Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is an exciting release because it brings
the ability to create dynamic web applications to a large audience.
More people than ever before now have the tools they need to quickly
and easily connect their web sites to databases and do everything
from collect e-mail address to open fully functional storefronts.
With that power comes quite a bit of responsibility, however—both
to yourself, your clients, and the users of your site. You have
a responsibility to create a secure application, which for our
purposes means protecting the data that you collect and store
so that it doesn't fall into unauthorized hands.
Creating a secure application is not an especially difficult
task, but it does mean paying some attention to what you are doing.
Some steps that you can take during the development and deployment
of your site will go a long way toward protecting your data. They
involve not only Dreamweaver MX itself but the database program
that you use. |
