Your website is one of your organisation’s most valuable assets so it’s vitally important that you make sure it’s secure. The consequences of a site breach can be extremely serious in terms of damage to your reputation, potential loss of your customers’ data and loss of access to your most valuable marketing tool.

Many business owners wrongly think that site security isn’t something they need to worry too much about because their sites are small. This is a big mistake. A small website is just as likely to fall victim to a security breach as a larger site, often more so. We regularly help clients whose small sites have been hacked. Putting a hack right after the event is much, much more work than ensuring that the site is secure in the first place.

WordPress sites can be particularly vulnerable because WordPress is so widely used, so hackers put a great deal of effort into uncovering methods of breaking into them. With that in mind we’ve put together this webinar specifically focusing on how owners of WordPress sites can improve the security of their sites.

  • WordPress malware
• The most common causes of site breaches
  • Internal threats from within your organisation
  • External threats from outside your organisation
• Simple ways you can improve your site’s security
  • Knowing who has access and limiting login
  • Two factor authentication
  • The importance of backups
  • Running the latest versions of your theme, plugins and WordPress
  • Overview of auto-update features in WordPress 5.5
  • Web application firewalls
  • Changing the WordPress database prefix
  • Plugins that can help
• What to do if you’ve been hacked
• Questions
