More than 97% of websites have at least one unaddressed vulnerability. But not all vulnerabilities are created equal. So it can be difficult to decide when remedial action to take and – importantly — when to take it. In this timely white paper, we suggest a series of Best Practices to apply when you are informed that your website or application might be exposed using the Website Vulnerability and Exploit Response model (WVER) – applicable to all software platform and technology environments.

Website security continues to be a moving target as technology evolves and malicious attacks continue to evolve with it. While the website security best practices provided in this document are not all-inclusive, they form the core of what we consider to be relatively easy to implement set of website security policies that protect against most common attacks. Taking these few simple steps beyond just adding an SSL Certificate could be the difference that prevents an attack.
