors to the world.

End Note

Doesn’t matter whether you are a blogger or a business giant, preventive measure at each step should be a compulsory part of your website design, development and maintenance. Ensuring secure networking should be an agenda right from the first day. Evaluate your system, check for bugs, scan through the codes and applications for errors and create awareness in and around yourself to keep the World Wide Web a safe open source. Remember, with everyday passing, the world is getting tightly knitted by digital threads with almost all life events like online transactions related to an online purchase, data upload in form of personal pictures, videos etc getting transmitted from one end to another, web security is not just a need, it’s an inevitable segment of your website maintenance.
