Each platform has several points that are the most common targets of attack. If the web developer pays attention to these zones when creating the site, it will significantly reduce the risks to the content and provide unhindered access to the site:

• Contact forms, surveys and other segments of the site where readers can enter some parameters are certainly the places of highest risk because they allow direct access to the system. If they are not necessary for the operation of the site, it is wise to give up the contact form, while surveys can be limited to one entry per IP address. An interactive relationship with readers can be developed in a separate space that is not directly related to the site itself;
• The database is also one of the riskier parts of the site. By sending illogical and complex queries to the database, it can be blocked if there is a vulnerability, which prevents readers from accessing the site. The solution is to strictly validate each entry in the database and prevent illegitimate queries via URL or otherwise;
• Third-party software that is installed on a platform to make it more interesting can often be an additional risk. This software usually comes in the form of various themes or with objects that improve the functionality and appearance of the site, but it can also contain code or a security flaw that compromises the integrity of the site. Therefore, it is important to always use software made by credible sources, i.e. software for which there is a sufficient number of positive reviews online.
