Secure your Joomla! Website

posted in Blogging |

Joomla! Web Security is a new book from Packt that provides a concise overview of all the parts needed to construct and implement strong security measures for their Joomla! website. Written by Tom Canavan, this book teaches developers to secure their website by setting up an SSL and implementing disaster recovery features and using real-world tools to protect against hacks on their website.

Joomla! is one of the most powerful open-source content management systems used to build websites and other powerful online applications. While Joomla! itself is inherently safe, misconfigurations, vulnerable components, poorly configured hosts, and weak passwords can all contribute to the downfall of a website. This book will help conquer all these limitations and will show how to secure a website from security threats.

Users will be introduced to a strong approach to security. The book starts by showing users how to choose the right hosting sites and then moves quickly into implementing steps to securing the website and servers. Users will also learn about the harmful effects of SQL Injections and how to prevent them.

Through this book, users will explore several tools to help protect their website, handle security incidents, block nuisance IP addresses, and master the two important security layers - php.ini and .htaccess. Users will learn why security vulnerabilities exist and how to measure security by setting up metrics.
