Website Patching

Every business has a website, what people don’t normally understand though is that a website actually runs on a server application such as WordPress. These applications provide frequent updates to not only promote new features, but these updates actually patch known security vulnerabilities as well.

Without frequent updates to this server software, your website becomes a target for malicious actors who may attempt to log in and modify the content.

It’s important that your website software is frequently updated for security and that all Administrator accounts have multi factor authenticaiton enabled to provide an additional layer of defence.

Ensure your IT provider is keeping the server software up to date and that multi factor authentication is enabled for all accounts. Also check that you have a reliable backup method, just in case.
