Your website is at risk.
I’m not saying this to try and scare you, but that’s the reality of the world we live in. More than 30,000 websites get hacked each day.
You can’t have an “it won’t happen to me” mentality. I encounter businesses all the time who feel this way. They think hackers have bigger fish to fry and don’t have any reason to target their website. That’s simply not the case. In fact, 43% of cyber crimes are against small businesses.
Roughly half of companies worldwide say they have experienced a cyber attack in 2019. Just 40% of businesses say they’re prepared to handle cyber attacks.
I don’t have a magic crystal ball or some way to see into the future, but my gut tells me that cyber criminals aren’t going to just wake up one day and decide to stop hacking websites. Bottom line: Hackers won’t stop trying to gain an edge. That means you need to regularly improve your website security.
That’s what inspired me to write this guide. I’ll show you what needs to be done to secure your website today, in 2020.
