Customers need to know that any information they share is protected and confidential.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, Google Chrome will begin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kevinmurnane\/2017\/08\/22\/chrome-will-soon-warn-you-about-unsecure-websites-should-you-be-concerned\/#6077067317e3\">warning people of unsecured websites<\/a>.This means any time someone tries to access a site that&#8217;s not secure, Google will display a message within the address bar.<\/p>\n<p>If your site is one of them, people will feel wary about spending any time on it. They&#8217;ll begin to wonder if their information can be stolen. That&#8217;s a risk you can&#8217;t afford to take.<\/p>\n<p>To be a credible secure site, you&#8217;ll need to know the basics. Ready to find out what they are?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get into it!<\/p>\n<h2>A Secure Site is Spelled as HTTPS<\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever noticed how some websites have &#8216;HTTP&#8217; or &#8216;HTTPS&#8217; at the beginning of their URL? This indicates whether the site is secured.<\/p>\n<p>Adopting a URL that begins with HTTPS is the best thing to do. This tells the user it&#8217;s a safe site to access.<\/p>\n<p>All information shared is encrypted. No information can be stolen while visiting that site.<\/p>\n<p>Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionbail.com\/immigration-bail-bonds\">Action Immigration Bail Bonds<\/a> for example. Their URL begins with HTTPS so users know hackers can&#8217;t track their activities or get a hold of their financial information.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep Software Up to Date<\/h2>\n<p>Hackers are always on the lookout for websites that aren&#8217;t updated regularly. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because when that software isn&#8217;t kept up to date, it&#8217;s left vulnerable. There are &#8220;holes&#8221; hackers can get into to compromise your site.<\/p>\n<p>If your site is operated by a third-party software such as a CMS, be sure to apply those security patches as soon as they become available. If you use a hosting company, they should automatically apply those updates for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Use a Strong Password<\/h2>\n<p>Not only is it a good habit to have among your personal social media profiles but for your website as well. Hackers can easily locate your admin login page in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>When they do, they&#8217;ll try to hack into your account by figuring out your password. It only takes about a day to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationsecuritybuzz.com\/articles\/the-importance-of-strong-passwords\/\">crack an eight-character password<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Using a complex password needs to be a requirement if you want a secure site. The moment your files and user data is compromised, it&#8217;s hard to recover.<\/p>\n<p>To maximize protection, change your password every two months. Or implement a two-step verification process.<\/p>\n<h2>XSS Protection<\/h2>\n<p>XSS stands for cross-site scripting. It&#8217;s an attack that hackers use to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siteuptime.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/10\/here-are-the-types-of-cyber-attacks-that-could-bring-down-your-hospital-network\/\">inject malicious codes<\/a> into your website.<\/p>\n<p>They do so by leaving a comment somewhere on your site with the code. Anyone who sees that comment is automatically affected.<\/p>\n<p>Scary stuff, right? The point of this type of attack is to steal credentials and other data.<\/p>\n<p>If your site allows comments anywhere, even blog posts, change the settings to manually approve every comment. This&#8217;ll limit the chance of an XSS attack from happening and it&#8217;ll help cut down on spam as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>Keeping your bail bonds website secure is number one. You&#8217;re not only protecting your own information but your client&#8217;s as well.<\/p>\n<p>They want to feel safe while perusing your site and inputting sensitive information. It&#8217;s vital to prevent attacks before they happen.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know what&#8217;s going on with your site?
