Seeking web security recommendations.

[Robertpro]

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer behind SmartGSTCalc, a website dedicated to helping users navigate India's complex GST system. Security is my top priority, but I'm always looking for ways to improve and ensure my users' data remains safe.

That's why I'm reaching out to the security community for some expert advice! I'm particularly interested in suggestions on:

Server-side security: What best practices should I implement on my server to prevent vulnerabilities and intrusion attempts?
Data protection: How can I best encrypt and store user data (including GST calculations and business information) to safeguard against unauthorized access or breaches?
Input validation: What measures can I take to prevent malicious input and SQL injection attacks through the calculator and other user interactions?
Third-party integration: I use [Mention any third-party services you use, e.g., APIs, payment gateways]. Are there any specific security concerns I should address here?

I'm open to any general security tips and insights related to web development and GST-focused applications. I'm eager to learn and put your advice into practice to make SmartGSTCalc a secure haven for all users.

Thanks in advance for your expertise!

Sincerely,

If you want to improve web security, I?d recommend starting with the basics, like ensuring your website has SSL certificates (HTTPS) to protect your visitors? data. A solid firewall is also a must, especially for blocking unwanted traffic.

Also, keep your software up to date because outdated systems are a goldmine for hackers. For an extra layer of protection, you can consider using an ip stresser tool to test your server?s load and response time under stress. It?s a good way to see how your setup handles sudden traffic spikes, which can help prevent DDoS attacks. Also, remember strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for your accounts.
