Web Hosting — The Security Risks
Deri Jones · Network Security · 2001
A company’s website is critical to it’s business. It relies on the site to provide information to its customers — as an interface to communicate with them or sell goods online. As such, it needs to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing a lightening fast response with first grade security. These things cannot always be achieved without a significant up-front investment and huge on-going costs. For many organizations it is a lot to take on. Unless a company has in-depth internal technical resources, outsourcing may be the way to go. Outsourcing promises to reduce the expense and eliminate many of the headaches associated with running an active and successful website.
