A majority of people these days depend on technologies because they provide ways to carry out a wide range of activities with ease. However, they may face security vulnerabilities such as hacking, identify thefts, loss of data, tec. With cybercrime rates are increasing every year, organizations should focus more on implementing cybersecurity technologies for ensuring high protection from potential threats. On the other hand, it is necessary to know about them in detail for gaining more ideas.
How individuals and companies lose their data?
Before understanding the importance of cybersecurity, individuals and companies should know how they lose their data which helps a lot to prevent them effectively.
1. Opening unauthorized links
HTTPS is a standard protocol meant for sharing and communicating data safely. At the same time, there are some links that use HTTP protocol only and users should avoid them for preventing loss of data.
To secure your website with HTTPS, you will need to setup an SSL certificate, for those of you who use Webhost.sh, you can easily buy & setup SSL through our addon packages.
2. Spam messages
Individuals and companies receive spam messages that will steal information. Some spam messages may cause malware problems on a device and users shouldn’t open them quickly.
Webhost.sh also offers an addon package that helps to reduce spam in your inbox.
3. Applications
Most apps will ask users to submit their personal details including bank accounts. However, it is advisable to avoid them as most applications will sell the data to third-parties.
4. Weak privacy precautions
Any device is vulnerable to malware and data threats unless it doesn’t have strong protection from thefts and other problems. Hence, it is a wise one to update or upgrade a device with apps and other applications for ensuring more privacy.
5. Malware and Ransomware
Malware is s type of virus or Trojan that enters into a device through a malicious software program that can attack the data. Ransomware involves hacking a system using malware and asking money to access the own data.
6. Hacking and spyware
Hacking involves gaining unauthorized access to a system that lead to data loss. It involves injecting harmful files or apps on any device that aims damaging sensitive details. Spyware involves the installation of a software program on a device without consent while downloading a free file.
Cybersecurity for getting more protection from data loss
Cybersecurity aims at increasing high-level security to companies by using technologies and tools. It will help a lot to invest in technologies that can limit the loss of information to a large extent. Apart from that, it educates all levels of organizations that can help know more about how to use digital devices appropriately to minimize scams and other issues.
At Webhost.sh we work to offer as many different services and methods to increase the privacy and security of our clients.
Some of these methods include:
- DDoS Protection
Our servers come with basic DDoS protection, and we offer other tools such as Cloudflare to help mitigate Layer 7 HTTP/HTTPS DDoS attacks.
If you require DDoS protection stronger than what our basic plans offer, please CONTACT US
2. SSL Certificates
One of our many addons offers to easily purchase and install an SSL certificate in order to add HTTPS to your website.
Adding HTTPs is key to keeping your website secure for its users. For many security-minded people, they may decide not to use your website just based on the fact that your website is not encrypted through HTTPs.
For more information regarding our SSL certificates, check out our SSL products
3. Site Security
Another addon we offer provides malware protection for websites, as well helps to block out vulnerabilities, and can help increase user security, and encrypts sensitive data. For more information check out our Website Protection products
4. Packet Filtering
Using packet filtering we’re able to designate what IPs can access certain parts of your website, as well as block access entirely.
Using this method, we can set up a whitelist, where only allowed IPs are able to access the website, and only through using HTTPS, this usually involves using Cloudflare and only allowing their IP ranges to access, we then will whitelist your personal IP address to have access to admin sections of your website, cPanel, PhpMyAdmin, etc…
While this method is not currently offered on the website, we do offer this for a small one-time addon fee.
Or, using tools in cPanel, you can edit “HTACCESS” to achieve the same result.
