Nowadays, websites are necessary for most of the businesses and especially in e-commerce. Every attacker knows that your site holds customers data. You’ve worked hard on your site (and your brand) – so take some time to secure it.
You should do the following steps to ensure your website is safe:
– The most important thing is to backup always and keep a recent backup copy off-site.
– keep your Content Managment System (CMS), scripts and plugins up-to-date.
– If it’s possible, install security plugins such as Wordfence plugin for WordPress.
– Download plugins, themes and scripts from trusted sources.
– Make sure that the website code is secure (all the inputs has been well filtered) to prevent web application attacks like SQL injection, XSS, etc.
– Make your site more secure and trustworthy by using HTTPS (SSL certificate). You can use Let’s Encrypt service for this, it is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the non-profit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).
