Three Easy Ways to Protect Your Website from Cyber Attacks- You may not believe that your website is a hacker target. The truth is that all websites are vulnerable to hackers. It is preferable to take steps to limit the threat of hackers before becoming a victim.

Installation of a secure socket layer in your website

Intruders will be kept out of your website thanks to the security socket layer (SSL). SSL will allow visitors to safely enter personal and financial information to your website. It’s simple to obtain and install an SSL certificate. Most of the time, all you have to do is request an SSL certificate from your website host. It will be configured and installed by their technical team. It’s as simple as pie!

Avoid or restrict file uploading to your website

Uploaded files may contain scripts or malicious software that can be executed and cause harm to your website. You should consider all uploaded files with suspicion and run malware scans on them before doing anything with them.

The greatest method to stay safe is to avoid the problem altogether. Allowing users to submit things to your website is not a good idea! If users are required to transfer files to you via a web interface, it is critical to limit the file types and implement scanning to detect any dangers.

Use of website vulnerability scanners

Website vulnerability scanners are helpful in identifying all of your website’s weak points that hackers could exploit to create an alarm. It’s a safe approach to detect SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) assaults. Hackers will not be able to exploit vulnerabilities discovered by website vulnerability scanners!
