All website administrators have experienced the terrifying stories about hacking incidents and malware attacks. Our business faces an ongoing danger which threatens to undermine our operations as well as our reputation and image customers have in us.

Well, Shuva, you're right on the money! Strong passwords, SSL, firewalls, updates – it's a bit of a web-yomama's love list, but it works! The password thing, though, that’s where most people slip.

And let's not forget about those security audits! Regularly checking your site is like taking your grandpa to the doctor – nobody wants to do it, but it'll save you a lot of headaches down the line. And backups? Well, they’re like insurance for your sanity. You never think you need them until, BOOM, you accidentally delete everything while trying to change a color scheme!
