Web site protection and security

Web site protection and security

November 21, 2012

Living in Israel poses simple challenges in terms of maintenance of websites and web applications. Repeated attempts to damage the site, hacking, and disrupting are made daily by groups of anti-Israeli hackers from various parts of the world.

In addition, high-profile sites serve a purpose for commercial hacking groups that share malicious codes on the site and redirect the user to other sites.

There is a real business model for commercial hackers, and they benefit most from hacking the site, which preserves and fuels their interest in continuing to hack.

When it comes to website security, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

It is possible to protect a site up to the teeth, but it is not possible to prevent break-in 100%. The Pentagon also broke out already.

The purpose of site protection is to find a balance between the hacker’s investment in breaking the defenses and the profit he might make from the breach. When we bring the hacker into a situation that does not pay him financially to hack the site, then the site is sufficiently protected.

Most hacking sites in Israel are defaults of small sites and have a significant budget deficit for security. Such breaches do not have a business dimension, but are ideological, and their treatment should be different.

At EOI, we continuously secure dozens of Israeli sites, as well as several high profile international sites.

We will be happy to provide you with professional tips, advice, cleanliness and security.
