4 Tips for Keeping Your Business’s Website Secure

If you think your website isn’t something that is worth getting hacked into, then think again. Unfortunately, hackers will target all types of websites no matter if it’s a business or not. Victims of cyber security attacks can range from major corporations all the way to the little guy who trying to start up their business.  Most business owners will try to build their website as quickly as possible but this ends up having some major security gaps that make their website completely vulnerable.

4 Tips for Keeping Your Business’s Website SecureUse strong and unique passwordsLook into hiring cyber security specialistsEnable the two-factor authenticationInstall SSL on your website

 In the end, this causes them to damage their reputation, and they end up being a victim of a cyber security attack.  When it comes to website security, that’s entirely on the owner, and they need to handle it. Fortunately, there are some tips to help businesses keep their website completely safe and secure.  

Use strong and unique passwords

This is the most basic tip, and you may be surprised to know how often this tip isn’t followed. Even some of the biggest companies in the world have fallen victim to cyber-attacks because they didn’t follow this rule. Never reuse the same password for anything at all. No matter what it is, or what account it is, just never reuse the same password. It’s also important to not have passwords out on a sticky note for people to see either. It also helps if secured emails weren’t obvious because business owners could run the risk of hackers using social engineering to get their information. Something such as a password generator could help you out.

Look into hiring cyber security specialists

There is always going to be the chance of overlooking something, it’s completely natural. There are some holes that only a specialist can find, and they will be the ones to patch it up. It’s very helpful to look into cyber security consulting services, as this could be a complete game-changer for you.

Enable the two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is one of the most vital and important security tips. This may not seem like a lot, but there is no doubt about it that this can go a long way. It’s essential when signing into your online accounts that you not only use your login credentials but also have a sign-in process with an additional layer. This could be something such as sending a code to an email or text message. A lot of businesses are doing this now, and this truly does make a difference.

Install SSL on your website

Is your eCommerce growth attracting fraud? A lot of fraudsters and hackers will try to find ways to add malware to websites.  SSL certificate may not seem like a big deal compared to other tips in this post, but it can make a difference, especially if customers plan to make a purchase on your website. SSL will encrypt all of your communication and sensitive information such as data. It will convert them into a meaningless format so the hacker will not be able to decipher it. This may be small, but it’s only a couple of extra pounds to get your website secured with an SSL certificate.
