There are many centralized web services that operate around the world with high security. There's a large array of conventional techniques for securing servers. Admittedly most people and companies are bad at this.
- jqpabc123 4y agoThere are many centralized web services that operate around the world with high security. I know. I have run one for over 20 years. My solution --- build a unique, custom, single purpose web server software that only supports a very strict set of functionality after every single request has been thoroughly vetted. I see the attacks mounted against my server on a daily basis --- mostly focused around canned, off the shelf server software and the endless flaws and shortcomings in either the software itself or how it is configured. A server dealing with money will likely attract increased attention and sophistication. Admittedly most people and companies are bad at this. My point exactly.
