Cybercriminals continue to target businesses by exploiting security weaknesses in commonly used software. Small businesses are especially vulnerable when computers, servers, and websites aren’t regularly updated.
On November 3, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a new warning about an actively exploited security vulnerability affecting WordPress, a popular website platform.
This is another reminder that even trusted software can become a security risk when vulnerabilities go unaddressed.
5 Ways to Help Protect Your Business
- Keep software updated. Install security patches for Windows, applications, servers, and websites.
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). Add another layer of protection to business accounts.
- Maintain reliable backups. Make sure critical business data is backed up and recovery procedures are tested.
- Use managed endpoint protection. Modern security software can help detect and stop suspicious activity.
- Monitor your systems. Proactive monitoring helps identify potential problems before they turn into major disruptions.
