The Importance Of Security

Many web users with internet connections do not have basic anti-virus protection. With the increased incidence of online attacks these days, even "normal" or "personal" users of the web need firewall protection, to keep unwanted users from accessing their computer files. Even the most innocent of virus infections can prove time-consuming and costly for a business or individual.

Secure Your Web Site

When you publish your web site, it is open to attack from any source around the world. It is important to choose a hosting company who proactively look after the security of their web hosting accounts and have an excellent record in this area. The design of the web site and database must be such as to minimise damage in the event of a successful infiltration by a malicious third party.

What is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology is used to encrypt an online web browsing session to protect it from prying eyes. If you are collecting personal information from anyone, such as credit card information, private personal details, or any other priveleged data, you need this level of protection on your website. It is usually indicated by https:// at the start of the web address, and a padlock symbol at the bottom of the browser window.

What Is A Firewall?

A firewall is a software program or hardware device that protects an internet-connected computer from unauthorised access by a third party. Like anti-virus software, it needs to be updated regularly to remain effective against new types of online threats.


Secure Your Email

Email messages can be compared to postcards - they can potentially be read (or modified) by anyone whilst in transit. If you need absolute security you need to acquire a Certificate from a trusted third party, such as Thawte or Verisign, and use it to encrypt your emails. The recipient can be sure that any emails received from you have not been read or modified during transmission.
