I am sorry you did not find this useful… but in defense of the content it was not intended to be a complete IT solution TOP 10 List, in fact I have been looking for a guest poster that could fulfill those requirements in those areas. In my experience we do really well with the things that focus on is family safety and easy to implement PC solutions and awareness for daily internet security… and would totally agree with you that what was needed to hit this with more of a harder edge and piratical list of solutions for website owners and that to be fully secure you need to take a much more aggressive approach and make stronger permanent solutions for IT Security!

So, now here is where you can be a great asset to our readers and also to much wider audience by putting together a very complete list and add to what you have already shared OSA readers and I will make it a featured post on our website, and highlight in our online magazine\\'s next issue with a background story of what you brought my attention…

I will be glad to do more as well if you would like to come on board as a contributing OSA staff writer and be a part of the OSA team I will put in the OSA editor you can create a bio box to point back to your sites, and see if we could be a benefit to each other?

Thanks again for comment,

Bill

Examples? Securing an email address should NEVER have two of the top spots on a "top 10 ways to secure your site" list. There are much more important considerations in securing your site and, frankly, if you get away with just having to deal with spam, you should consider yourself lucky.

"Secure your source code" is way too vague. Specifically, you're trying to protect your *client-side* code (i.e., Javascript). How would someone make the code "hidden"? They can't… not client-side code, that is; server-side code is hidden, if you choose to think of it that way. The best you can do with protecting your Javascript from theft is to use code obfuscation techniques. For all you nitpickers, I'm excluding server-side Javascript from this.

Software patches and updates? Don't assume that your audience is all building their site off of prebuilt packages like WordPress, Drupal, etc. Teach them how to secure *anything*. Mention the updates and all of that for the ones that are using prebuilts and, for the ones that aren't, mention the important types of attacks that they need to protect against! XSS, email header injection, code and SQL injections, directory traversal, etc. Talk about how to protect the site by educating people on how to do it, or at least what to look for.

The rest deserves no real mention. This needs more pertinent information, or it's just hurting the readers… not helping.
