Secure Web
Secure Web is one of our principles included in all the services offered by Injeniero.
A secure website not only protects its users but also minimizes the commercial risks of the companies that process business data, such as:
-
Put companies at a competitive disadvantage by sharing their sensitive information with competitors.
-
Downgrading or malfunctioning of their services, which can cause financial and reputational losses.
-
Legal consequences by putting your customers’ privacy at risk, making them vulnerable to profiling, segmentation, data loss, identity theft, or even financial loss.
At Injeniero we use best web security practices in conjunction with the specific needs of each industry. For example, the healthcare industry must comply with certain legal requirements for the handling of medical information with official best practices, such as regulations on health information (HIPAA). Ditto financial industry (KYC), construction, food, real estate, etc.
It should be remembered that every system is hackable. This is because when designing a system, assumptions are made (often completely reasonable under the circumstances), but they are discovered exploitable in other contexts, or components that are used are blindly trusted (and have vulnerabilities), or they are managed by humans, which are possible to deceive via social engineering, among others.
A “simple” website involves the use of an operating system, hardware, networks, static files, APIs, browsers, devices (pc, mobile), among others, each with its own vulnerabilities. In turn, depending on how the html is generated (dynamic, static), classes and areas of attacks are introduced/eliminated. Computer security is indeed very complex and its management is based on accepting the fact that systems are hackable, establishing policies and procedures to avoid/reduce/mitigate the risks associated with attacks, and to be able to respond in a timely manner to incidents.
Injeniero uses OWASP and other sources of information, along with the particular needs of each client to design the security of their systems or websites.
