Having a reliable online presence is more important than ever in 2021. The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation across the majority of industries and as we shift commerce and business processes online, more security threats emerge.
Cybercrime has exponentially increased in the past decade. Statista reports over 1000 reports of data breaches and over 150 million personal records exposed in 2020 alone. We’ve also witnessed numerous blockbuster cyber-attacks, including the SolarWinds supply chain hack and, more recently, the Colonial pipeline hack.
While preventing hackers from attempting to breach your website or CMS is impossible, there are proactive measures that can identify the threats before they are exposed, reduce damage, and prevent attacks.
We understand that reducing security vulnerabilities requires effective website management by professionals like Bastion Cloud that provides security maintenance preventing downtime, lost leads, dropping in search rankings and keeps the customer experience enjoyable.
Partnership with Bastion Cloud enables our clients get access to proactive web maintenance and support services to secure their websites and business.
Why you need a real service provider like Bastion Cloud
Running an online business or simple company website is more accessible today than ever before. Platforms like WordPress and Craft CMS offer easy-to-use web builders and automated tools to keep business owners from hiring a full-time web developer.
Entrusting security solely to a CMS or 3rd party plugin can leave business owners at risk because hackers constantly target these platforms and they are too big to handle security for every client.
Keeping your business and customer data secure requires a real website security service provider, like Bastion Cloud, dedicated to your specific needs.
