Description

Dear Business Owners,

A recent study by Sucuri revealed that around 90% of all hacked content management systems they investigated in 2018 were WordPress sites.

If your business relies on its website for marketing, operations, or any critical activity, protecting that asset is non-negotiable. The reality is, just like physical businesses can face break-ins, online businesses are also vulnerable to intrusions — except in many cases, you won’t even know your site has been compromised until months or even years later.

This is why proactive security is essential.

It’s important to note that WordPress sites typically don’t get hacked because of the original WordPress core code. The problem usually comes from vulnerabilities in third-party plugins or themes — often called “backdoors.”

So, what exactly are backdoors, and how can you protect your website if you’re not tech-savvy? The good news is that there are quick, effective, and beginner-friendly ways to secure your WordPress site.
