Experts in the field anticipate cyber-crime in 2012 could rise as high as 7000% from 6 years ago

Wow, the more we learn about web security these days and the capabilities of hackers, the more we are in awe! So many folks do not adequately protect their web assets from even the many common or well know threats and vulnerabilities let alone the even more dangerous cyber criminals that could completely steal your identity and milk your bank accounts.

In a recent security audit we found that if you are not protected with a tool like Secure Live (www.securelive.net) and other server side security monitoring solutions, hackers can find ways to penetrate the deepest levels of your server environment by installing stealth scripts that allow them to do just about anything they want with your data and any other data stored on the server. These scripts can be buried layers deep in directories that you would never find and could go virtually undetected allowing the hacker to leverage your server for a variety of exploitations.

Joomla! CMS project Mistake Number Three: Having bigger ideas than your budget, resources and time will allow or than what is actually needed to provide the intended solution.

Often times we get a client with a relatively small budget and limited web experience that wants us to do all of the work and expects a fully functional Amazon type of ecommerce web portal system. Needless to say this is rather unrealistic. Robust features and capabilities are abundant with few limitations when building a portal system using Joomla! CMS. This platform is built on open source code and you can leverage over 7500+ 3^rd party extensions. However, where you do have limitations is in the skill level and resources available from the principle instigator as it relates to the scope or vision they want to implement.

Mistake Number Two: Not staying focused on what is important

When a project begins someone usually writes a big laundry list of all the features they want. Most often this has not yet been reviewed in depth by a developer whom can provide detailed specifications for the project tasking. At http://www.cnpintegrations.com/ and most consulting firms like ours, we call this the discovery phase of the project where we go through this list and map it to either business processes or available extensions for the Joomla! CMS.

In this discovery phase we try to bridge the gaps between what is already available or requires custom coding, how the client could alter their business processes to be more effective or reduce costs and to assess the training required for the client’s users and stakeholders to be effective.
