E-commerce security issue

Today, there are a lot of Issues concerning E-commerce. One of them is web-administrator. Web-administrator is the most important job in a certain company which relay to internet as its media of transaction. Those web-administrators need to really understand their customer about what they want, because they have to create a very secure web without sacrificing the comfort of the customer. Understanding each detail of the codes that they have created is the most important thing. This is to avoid the exploiter who they called their self hacker getting into their network and doing unwanted thing. They need to always be aware of the possible treats that might happen to their website and how to fix it. One little mistake could create a disaster to the whole company.

For me web-administrator is a very challenging job. It requires our conscientiousness in doing something. It is true that a website need to be as secure as it can to avoid unwanted thing such as hacker. But by hearing a word hacker doesn’t always mean a disaster will happen to the development of a web-site. Hackers are also helpful in a web-development progress, because during development we can ask hackers to try to break in into the site to test the vulnerability of the web-site. In my own opinion being attacked by a hacker doesn’t always mean bad thing will happen, because with that attack the web-administrator can evaluate what they have done so far including their mistakes, how to fix it and how to avoid it in later time.
