Updated Versions –

Daily check the versions of the applications and update them from time to time. The update adds many features to the security sections.

HTTP and HTTPs-

We always ignore the‘s’ in the HTTP. We think that it doesn’t matter at all but it’s very important to have an‘s’ in the HTTP. Unlike the HTTP, the HTTPs connection is an encrypted connection and it’s fully secured.

So always prefer the SSL/HTTPs connection over the HTTP.

Extensions-

There are many extensions which are developed for the Magento users. They vary in terms of security and price but it’s good to invest some amount in the extensions for enhancing the security of our e-commerce store.

Passwords are the boss –

In the modern world, hackers update themselves on the daily basis. They use a huge amount of methods to guess your passwords. So, you should create strong passwords with the combinations of letters, special characters, numbers, and some senseless words so that it becomes extremely difficult to guess your desired password.
