Finding the right security and encryption freelancers on the internet is a overwhelming challenge. Trust and security is of the main priority and should not be taken lightly. There are incidents when affiliate marketers have had their sites SEOd and new security programs installed because they were unsure of how to do it. To make a long story short, this affiliate found his sales dwindle after the work was fulfilled. He had to hire another programmer that discovered that the first company actually set up a competitor’s site with links from his site that stole all of his business and revenue.
The security with WEP encryption keeps out the common burglars on the internet. The problem is that it is easily hacked by those with some experience. It may not as bad as a locked door to keep honest people honest, but it’s close to it. When you are interviewing an encryption freelancer, they should know about WEP, but that should not be the extent of their knowledge. There are free WEP hacking programs that are readily available on the internet. If it is, then it is time to find another candidate for your freelance outsourcing project. One of sites that have great coders is Globfreelance.com
Firewalls are used by most internet users and this is sufficient if no valuable data is on your computer. For those with wireless networks at home, the best security is with WPA2 encryption with strong AES keys. Know what these terms mean so you can find out if the freelance artist you are interviewing really knows what they are doing or just full of it. The WPA2 is the acronym for Wi Fi Protected Access. This was originally WPA1 in 2003, but has been upgraded and is considered safe as of 2009 with its strong and uncommon passphrases.
Most programs are designed to run applications and little is thought about their security when they are being developed. The more security your program has, the less efficient it will operate. Once a program is completed, it needs external protection because changing the coding would interfere with its operation. Many expert freelancers that deal with security take the approach of defense in depth. This approach is to have multi layers of defensive systems. No security system is impenetrable, but you can make it extremely difficult for hackers to invade your system. The more layers of protection that you have, the longer it will take for a hacker to break through all of them and into your system. Ask any freelancer encoder or security expert on Globfreelance.com and how many they recommend.
The subsystems that are needed to be used should have a default of fail-safe. This will help not give any hacker a platform to stand on when invading your network. Ask any interviewee how they plan to achieve this level of security.
Just remember, the more secure your system is the more it will cost. Most freelancers that specialize in security and encryption can build a system that, for all practical purposes, are impenetrable, but the cost is extremely high. Many security coders are member on Globfreelance. Visit this site and post your project.
