We would not be lying if we say that data is one of the most valuable resources today. Loss of information due to hardware failure, virus attack, or human error can cause serious problems for businesses and individuals alike
A reliable backup – is not just an extra precaution, but a necessity
In an era where automated bots and attackers relentlessly scan servers looking for vulnerabilities, administrators have to keep their finger on the pulse of security. This is especially true for bruteforce attacks, where attackers endlessly search through passwords hoping to find the right one. If the server isn't secure, sooner or later someone will get to the wrong place.
Fortunately, there's a tool that helps block such "guests" automatically. Meet Fail2Ban — a program that analyzes logs and blocks IP addresses from which suspicious activity is coming. How does it work and how do you set it up correctly? Let's find out.
Today, website security is not a luxury, but a necessity. Even if you just have a cozy recipe blog or a small business website, cyber threats can do a lot of damage. A hack can lead to data breaches, virus infections, or even a complete loss of trust with your audience.
That's why we, as experts in hosting and web security, have prepared 10 simple but crucial rules for you that will really help to make your website more secure.
The Internet is designed to allow data to flow quickly and reliably between billions of devices worldwide. Within countries, this is done by terrestrial fiber-optic cables that stretch along roads, and through towns and villages. But how does your video call from Kyiv to Los Angeles go almost without delay? The answer is a fiber-optic communications system that connects continents at speeds that would make even a cheetah uncomfortable.
And no, it's not about satellites, as half of internet users think. Nearly 99% of international traffic runs through undersea fiber-optic lines, the digital arteries stretching across the oceans.
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) — is an attack where your server or website is flooded with a huge number of requests from multiple devices at the same time. Imagine, it's like having thousands of visitors trying to enter your small cafe with 10 tables at the same time - you simply don't have enough resources to serve them all. And your regular customers won't even be able to get to the door!
Let's divert a little from serious topics and learn a few funny stories about IP address usage. Perhaps you may have heard some of them before. But in any case, a good mood is guaranteed for those who finish reading!!
