Communication protocols to access a website: -

HTTP - It is known as the HyperText Transfer Protocol which will be used for transferring files such as text, music, image and video onto the World Wide Web.

FTP - It is known as the File Transfer Protocol which will be used for transferring files from the client onto the server.

HTTPS - It is known as the HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure which will also be used for transferring files onto the World Wide Web that will be delivered within the secured connection.

TelNet - It is a network protocol which will be used for remote computing over the Internet or computer network.

IPsec - It is known as Internet Protocol Security which will be used for protecting the data traffic over the network of Internet Protocol (IP) such as VPNs.

MPLS Describe MPLS is stands for Multiprotocol label switching which is a mechanism used inside the computer network infrastructures to speed up the time it takes a data packet to flow from a node to another. Diagram How it works In MPLS , packets are directed through the network based on an assigned label with original IP routing in a packet- switched network, each data packet could determine its own path through the network. Examples Traffic engineering network management ATM Description ATM is a technique for packet switching that is used by telecommunication networks which they used asynchronous time-division multiplexing to encode data into small fixed sized cells. It is known as Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Diagram How it works The sender and receiver on a network creates a fixed channel between each other before sending the data and then the information will be sent in order. Example It is used in the campus backbone. References Tech...

1. Keep the Software Up to Date Always keep the website to be up to date so that no hacker will not easily access onto the information from the web server. - Need to keep the website up to date so that to protect it from getting new threats. 2. Block SQL Injection SQL injection is an attack which vulnerable on bypassing the security of the website application. By inputting validation and limiting the queries can prevent the SQL injection attacks. - adding of codes to the database with a proper language 3. Prevent XSS Cross-site Scripting (XSS) will manipulate the vulnerable website into a malicious code for the user and when it is executed, the attacker can access and interact with the user's application. - Client-side - the attacker create a script or code to bypass the security of the application. 4. Providing Minimal Error Messages  Creating a least error messages for the website to be secured so that the information of the website will not be lost. such as Err...
