Posted by alvina on November 27th, 2017

Most of the work is done digitally nowadays and those who have not switched over to digital mode are trying to adopt it. The fallout of this is that now digital mode is becoming the preferable mode for all the works like paying bills, communicating, and so on.

Every business and enterprise owns a website and all the actions are done via this website. Anyone who wishes to know about the company logs into the website to get all the information about it.

You can even communicate like asking for quotes and the like via these sites and your queries will be answered too. Transfer of money and data are also done via the sites and email. All your business transactions are done digitally.

This calls for security of these sites but are these secure? No, they are not. You hear that there is data theft and the also your money can be stolen by using your credentials in the bank to transfer the money from your account to the attacker’s account.

Each and every website can be vulnerable. And the need of the hour is cross-site scripting protection. A malicious entity can trick the user or victim into performing some action on behalf of the attacker. Then the victim who uses the cross-site request forgery protectioncan be safe.

So to be on the safer side you need to use the protections like the above. Everyone has a different experience with the security lapse so you cannot use the same security trick that someone else uses. One may need to get protection from cross-site scripting but your issue may be different then you may need to use cross-frame scripting protection.

Anyone can be vulnerable to the malicious entities that the attackers make use for theft of data from your computer. To protect yourself you need to follow some security measures.

Your web security is important. You should not tick on the feature of remembering the password. This can be stolen by the malicious entity let loose by the attacker. This is a gateway for the attacker to steal your data.

Instead of repenting after everything is stolen you can take some care and keep the data as safe as possible. Your safety is in your hands.
