Here\u2019s how to protect your business without spending a ton of time and money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There as no two ways about it: getting hacked sucks. If your website is hacked, you\u2019re likely to have a bunch of different problems \u2014 some of which can last for months. These issues include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Website getting defaced with spam, popups, malware<\/li><li>Losing Google SEO rankings<\/li><li>Having your Google Ads and other advertising campaigns disabled<\/li><li>Having your outbound emails blocked by spam filters<\/li><li>Receiving communications and reviews from angry customers and partners<\/li><li>Getting slapped with possible legal actions or bank fines<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re like most website owners, you\u2019d like to avoid the stress, expense, and damage that come with a hacked website. But what are the most effective ways to secure your website? If you had just a few dollars and limited time, what could you do that would effectively keep your website safe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article on website security issues and solutions, we\u2019ll walk you through <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/how-to-secure-a-website-in-6-easy-steps\/\">how to secure your website<\/a> by first exploring the eight most common types of website security threats and what you can do to protect your site against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Website Security Issues and Solutions Should Focus on Real-World Risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Protecting your website is a lot like protecting your home \u2014 to stay safe, you need to protect against the most common and likely threats and not the outliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s possible that a foreign government spy could break into your house and plant an ultra-high listening device to monitor your phone calls to your Uncle Joe (who turns out to secretly be a CIA agent). But unless your name is Bond, James Bond\u2026 the chance of that happening is slim to none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/website-security-issues-and-solutions-highly-unlikely-meme.jpg\" alt=\"A Star Trek-based meme of Spock saying &quot;That is highly unlikely&quot; to add humor to the topic of website security issues and solutions\" class=\"wp-image-2648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/website-security-issues-and-solutions-highly-unlikely-meme.jpg 798w, https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/website-security-issues-and-solutions-highly-unlikely-meme-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/website-security-issues-and-solutions-highly-unlikely-meme-560x408.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect your home and family effectively, <strong><em>you need to defend against the most likely scenarios <\/em><\/strong>\u2014 for example, someone breaking in to steal your TV\u2026or bad wiring starting a fire. Those common threats are what you need to protect your family against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar thing is true when it comes to website security. You\u2019re not likely to be targeted by government cybersecurity operatives\u2026 but you <em>will<\/em> be targeted by opportunistic cybercriminals looking for easy targets. To keep your business running smoothly, you need to defend against the most likely threats that could damage your website. This leads to the two-part, million-dollar question: What are the most common cyber threats to my website, and how do I protect against them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Overwhelming Majority (e.g., 99%) of Website Hacks Are Caused By 8 Security Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackers are constantly inventing new attack methods, but the overwhelming majority of successful website attacks are the \u201csame old thing\u201d that worked last week. We analyzed data from various sources, including vulnerability databases, OWASP\u2019s top 10 list, SiteLock data, and our own studies \u2014 to identify the eight most common security threats in 2021. We\u2019ve also taken the initiative to list the top ways to prevent each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s explore the most common security threats that every small business needs to protect their website from. (Note: These website security issues and solutions aren\u2019t organized in any specific order. We just added the numbers to make the content easier to follow.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Website Security Threat(s)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Threat Description(s)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>How to Secure Your Website<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Not Fixing Known Vulnerabilities<\/strong><\/td><td>This is a large attack surface for many organizations.

