Provide all administrators with a secure username and password.

Make sure passwords are difficult to guess by requiring that they are at least eight characters long and include letters, numbers, and special characters.

Use an SEF component that is friendly to search engines without creating Joomla security vulnerabilities.

A good SEF component will mask certain information about the components on each page and make it harder for hackers to locate a way in.

Use a secure host and server configuration, and make sure safe mode is off.

PHP5 is a more secure option than PHP4.

Don’t leave leftover files floating around.

Extraneous files could compromise your Joomla website security, so remove them if they are no longer needed.
