WHY IS WEBSITE SECURITY IMPORTANT?

If you have an online system of any sort, website security is paramount. As the website owner, you are obligated to implement security measures that will strive to keep your user or client data secure from hackers. It is also vital to ensure that hackers can not "crash" or misuse your system. When a website is hacked it creates much embarrassment for the company that owns that website. It can sometimes stain the reputation of that company to the point where users will not use the website again. Hackers, viruses and spam bots often cause a disruption in your websites availability and therefore a potential loss in orders or enquiries.

These issues are particularly common when using "open source" software such as Zen-Cart, OS Commerce, Joomla and other free software that is available to the public. Because these programs are available to anyone, hackers can study and analyse the weaknesses of such open source software, writing scripts to attack the vulnerabilities.

Here are 5 of the most common hacker attack methods /security issues experienced today :

Remote code execution SQL injection Format string vulnerabilities Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Username enumeration
