Businesses are relying even more on their websites right now. It’s your main method of communicating with customers, and you don’t want to lose it for any period of time. Here are a few things that are easy to do:

Use a strong password that’s unique. Whether you’re using Wordpress, Websites + Marketing or something else to create or host your website, having a strong password is priority number one. The last thing you need right now is for your accounts to become compromised. 

Use SSL encryption If your customers are buying products directly from you, you need to make sure your checkout process is encrypted with SSL. SSL encryption gives your eCommerce website “HTTPS” status instead of “HTTP,” and displays a lock icon in your customers’ web browser URL field.

Use a malware scanner regularly (and get automatic alerts). Most instances of malware are designed to be sneaky. They infiltrate your site, completely unnoticed, and start controlling user behavior or collecting user data for future use.

Proactively monitor your website activity. There are a variety of apps and online tools you can use to monitor how users are accessing your site, including Google Analytics, which offers real-time user activity visualization. Above and beyond analytics tools, look for a security monitoring tool that will scan your website at least once daily for suspicious activity.

There’s no such thing as a foolproof website security strategy. Every site can be hacked. However, most cybercriminals are pure opportunists, going after the low-hanging fruit. If you’re aware of the tactics the average cybercriminal uses and you follow these important website security tips, you’ll prevent the vast majority of hacking and infection attempts against your website.
