SiteLock has always been about keeping websites safe from hackers and other cybercriminals. The company has always believed that strong website security keeps each and every visitor of said website safe, which in turn, is good the business behind the site. As such, SiteLock never tires of sharing valuable information and helpful tips for both businesses and individuals that run sites.

On that note, here are more important reminders on how to improve a company website’s security.

Access settings

Some companies have entire departments dedicated to running the main website. SiteLock believes that the more people who have access to the settings of the website, the bigger the chances of it being compromised. As such, companies are recommended to restrict access to certain files within websites to key people. The rest of the employees can be delegated to do other tasks such as website maintenance.

Device usage

Employees that run websites can access the site from just about any device if they have the proper credentials. Because of this, company-issued devices should be checked at all times and usage should be restricted to either key employees or extreme situations such as online emergencies.

Employee monitoring

Companies should give extra notice to everyone who has access to the website’s settings. There should be a record of people via access notifications. This may require a company to create a separate department for security, but SiteLock states it’s worth the safety and peace of mind.

Train your staff to spot cyber threats and attacks.

By properly educating your employees to distinguish cyberattacks, you will be one step ahead into protecting your data and overall security. Provide regular training sessions and update policy documents that encourage staff to place all guidelines into practice.
