Web security is important to keeping hackers and cyber-thieves from accessing sensitive information. By some estimates, about 30,000 to 50,000 websites get hacked every day. Actually, the numbers are growing every day and the importance of website security is increasing rapidly.
Without a proactive security strategy, businesses risk the spread and escalation of malware, attacks on other websites, networks, and other IT infrastructures. If a hacker is successful, attacks can spread from computer to computer, making it difficult to find the origin.
Being secure in the online world becomes more and more important every day and it is vital to protect your website and the data it holds now.
If your site is not protected, hackers can use your site to infect your site visitors with malware and steal the data your site holds. The reality is that, because of a hacked website, a customer loses trust and therefore it will lead to company reputation loss, which for e-commerce can often mean an end of the business.
