Need greater web security? Consider our Awesome cloud platform

Cyber-criminals are always on the lookout for new ways to gain access to your data and exploit your software and hardware to their advantage.

Business websites are one key point of vulnerability that cyber-criminals will try to attack. These days, many businesses have a website, using it as yet another opportunity to promote their brand and attract customers. Regardless of the size of your business, cyber-criminals will be sniffing around hoping that they can gain access to your web server or take control of your site and its data.

The Drupal attack

A recent major security breach that made the news involved Drupal, a software used to make websites. Hackers found a major security flaw they could exploit, allowing them to take over various websites, including those belonging to businesses.

Drupal made an announcement about a security patch that could make people’s sites more secure; however, people only had seven hours from the time of the announcement to implement the update, otherwise they would have to assume their site was hacked into. Cleaning up a website that’s been hacked into takes a lot more work than simply updating the software. And now, many businesses don’t know if hackers were able to use their site to distribute malware and obtain access to sensitive data.
