Magento 2 Security Practices
Having an online store on Magento 2 shields you
in many ways with its time-to-time updates and
features. Yet, the current spending on site
vulnerabilities wont let you ignore it
especially when Gartner estimates it 133.7
billion in 2022. However, while you upgrade to
Magento 2, lots of security practices are
already done. And for full-blown Magento 2
security practices, you can thank us
later. Magento announced it for Magento EOL (End
Of Life) long ago and the sound can be clearly
heard now. As a Magento Development Agency, we
hope you have also reached safely on Magento 2,
for the sake of security. Nevertheless,
extending safety technologies are followed by
stocking security threats. In such cases, its
better to be aware of the next security
practices.

Use Updated Software

• The latest version of Magento with all the latest
  security patches- Magento regularly updates
  security patches and updates to check website
  potential and vulnerabilities. For that, it will
  be best if you regularly update these security
  patches, so keep your platform update and safety
  measures too. However, there are some steps you
  have to ensure when upgrading a site
• Backup code and database before changes
• Change your Magento root directory into an
  upgraded one
• Use SSH to login remote server
• Commit, add and push code changes
• Update your project
• Verify your Magento version
• Complete deployment

Use Updated Extensions

• Extensions are made to work easy, dont use them
  as a burden and security threats. Ensure the
  safety of extension before choosing it for your
  site. If you are using an older one, make sure
  its upgraded. Moreover, to upgrade your Magento
  extension, you can follow these steps
• Create a new branch on your local workstation and
  then make any changes.
• Disable your extensions as per requirements.
• Download extension upgrades as per the
  availability.
• Install the upgrade as documented
• Test enable extensions
• Commit, add and push code changes to remote
• Test in your integration environment
• Push to the staging environment to test in a
  pre-production environment

Other Tips for Magento 2 Security
Strict File Permissions- For preventing your file
from tempting and hacking, assure your file
permissions are strict. As per Magento rule book,
your core file and directory should be set with
the read-only setting. The 777 file permission
should always be avoided, as it offers all to
read, write and execute permission to all users.
Rather than this, active 640, so its available
for owners only. Regularly Backup data-
Precaution is better than cure! And this rule
goes for website security also. In the case of
Magneto, ensure your database and server are
automatically directed to an external location.
So when there is any malware attack, you have all
your data in safe hands.

Other Tips for Magento 2 Security
Protect your server- HTTPS/SSL are the security
layers of your site while communicating with the
server. Other than that, dont install extensions
directly on the server but disable Magento
downloader. As another option, you can
remove/block access or better if use a
whitelisting method. Activate web app farewell-
By filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between
web application and internet, this is how
farewell secures your site. Farewell protects
your site from harmful bots, blacklisted IPs and
petty users.
