Why is security a huge problem? Here are just a few reasons:
Hacking: Hackers seem to be everywhere and almost weekly, you can read in the news about some company or other being hacked or someone’s identity being stolen. Don’t assume you are immune to such an attack.
Loss of Revenue: Some hackers are just looking to disrupt and shut down a business. This can cost you a lot of potential revenue. Just think if your site went down and there was no way for customers to make an order.
Search Engine Ranking: Your site will experience less traffic if it keeps going down because of the negative effect that has on your ranking.
Malware Attacks: Such an attack could destroy all of your website’s data! Without a responsible host doing backups of your site regularly, your data, time, and money could all be lost!
