A couple of weeks back while browsing internet randomly, I stumbled upon a relatively older article. It was about a hacking incident that happened on the New York Times' website a few years back. The hackers used the Cross-Site Forgery (CSRF) technique and made the users perform unwanted activities. It took at least a few months before the newspaper figured out and fixed the issue. Incidents like this expose the vulnerability of the websites that needs immediate attention. Thus numerous high-end virtual security appliances have been develop and being used to thwart all kinds of internet security threats.
When you have a business and have your presence on the web world, these online security threats are always lurking somewhere. Lack of security or lack of awareness can prove to be quite costly for your business. Nowadays, increasing number of companies are getting into cloud computing, which has made the hackers even more active. With critical threats like account hijacking, Denial of Service (DoS), data breaches etc., hovering in the cyber world, your precious website is always in the risk zone.firewallsecurityinternetwebserver
