WordPress security

Handling WordPress security is especially helpful for small and medium-sized businesses. Such companies are at much higher risk for criminals compared with big companies because they often don’t have enough time or knowledge to handle security by themselves. WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world, about 43% of the Internet is working on Wordpress!

Security (digital security) is not only about you or your business - it’s about your clients too. I know a situation when a website was hacked and a malicious redirect was injected into WordPress theme. After someone (except the admin) visited the website, they were taken to an ads page, suggesting them to download and install a “useful” app. Guess what was it? You’re right, a virus. And of course, this affects you and your business too, because you can lose traffic, and money and harm the reputation. And this - malicious ads - is not the worst scenario.

That’s why it is important to maintain the website and to keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated. It’s a complex activity (not in the meaning “hard”, but “involves many aspects”) - it also includes security monitoring, checking public vulnerabilities, configuring the server, etc.
