How to Keep your Website Secure from Hackers – Can’t Speak Geek

Websites tend to be “If you build it, they will come”, but this also means hackers will want to come to check out your site as well. Is there anyway stop them from coming? There are simple steps in WordPress security and the first step is one of the most important actions to take. That is making the step to a proactive approach (instead of a reactive process) and to do it TODAY. Any website, even the simplest of test sites, and the site that does not get any traffic can be infected if not maintained properly. The bulk of WordPress websites that are infected is typically due to out-of-date core, theme, or plugin files, use of insecure logins, or a brute force attack. Mostly though it is due to not being updated regularly or logins. I have watched first hand a brute force attack on a test site that was not indexed by Google and had no visitors. However, while nothing is ever completely and utterly full proof, there are simple steps to take to avoid the bad things that could happen. Let me share some simple steps anyone can take to keep their online presence safe and secure that require a little bit of time and no coding on your part.
