The integrity and security of official websites are very important because they represent the
reputation and trustworthiness of organizations. Incidences of website-attacks may shake the
confidence of investors and customers towards that organization. Thus, protecting and
preserving corporate websites should be a priority for all.
According to Zone-H, an archive of defaced websites, there are 60,000 to 120,000 of website
defacement incidents every month on a global scale. Many organizations may not be aware that
their websites are vulnerable to malicious threats and hacks, thus making them easy targets for
vandalism or cyber-thefts.
Even for organizations that are aware of the need for securing websites, efforts towards cyber
security can often be ad-hoc or patch-work. A comprehensive approach is needed to be able to
guard against and respond swiftly to cyber threats effectively, and the steps involved in this
cycle are explained further in this article.
