Cyber threats are increasing every day, and your website is often the first entry point for attackers.
Here are 6 essential rules every organization should follow to secure its website:
1- Keep Everything Updated
An outdated system is a vulnerable system.
Always update:
- Your CMS (WordPress, etc.)
- Themes and plugins
- Backend libraries and frameworks
Most attacks exploit known vulnerabilities that were never patched.
2- Secure All Access Points
Weak credentials are still the #1 cause of breaches.
- Use strong and unique passwords
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Limit administrator accounts
- Remove unused or former user accounts
3- Backup Regularly and Test Restorations
A backup that has never been tested is not a real backup.
- Perform automatic daily backups
- Store backups off-site
- Test restoration procedures periodically
4- Monitor and Detect Abnormal Behavior
You can’t protect what you don’t see.
- Monitor login attempts
- Track file changes
- Detect unusual traffic or behavior
- Review logs regularly
5- Encrypt Data and Protect Communications
Security is also about confidentiality.
- Use HTTPS everywhere
- Protect against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
6- Train and Educate Employees
Your people are your first line of defense — or your biggest risk.
- Train staff on phishing, social engineering, and safe practices
- Run awareness sessions regularly
- Make cybersecurity part of company culture
Key takeaway:
Cybersecurity is not a product — it’s a continuous process combining technology, people, and governance.
