How can corporate official websites set access restrictions to prevent black market intrusion?

Corporate official websites can set access restrictions to prevent black market intrusion through several technical measures. Here’s how:

  1. IP Whitelisting/Blacklisting: Restrict access by allowing only trusted IP addresses (whitelisting) or blocking known malicious IPs (blacklisting). For example, if a company identifies suspicious traffic from specific regions, it can block those IP ranges.
    Example: A financial institution allows access only to its employees' office IP addresses and blocks all others.

  2. Geolocation Filtering: Block traffic from high-risk countries or regions where black market activities are prevalent.
    Example: An e-commerce site restricts access to users in countries with a history of fraudulent transactions.

  3. Rate Limiting & CAPTCHA: Prevent automated bots from scraping data or launching attacks by limiting request rates and requiring CAPTCHA verification.
    Example: A ticketing website uses CAPTCHA to block bot registrations and rate limits API calls to prevent scraping.

  4. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to filter malicious traffic, such as SQL injection or DDoS attacks, before it reaches the website.
    Example: Tencent Cloud’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) helps block common web exploits and provides real-time threat detection.

  5. Authentication & Access Control: Require strong user authentication (e.g., multi-factor authentication) for sensitive areas of the website.
    Example: A corporate portal restricts access to financial data by requiring employees to log in with MFA.

  6. Monitoring & Logging: Continuously monitor traffic patterns and log suspicious activities for analysis.
    Example: Tencent Cloud’s Cloud Monitor and Log Service help track abnormal access attempts and generate alerts.

  7. HTTPS & Encryption: Enforce HTTPS to encrypt data in transit, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks.
    Example: A healthcare website uses TLS 1.3 to secure patient data transmission.

For enhanced security, Tencent Cloud’s DDoS Protection and Security Center can further safeguard websites from large-scale attacks and vulnerabilities.
