Bezbednost na internetu
Držite svoje sajtove na internetu
Pored toga što ćete se postarati da bezbedno pristupate internetu, takođe je bitno da uradite sve što možete da biste se postarali da drugi mogu da pristupe vašim sajtovima ili vašim drugim lokacijama na internetu. Kad su u pitanju stranice na društvenim mrežama, to znači da te naloge morate da zaštitite jakim, jedinstvenim nalozima i dvostrukom potvrdom identiteta. U slučaju vašeg sajta, to znači da morate da ga zaštitite od hakera i DDoS napada. DDoS napadi su slučajevi gde velika grupa kompjutera istovremeno zatrpava vaš server zlonamernim saobraćajem. Ako ste organizacija civilnog društva ili druga neprofitna organizacija, onda verovatno možete da dobijete besplatnu DDoS zaštitu - koja značajno otežava pritivniku da vam obori sajt - preko servisa kao što su Cloudflare-ov Project Galileo, Google-ov Project Shield ili eQualitie-ev Deflect.
Hosting your Parliament's Website Securely
Websites are hosted on computers - and those are vulnerable to hacking just like your own devices. If possible, your parliament should take advantage of existing hosting services like WordPress, Wix, or others that manage all the site security for you. If your website needs are more complex and/or you need to host your website yourself, then be sure to focus on keeping your operating system and web hosting software up to date, just like you would for your personal computer. Consider using well-established cloud hosting providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Greenhost’s eclips.is, which provide enhanced security options for hosted websites. Regardless of what tools you use to host your website, ensure that any accounts used to access content editing and configuration settings are protected with strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
If your parliament has the technical savvy to host its own website, you should consider choosing a so-called “static-site” or flat website. As opposed to dynamic websites, these types of sites reduce the attack surface for hackers and will make your website more attack resistant.
