Why Web CMS Security should be Your Priority Now?

The media has been abuzz with coverage related to
cybersecurity for past couple of months and
though its scary, you need to face the reality
proactively. In Jan 2017, you might have seen
media coverage regarding former New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani. The man whom Trump appointed as
his cybersecurity advisor had security issues
with his own website, based on four-year old
version of Joomla.

• Tech experts claimed, The website of Donald
  Trump's new cyber-guru Rudy Giuliani has a low
  security rating and is extremely vulnerable to
  hackers.
• Such incidents are commonplace in the internet
  due to several reasons and one of them is that
  security is still not a priority for many website
  owners. When you begin your vendor selection,
  security must be the primary factor to consider
  while you choose an outsourcing web development
  agency.

How to enhance your security footprint?
There is no single answer to this question
however, we have to collectively work to
reprogram the way we consider security. Here are
some steps that we need to follow, the sooner the
better

Firstly, you need to secure what you already have
and you must do it NOW. Let your current website
go under variety of security scanners preferably
with the help of a web development expert.

Secondly, assess your future needs as the CMS
landscape is evolving constantly. Depending on
your needs, you can consider a shift to headless
or decoupled CMS wherein the content and the
presentation are decoupled. You just keep control
of your code and the vendor, for instance, Amazon
S3 would take care of everything related to
content management and delivery. Thus, your
website can be served in a secure and scalable
manner.

Finally, you can also get into the bandwagon of
enterprises choosing custom CMS solutions which
can be much secured. If your business conducts
complicated transactions or if you have content
management workflows that are highly proprietary
then a custom CMS solution is the best option for
you. It can not only be your long-term business
asset but also act as radar to detect security
threats.

Conclusion
With incidents of cyber exploits and hacking on
the rise, it is high time for you to secure your
CMS. If your website is hacked then your
competitors can use it against you as a lethal
weapon. Besides it would also damage your brand
reputation and make you lose your customers. How
would you like to make your CMS secure? Please
