It's a sad fact of life for today's information-driven organizations that the nature of security threats is continuously shifting and evolving. Intrusion mechanisms such as worms, Trojans and rootkit exploits continually evolve into more-developed forms and wax and wane in terms of number and frequency of attacks.
Analysts estimate roughly 75 percent of all security attacks are targeted at applications. However, only 10 percent of enterprise security spend is focused on application security. This show the potential attacks to be encountered by the enterprises. So they are starting to focus more on application security that requires customers to invest in extending what they are doing at the network level to the application level. In addition, the need to protect applications and data resources more proactively is also driving the development and application of heuristics. Otherwise, in my opinion if a person does not know how to best configure it, it will make a computer slow and software not working properly.
If a potential threat can be identified early, prevention will be that much easier. That's where the process of designing new heuristics begins. This process benefits our users or consumers. As the primary means of identifying new threats, heuristics have become a core component of today's security systems. The key component in good heuristics design is that which will take into account the existing methods and vectors of infection, of course. And just as importantly, false positives must be kept to an absolute minimum. Heuristics, in contrast, are used to protect against unknown threats. Heuristics analyze the files as they are scanned or accessed, and look at what it appears the file will try to do. If the file is writing to the registry and modifying a system file, it may be a critical security patch.

Whether you decide to add a security component to your web site project initially it is a good idea to think about or have a discussion about web site security when planning the site. You should also review your security systems periodically whether that is changing your password or reviewing and updating your security system.
