πŸ“ Website security: protection against hackers and recovery from hacking

Why is website security critical? Attacks on websites are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Business web resources are the primary targets of bots, malicious scripts, and hacker attacks. If website protection against hackers is not properly configured, a company risks losing not only data but also its reputation.

What is a website security audit?

A website security audit is a comprehensive check that includes:

  • Identify vulnerabilities in CMS, templates, and plugins
  • Analysis of hosting, accesses, SSL certificates
  • Checking access rights and administrators
  • Assessment of protection against SQL injections and XSS attacks

Basic tools for website protection

    • The most common cause of hacking is outdated plugins
