Why is website security important to your business?

Your website is your brand, often the first impression of your business for new customers. That’s why you need to protect it from all kinds of digital attacks. If your website is hacked, it could effect your business reputation, infect your website visitors with computer viruses or malware, even get your website blocked in Google listings.

Without effective website security in place, many website owners are already infected with malware and other malicious content without even knowing they’ve been hacked.

• Hackers Target Your Customers With Malware Using Your Website
• Business Reputation Is Tarnished
• Email Gets Blacklisted
• Potential Loss of Revenue
• It’s Expensive to Remove Malware From Your Website
• Google Marks Hacked Websites Unsafe In Their Search Results

Why would someone hack my website? I own a small business.

This is a question we hear often from potential and new web hosting clients. Talking about hackers conjures up images of a computer expert, sitting at a desk targeting large companies, hoping to steal sensitive data. While that type of hacking does exist, the threat to a small business company website is very real.

Everything is automated, targeting thousands of websites randomly. Hackers write programs, known as scripts to scour the Internet looking for vulnerabilities in website programming and website hosting platforms. These vulnerabilities allow hackers to gain access to websites and hosting platforms to send spam, setup phishing pages, infect website visitors, redirect web traffic and steal customer information.

So, why do hackers want to hack your website?

• To Send Spam Using Your Hosting Resources
• Setup Phishing Attacks By Inserting Pages In Your Website You Don’t Know Exist
• Infect Visitors to Your Website With Malware and Viruses
• Redirect Traffic Away From Your Website
• Vandalize Your Website
• Steal Sensitive Information
