Ten common website security risks and countermeasures

First, understand the ten common website security risks, and then take corresponding measures.

1. Known vulnerabilities. If an enterprise has vulnerabilities, it is most vulnerable to attacks. Using outdated CMS versions, plug-ins and themes (for example, WordPress vulnerabilities are one of the biggest risks in this category).

Countermeasures:

Perform daily vulnerability scanning, perform periodic repair and update, and use the web application firewall

2. Login and credential disclosure attacks. Hackers use brute force attacks to guess user name and password combinations or use leaked credentials to invade legitimate accounts.

Countermeasures:

Provide security awareness training (avoid phishing) Enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) Use Web Application Firewall to set login attempt restrictions on all pages using HTTPS

3. Unlimited user access. Not limiting access to those who need it (in the shortest possible time) will expand the attack surface of the website.

Countermeasures:

Implement strict access control Follow identity and user management best practice records Implement security policies and procedures

4. Security configuration error and unencrypted data. For example, password access is not required, a database is used, or sensitive data is not encrypted correctly.

Countermeasures:

Provide mandatory security awareness training, regularly conduct website vulnerability testing, use reliable web application firewall to protect static and transmission data with data encryption

5. Cross site scripting (XSS) attack. JavaScript based attacks can take over accounts, spread malware, etc.

Countermeasures:

Provide mandatory security awareness training, regularly conduct vulnerability testing, and use the Web application firewall

6. SQL injection attack. Web applications and websites are vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, which allows criminals to steal data from your database, log into administrator accounts, etc.

Countermeasures:

Enable web application firewall to perform periodic vulnerability testing Implement security policies and procedures that outline security steps during development

7. Security logging failed. Security logging is the key to help you quickly track, identify and respond to security events to minimize losses.

Countermeasures:

Turn on web application firewall logging and monitoring Perform daily website backups

8. Backdoor attacks and other malware. Installing malware or web background management scripts on a website can allow an attacker to take full control of your website.

Countermeasures:

Perform a daily malware scan Check your code and files with the Web Application Firewall Perform regular updates and repairs

9. DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks are designed to defeat your web server through illegal requests, making it unable to handle other visitors' legitimate requests.

Countermeasures:

Use Web application firewall to detect and prevent illegal requests from using CDN

10. Malicious robots. Malicious robots are controlled devices that create a series of problems for website owners and customers by spreading spam, sending phishing emails and executing malicious orders.
