XI Internet Web Server Security
Web server security is becoming more
and more important, as more and more commerce is being conducted over
the web. Today, most web servers are protected by firewalls
(as described above), and many are also situated behind proxy servers
that offer an additional layer of protection. Despite these safety
efforts, web servers are still vulnerable due to bugs
in the servers’ software.
No web server is immune from so-called
“exploits” which take advantage of programming errors in the
servers. As a responsible network administrator, you should keep up
to date on the availability of security patches for your particular
web server software, be it IIS, Apache, or some other product. (And
more than keeping up to date on patch availability, you should keep
up to date on patch APPLICATION).
As noted previously, traffic between
the web server and the end user is a concern as well,
because the data is being transmitted between the end-user and
the web site is often sensitive (including personal details,
credit card numbers, etc.). When designing web pages, take care to
see that pages, which reference these types of sensitive information,
use the SSL protocol mentioned in our discussion of encryption.
