The most common ways to get into a website are through the most unlikely of areas. This is where our team of professionals spend their time. Breaches can occur from a variety of different areas, from plugins, updates, password cracking, and those are just a few. By using our Monthly Website Security Check Service, you are taking precaution against threats. Threats like:
Entry access through the standard WordPress admin login page. This is a common target, intruders know to access the admin section of a WordPress website is through the /wp-admin extension.
Generic password cracking. Today, passwords need to be unique and complicated. Attackers use the most common type of password formats to gain access to a website. Using the same password across many accounts is a bad idea. With a unique password for your website and a two-step authorization, you can make it harder for intruders to get their foot in the door.
Unverified Plugins. You don’t know what security measures the plugin has in place. If unprotected, access to your website is free and clear. Make sure you know the company you are working with and their plugins are secure.
Old WordPress and Theme versions. You may scratch your head and wonder, but how can updating WordPress or my Theme protect me? Intruders search for vulnerabilities. By continually updating WordPress or your Theme, you are putting the latest patches, fixes and security measures in place. Using old versions leave you exposed, let’s resolve that.
Information leakage. Information about your website is shared with browsers. This information could contain sensitive information, which could be used by attackers to gain access to your systems. A review of the shared files, ensuring no information is a threat to security, will provide protection from intruders.
Link farming. There’s a right way, and a wrong way. Non-business related soliciting through the comments box of a post or review, is not the way to do it. We will put a stop it by removing the URL field from the comment box, preventing spammers from back linking to their website.
By having the proper security measures in place, you are setting the stage for success. It’s important for visitors to know the data collected by your website stays protected. It’s a priority for them and who they do business with.
Protecting your visitors and their sensitive information plays a major role within the User Experience (UX). If a guest knows they are safe when doing business with you, the trust factor will rise and they will share the experience with others, becoming a testimony to the services of your website, strengthening your brand image. These same advocates will also be open to knowing more about your company and growing a stronger partnership by utilizing other services your company offers.
