Being virus infected or hacked can have serious consequences:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Virus diffusion to your customers
\n– Misuse of social accounts (ex: LinkedIn)<\/span><\/span>
\n– Misuse of your content and links for promoting 3P products – Pills, Pocker, Porn (ex: political science<\/a><\/span>)<\/span>
\n– Blacklisting by Google<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to always make updates to your CMS, to have daily backup of your servers, here are some ways to improve the security for your CMS :<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Changing URL to access log \/ pass of the back office.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Allowing access to the backoffice only from your computers\u2019 <\/span> IP \u00a0(via .htaccess).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Complying with your log \/ passwords\u00a0politics and governance guidelines \u00a0(of course you have one!).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Removing the footprint that allows to know the version of CMS and therefore \u00a0its weaknesses ( same thing in case of update).<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Set the \u00a0back office in \u00a0HTTPS.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, all these points must be checked annually, documented and shared for a good #governance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
