Why do I need PitBull security for my e-commerce web server?
Experts agree that PitBull’s operating system-level security is critical for e-commerce servers. Without securing the operating system of your mission-critical e-commerce server, you are significantly and unnecessarily placing yourself at risk. Traditional security mechanisms, while an important piece of an overall security architecture, are inadequate to secure e-commerce web servers when used alone. Once an attacker has gained legitimate access to your site (i.e., crossed the firewall), and authenticates themselves as a valid user of the system with a customer account password or PIN, they have virtually free access to your system and its connections to your internal network. These security mechanisms can only secure against access to the system. They have no control over what a user can or can not do on the system. Only OS-level security can provide this level of protection.
