Uploading files is a vital function for a number of applications and services. File uploads are commonly used in content management systems as well as other applications for business. However allowing hackers to upload files without restriction can expose your customers’ information to security breaches.
To ensure that your uploads are secure and downloading, you require an application that can check the uploaded files against an approved list of file types as well as checking them for viruses. This is especially important if you manage customer information and must comply with regulations such as HIPAA or GDPR for EU citizens.
A reliable system for uploading files should also encrypt the data both in flight and when it is in rest. This stops data from being easily read by third party and could save your business from costly lawsuits and fines resulting from non-compliance.
You should also store uploaded files on designated storage locations in your server, database, or cloud storage service and provide a link back to the file for the user. This helps reduce the chance of hackers getting access to your server and taking important information from your customers.
