Everyday I hear about another friend of mine whose website has been hacked into. It seems like website hackers are more and more prevalent.  The ironic thing is that, at least looking at percentages, many of us as website owners still aren’t taking the necessary steps to keep our sites secure.

The biggest reason why our websites are getting hacked into is because of what I call “unreasonable indifference.” We know that security scanning, like that offered by Trust Guard, can look for over 30,000 vulnerabilities that hackers can and often do use to compromise our websites.  But few of us do anything about it.

It’s like knowing that if we don’t brush your teeth, they will all rot out, and still not brushing our teeth! We know that vulnerability scanning can find issues and will give PCI Compliant reports for us to repair with our hosting companies, keeping us safe from hackers.  It’s time we grab the toothbrush and start brushing!  In other words, it’s time we contacted Trust Guard and started scanning our sites on a daily basis.

Hackers continue to find ways to compromise our websites’ files and folders. We can keep our sites safe by scanning them for vulnerabilities that hackers use. When hackers see that our sites are scanned on a daily basic by Trust Guard, they are more likely to turn away and try to hack into someone else’s website.

Trust Guard Security Scanned Seals are like having signs on our lawns and front doors stating that we have a 24 hour alarm system. These seals, when displayed at strategic places on our websites will decrease the number of outside attacks.  To me it just makes sense. If we have a website, it needs to be scanned.  And the most inexpensive, most effective, most convenient way to scan our sites for vulnerabilities against hackers is through Trust Guard – The Leader in Website Security and Verification.  Don’t be another of several friends who have told me that their website was hacked into!
