You need to make sure that you have a secure web server or database server. One of the first things that I recommend is to have a strong firewall. By having a strong firewall you can try to cut down on potential threats. One of the threats that are out there is Denial of servers’ attacks this attack will try to prevent you client from connecting to your server.
These threats can come from any source. You would need to make sure that you update the Web server to stay up on the latest and greatest security enchantments.

Four security threats that can impact a web server are active wiretapping, phishing expeditions, masquerading and a delay attack. Active wiretapping is when an unauthorized party changes a message stream of information. An example of this would be a deposit that was done online and the amount of the deposit is altered. Phishing expeditions are when a bogus email is sent to someone and they are asked to enter password, username and even credit card information, which would be used fraudulently. Masquerading is when a fake version of a website is sent to a recipient. A delay attack is when the speed of accessing website is slowed down considerably or even to the point where it is inaccessible. I would consider active wiretapping the most important because this could cause altered banking transactions, and this would happen after you made the transaction, without your knowledge. Also, the transaction could leave you without any money left in your bank accounts. The next important threat would be a phishing expedition. This is because there are those that wouldn’t pick up any differences in the webpage and would give their confidential information out. As with wiretapping, this can also cause monetary loss for the victim and the need for you to change your banking information. Masquerading would be the next important because the victim could have online orders changed, as well as the address the order was to be delivered to. Lastly, a delay attach would seem the least
