When discussing Obray, we tend to focus on its features and ease of use. These topics are great but sometimes they steal the spotlight from the less sexy topic of security. This is a shame, because Obray is pretty darn safe. With cyber attacks and identity theft on the rise, solid security should be an essential part of any content management system (CMS). Here are a few factors that make Obray what it is:
Distribution
Systems with a large user base are more likely to be attacked. Think about it. If you're a hacker, it's in your best interest to discover vulnerabilities in a widely distributed content management system. The effort spent cracking the code would be much more beneficial. It is estimated there are nearly 50 million websites using Wordpress. A few hundred sites are on Obray. The time spent trying to exploit it wouldn't be worth it to most hackers, though some have still tried.
Protected Code
The code behind the Obray conent managment system is not made public, so it cannot be inspected for weaknesses by a random hacker. In fact, only a few individuals in the company have access to it. In addition, SQL Injection protection and bad code insertion protection have been put in place to prevent any tampering by unauthorized users.
Automatic Updates
Updates occur automatically, behind the scenes, so you don't have to worry about constantly upgrading to ensure your system is protected. When weaknesses in the code are found, they are fixed and updated immediately. It's all automated.
Safe Data
The following precautions have been put in place to maximize user privacy:
- Obray uses the latest Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
- No credit card numbers are saved
- Important and sensitive data such as passwords are encrypted when stored using an irreversible salted hash.
Regular Backups
All data is regularly backed up to ensure no critical data is lost.
