Hack-Proof

Companies which provide certified Drupal 8
development services are today the most sought
after by enterprises for building business
websites which can deliver engaging digital
experience to their stakeholders. However,
despite Drupal being a highly secure CMS
platform, achieving watertight security of your
invaluable business data on a Drupal built
website requires a more proactive approach.

Drupal comes out with two major upgrades every
year besides providing minor updates every now
and then. Each upgrade includes bug fixes and
security patches which help safeguard your site
against cyber-attacks. It is advisable not to
delay this process as an outdated script can give
hackers easy access to your online web portal.

• Security Tip 1 Always Keep Drupal Updated to
  the Latest Version

Drupal allows you to set different security
privileges for anonymous as well as authenticated
users, so be sure to make use of this feature.
Its always wise to give limited access to
anonymous or suspicious users. Also, FTP should
be preferred for logging in securely.

• Security Tip 2 Plug the Gaping Holes in
  Administrative Control of your Website

Often during Drupal module development developers
throw caution to the wind and get lured into
using plugins, modules and customizable themes
for adding to the aesthetic appeal of the
website. However, these add-ons at times come
laden with malware which could grant unauthorized
access of your site to hackers.

• Security Tip 3 Avoid Using Unnecessary Add-Ons

6
When the goal is of securing your website against
hackers no amount of measures can be considered
enough. Its always better to keep yourself
well-equipped by using additional security
modules like Captcha, Paranoia, and Security Kit.

• Security Tip 4 Deploy Additional Security
  Modules

Strong passwords are like an unconstrained
insurance policy for your website, period. What
increases the significance of having strong
passwords even more is that passwords are used
both at the admin as well as user level.

• Security Tip 5 Follow a Strong Password Policy

There are lessons to be learned from every
successful cyber-attack as it exposes another
loophole. The bottom line is that while the
hacking techniques will continue to evolve and
the hackers continue reinventing themselves, so
will the modern security systems. However, one
should never underestimate the determination of a
hacker who is time-rich and cash-poor and is
already busy planning his next hack which could
well be on your website. The onus lies on you to
prepare yourself to thwart his attempt.
