Abstract

Content management systems become more popular and due to the speed provided during the development the number of websites developed with a CMS growns extremely. This is the reason the sites developed with a CMS become a more attractive target for cybercriminals. The CMSes are divided in 2 categories: free open-source and paid. According to that categorization the security level of the system is limitless. As part of my research, we are investigating only the free tools supporting the application development process and the presented tools and softwares are only from personal experience! So for the present article, we are going to present the Umbraco CMS with its integrated security tools and some other free to use tricks in order for the system we develop to be secure.