With a few well-chosen precautions, you can greatly reduce the chances that you\u2019ll fall victim to one of the eight threats mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;Put a Web Application Firewall to Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a web application firewall, or WAF on your web server or CDN to inspect all application layer website traffic requests. This way, the WAF can block a request if it\u2019s malicious, thereby thwarting human and machine attackers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Not all web application firewalls are the same. To implement a WAF to your greatest advantage, choose a fully managed web app firewall. With this solution, the rules are updated regularly, which helps to protect you against the latest threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;Restrict Access to Only Those Who Need It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This should go without saying: not everyone who wants access to everything actually needs it. Following the principle of least privilege is a great idea because it helps you to ensure that you\u2019re only allowing users who need access to sensitive systems and data to have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Setting up access controls within your organization is kind of like raising kids: you sometimes have to tell them no (even though they won\u2019t like it) because it\u2019s the best way to keep them safe and secure. Likewise, you have to deny users\u2019 unnecessary access requests to protect your organization and keep its data safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Carry Out Daily Vulnerability Testing on Your Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implement daily vulnerability scans to detect threats and security flaws on your website. This is among the best ways to protect your website and data against hackers. By identifying these weaknesses quickly, you can address vulnerabilities before a hacker uses them against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Rather than just choosing a random solution, do your homework and choose one that supports your website\u2019s specific platform. For example, if you use Magento, ensure your vulnerability scanner supports it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;Double-Check Your Website Configurations and Follow Industry Best Practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how great or user-friendly your website is, it won\u2019t matter if you don\u2019t keep customers\u2019 information secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation: <\/strong>Take the time to ensure you\u2019ve got proper configurations in place and that you\u2019ve crossed your T\u2019s and dotted your I\u2019s. Follow secure coding best practices and implement these <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/how-to-secure-a-website-website-security-tips-for-businesses\/\">website security tips<\/a> from other industry experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;Provide Mandatory Security Awareness Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cyber awareness of your employees can be the difference between your site staying secure versus it being hacked. All it takes is one employee clicking on a malicious link to trigger a world of trouble, so be sure your staff is trained to recognize social engineering tactics and common phishing scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> You can find plenty of free <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/what-is-security-awareness-training\/\">security awareness training<\/a> resources online. A couple of quick examples include the <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/blog\/dod-cyber-awareness-challenge-2020-your-ultimate-guide\/\">DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/itl\/applied-cybersecurity\/nice\/resources\/online-learning-content\">NIST\u2019s online resources directory<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;Encourage Users to Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-factor authentication (MFA) helps to protect your website\u2019s accounts against many types of login attacks. Even if a hacker somehow discovers your account password, they can\u2019t put it to use without having the required secondary identification factor (such as a fingerprint or a physical security token).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> While traditional MFA methods improve your security, a more secure method is using certificate-based authentication instead. This is a form of passwordless authentication because it uses a digital certificate to identify you (rather than you having to manually type in clunky passwords). But if you\u2019d prefer a more traditional MFA method, you can enable it through any of the following methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Using custom code,<\/li><li>Installing a plugin, or<\/li><li>Enabling MFA via your WAF.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;Enable HTTPS on All Pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to force HTTPS on every page of your website to ensure that your visitors are protected against insecure cookie attacks, password theft, and other risks. You can do this by installing a website security certificate (i.e., an SSL\/TLS certificate) on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Be sure you\u2019re also securing all of your subdomains. A <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/ssl-types\/wildcard-ssl-certificates\">wildcard SSL certificate<\/a> can help you do it quickly and cost effectively by using a single certificate to secure an unlimited number of subdomains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.&nbsp;Automate Website Backups So You Don\u2019t Miss Anything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When things go wrong with your website, you don\u2019t have time to sit back and relax. You need to have a solution in place that can help you get things back up and running right away. Regardless of the cause, having a recent website backup makes your life much easier and saves you a lot of time and money in terms of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> It\u2019s always a good idea to create physical backups of your website. However, this shouldn\u2019t be your only approach. You can set up automatic cloud backups with <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/sitelock.aspx\">SiteLock<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/sectigostore.com\/codeguard\/backup\">CodeGuard<\/a>, too, so you have a second type of backup ready to go when (not if) things go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.&nbsp;Scan Your Site For Malware Every Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking your website every day for malware is your last line of defense \u2014 if something malicious slipped through, you want to find and remove it ASAP. Don\u2019t give hackers access to your site and data even a moment longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Some tools check only your source code or your public website. If the solution you use doesn\u2019t cover both, it\u2019s likely going to miss malware that can cause serious harm and cost you loads of money. This is why it\u2019s best to use a malware scanner that checks both avenues of approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Website Security Issues and Solutions Final Takeaway: Protect Your Site With SiteLock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of cobbling together seven different solutions to protect your website, you can get all of the key pieces you need in one convenient dashboard with SiteLock:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Daily malware scanning &amp; cleaning<\/li><li>Daily vulnerability testing<\/li><li>Web application firewall capabilities<\/li><li>Automatic vulnerability patching<\/li><li>Automatic website backups<\/li><li>Daily blacklist monitoring<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, SiteLock is affordable both with regard to your time and money. It costs just $15 per month and can be set up within minutes. This is a win-win scenario for you and your customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SiteLock data shows that websites endure an average of one attack every 15 minutes (approximately 94 attacks per day).
