bottom side, near the Verisign logo. Click that logo and what we got:

2. Xentinel Digital Security

Let see one of Xentinel's partner. If you visit www.usahuntingsupplies.com, an online stores, you'll see a logo HACKER FREE Certificate in right side. Small logo but that logo will make a big difference from other sites. Click the logo and what we got:

Xentinel’s HACKER FREE™ Certification means www.usahuntingsupplies.comis:

• 99.9% FREE from Hacker crime.
• Tested DAILY for thousands of vulnerabilities including the FBI/SANS TOP 20
• Notified immediately of any new vulnerabilities that may arise.
• Safe from identity theft and credit card fraud.
• In compliance with the Gramm Leach-Bliley, Childrens Privacy, HIPAA, and Sarbanes – Oxley Acts.

There are two thinks we need to clarify about this logo. First the word Hacker, seems people use Hacker word for something bad, something evil and destruct. And thats not right, but the stereotype is like that. People not hear too often about Cracker word so they blame all the bad and evil things to someone who they called a Hacker.

The second thing is Hacker Free certificate can't guarantee your site 100% free from 'Hacker'. Why? Security is a process not a product because it involving many aspects. Hacker is only one aspect in a security system. There are other items such the insider, software and web configuration also can harm your site. Security does not have to be perfect, but the risks have to be manageable (reduce).

If you have an online e-commerce sites and need a better protection for your sites you can contact McAfee or Xentinel. It wil help your client feels secure. But remember, its not 100% guarantee your sites will be safe.
