Website Security FAQs
Why is website security important?
Skimping on website security can leave you vulnerable to the ever-evolving cyber threats that businesses experience on a daily basis. The goal for most hackers is to access personal data and exploit it. If you’re not doing your part to keep your customers’ information safe, then you’re sure to lose credibility and trust. Unless you are planning to leave your practice to become a full-time cybercrime fighter, it’s near impossible to keep your site protected without some help from the professionals.
What does ‘hacking’ even mean?
Hacking is when someone or something has gained unauthorized access to files on your website or computer. Hackers aim to steal personal information, and exploit your content by adding popups, links to their own site and malware that attacks your visitors’ computers.
I'm a small business, is my website at risk of hacking?
Yes. Every website is at risk of being hacked. Hackers are equal opportunists which means that no site is too big or too small for them to target — they’re ethical that way. If there is information of value on your website, you can be sure that they’ll exploit it. Today’s hackers develop and use automated systems or bots that scan the internet looking for site vulnerabilities. So, whether you are a big enterprise or a small shop, if your site has a weak infrastructure, a bot can find it.
What do hackers look for?
While the list of tricks that hackers use to gain access your site is longer than your great uncle’s ear hair, here are some common website vulnerabilities that hackers target:
- Weak passwords
- Outdated plugins, software or website themes
- Holes in code
- Lack of security measures
The good news is that most of these can be avoided when you have the right security protocols in place.
What can happen if my website is hacked?
If your website is successfully hacked, there are some not-so-fun repercussions that can happen beyond just having a screwy site. If your customer’s data is stolen, you may have to deal with lawsuits and steep fines. This breach in personal information could cause your clients to lose trust in your practice and your brand’s reputation could suffer.
Search engines could blacklist your website if it being used to spread malware, making you persona non grata to your potential clients until you can prove that your site is squeaky clean. Getting back in the good graces of the almighty search engines can be a process. You’ll have to invest quite a bit of time and money getting your website restored. The more time you spend off the web, the more you’ll lose ranking and the more leads you will lose to your competitors.
What can I do to protect my website from cyber threats?
Here are a few top tips you can implement right now to improve your website security:
- Ensure your password is strong and secure.
- Activate your automatic backup system.
- Make sure your website is up to date. This includes your plugins, platform and software.
- Make the switch to HTTPS if you haven’t done so already.
- Invest in website security and monitoring that offers first-class security without compromising usability. Our people at Sector45 know a thing or two about it.
