In today's digital age, a business website is essential for success. Not only does it provide potential customers with information about your products or services, but it also allows you to connect and engage with them directly. However, simply having a website is not enough. To ensure that your site is effective and safe, you need to make sure that it has all the necessary security features. In this article, we will discuss twelve security features that every business website must have.

2022 is the year that much of the world managed, to varying degrees of success, to get back to normal. People ramped up traveling, returned to in-person activities and many returned to the office. The pandemic changed most aspects of day-to-day life, but hackers and other bad actors generally continued making life difficult for businesses, governments, and non-profit entities.

Welcome to the final episode in our blog series focused on Mobile Endpoint Security. The first two episodes detailed the protections necessary to secure data accessed by remote workers (Endpoint security and remote work) and best practices for combating the threat of ransomware 5 ways to prevent Ransomware attacks).

Ransomware’s first documented attack was relatively rudimentary. It was delivered via floppy disk containing a malware program in 1989 that told its victims to pay $189 in ransom to a PO Box in Panama. Today ransomware criminals are significantly more sophisticated, thanks to advances in cyber methods and cryptocurrencies. Not all Ransomware is created equally. Like all malware, malicious codes vary in sophistication and modularity. As such, not all ransomware codes are made the same.

For instance, the first six months of 2022 saw a whopping 40% increase in cyber-attacks from the previous year, with Ransomware being declared a state-level weapon. These attacks are causing severe disruptions to everyday lives, affecting essential services such as medical care, schools, etc.

Despite the ongoing rise in social engineering attacks, the idea that cybersecurity is only about technology manifests within most of our minds. Organizations often neglect human behavior's impact on their cybersecurity postures. Instead, they spend lavishly on endpoint security tools, threat hunting programs, and building incident response plans. Admittedly, these security measures are a crucial part of mitigating attacks.

The Mirai botnet is infamous for the impact and the everlasting effect it has had on the world. Since the inception and discovery of this malware in 2016, to present day and all the permutations that have spawned as a result, cybersecurity professionals have been keeping a keen eye on this form of Command and Control (C2 or CnC) malware and associated addresses.

Website owners generally have privacy policies and terms of service since they are necessary for compliance and ensuring website visitors get a personalized experience.
