Security Audits of Web Servers Used by Web Hosting Services
A security audit is mandatory to keep a check on the security of the web servers of the web hosting companies. It is the measurable technical assessment that is applicable to the systems and web applications of the web hosting services. It can either be done manually or can be done via a number of systems that are dedicated to the audits of the web servers used for web hosting applications. In this article, we are going to have a look at the same. Manual assessments as a means of methods to implement the security audits include the interviewing of staff, performing the routine scans of the web servers in order to check their susceptibility towards the vulnerability of the security modules and also reviewing of the applications that are hosted as a part of the web hosting services. There is also an important check towards the physical access of the systems with respect to the web hosting services. The methods implemented towards the assessment of the security in the web servers of the web hosting services can include a whole lot of issues. In the last few decades of the business of web hosting, there were ways in which the system used to generate the reports pertaining to the security of the web servers. By some of the web hosting companies that are established on a large scale, the security audits are considered in order to be mission critical. The commercial off the shelf products are put to use by the companies who are in the business of web hosting so that there can be an appropriate implementation of the security audits in to the systems. They have replaced the custom hardware and software which were previously put to use in order to achieve the goal of security audits of the web servers that form the backbone of any web hosting application. There has been change in the methods that have been used by the web hosting companies in order to perform the security audits. The web hosting companies have developed the audit reports based upon the audit event logging which log the process audit reports of each of the processes that govern the working of the web hosting companies. The transition of the web security implementations in the web hosting businesses lead to the transformation into the low priority of the customer requirements. The clients who do not have much of a say in the auditing system implementations of the web hosting companies have readily accepted such a transition. The consumer licenses that have been used by the web hosting companies to implement the COTS products have simply denied that they are all not liable towards the web security audit reports of the web hosting companies. The traditional loggings methods, however, are still put to use in the audit based systems of the web hosting companies. These traditional logging methods include the applications and their individual components in order to submit the free form of text messages. These text messages which depict the audit report status are submitted automatically to the system logging facilities like the Unix Syslog process or security modules of the Microsoft Windows systems. There is a problem which lies in the fundamentals of such systems used for the traditional event logging. The individual developer who is employed by the web hosting solutions determines what data should be fed into the system based upon which the audit reports are generated. This makes the job error prone when it comes to the parsing of reports formed by the several developers. Related articles
