How Do We Protect Our WordPress / WooCommerce Site From Hackers?

The development of technology and the internet has brought many benefits, but also increased threats. One of the most important issues facing website owners today is hacking. Hacking attacks can cause serious damage to a business:

    • Data deletion
    • Interception of sensitive personal data / customer information
    • Loss of revenue for as long as our page is down
    • Loss of customers due to lack of reliability

However, there are strategies and solutions you can adopt to enhance the security of your WordPress/WooCommerce site.

At JK Software, we attach great importance to website security. We have a specialized team that is ready to deal with and prevent hacking cases, providing appropriate tools to disinfect and protect your website / e-shop.

Here are some important practices you can implement to protect your site:

    1. Update everything: WordPress and the plugins you use should always be up to date. Each update that is released often includes fixes for security holes that hackers can exploit. The longer a site remains unupdated, the easier it is for someone to attack you.
    2. Use strong passwords: Passwords are the first line of defense for your site. Choose strong passwords that combine letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using obvious passwords that are easy to guess.
    3. Limit login attempts: Implementing a limit on failed login attempts can protect your site from brute force attacks, which try to “crack” your passwords through repeated attempts.
    4. Use a firewall: A firewall can prevent many attacks before they reach your website. Whether it’s inbound threats or outbound malicious actions, a firewall is an important security tool.
    5. Backup: In the event that your site is hacked, restoring your files can be extremely time-consuming. It is important to keep backups of your files and database to restore your site to its normal state as quickly as possible, in different locations, to minimize the risk of losing backups.

Remember, prevention is always better than cure. By putting in the effort to secure your website, you can avoid many of the potential threats that could compromise your business.

At JK Software, we are ready to help you implement these security strategies and many more.
