7.1 Security System
Love Shack Cabins needs to take good precautions when working their business because there are 5 threats that we need to make sure we are good on, viruses, outside intruders, employees,firewall, and natural disasters. One of the big things that we need to make sure we don't get is a virus. A virus will destroy any data that we have stored in our computer system and then we will loose everyone information and all of our information about our cabins. Any outside intruders, meaning someone that is "snooping" around in our store trying to look for any information, maybe to steal an identity or also just someone hacking into the system to get any of our customers information or our information even Someone that might would hack into our computers would be someone else with a cabin business trying to steal our customers or doing anything to keep us from getting business. When we say employees, we are not trying to disrespect our employees, we are just simply saying that with all of our other Love Shack Cabin workers we need to make sure that they are who they say that are instead of someone else and by this we would authenticate our employees by giving them a code, card to swipe, or possibly a voice password. Firewalls allow us to also authenticate our users and anyone who signs in to once again make sure we are who we say we are maybe using a password to access our website. Any company does not want to have any type of a natural disaster, a natural disaster would be something like a power outage. If the power went out then Love Shack Cabins would not be able to access anyone information or anything dealing with our computers because the systems would be shut down and if we did not save any knew information then it would be lost. At Love Shack Cabins we have some ways that we make sure that we are safe. When our employees get to work, they have to authenticate their selves at the back door by a biometrics system where they swipe their finger to make sure they are who they really say they are. Another way that we watch carefully about our information is we have physical access restrictions in our system that tries to prevent any hackers before they try and break in. To prevent any intruders that are trying hack our system with a computer or maybe even a robot, in order to sign up for our website before completion we have an encryption code that only we can see. The user that is signing up would have to put in the code to authenticate that they are a real person trying to sign up for our website and not a robot or computer.

6.1 Pillars of the Web
One of the pillars of the web is utilizing the web as a platform. Utilizing the web as a platform is leveling the playing field, allowing others to access the web through browser and Internet connection. With Love Shack Cabins, we utilize the web by being able to access our other business to business's websites such as Haynes furniture, to make a transaction and order the things that we need from them. The next pillar is harnessing collective intelligence. This means that it allows users to give feedback and let you know what you might need to improve on. Love Shack Cabins allows our visitors to give us feed back on how they liked their stay in our cabins and what things need to be better or if there was anything that might need to be improved. Another pillar is the leveraging data. Leveraging data utilizes powerful databases to make decisions. We have made it accessible to our customers to be able to contact us at anytime, or email us if there are any questions. If they feel the need to contact us, with getting their information stored into our databases, we can look their information up and see what things might interest them and see what things are available to them. Because of the type of company that we are, the only way for this to be possible is for them to contact us via email or by simply making a phone call. The last pillar is the implementing innovative web capabilities, this is the actual capabilities that allow users to see the different things. Something that Love Shack Cabins allows viewers to see, is a widget on our page that allows you to see the weather where ever the cabin that they are interested would be. It will let them know within the next week what the temperatures will be during those days and if it might rain or such. This helps the visitors make plans for their stay, if they want to be outside or inside.
