Chances are, you’ve heard about the dangers of an insecure website. You could also be asking yourself, “Why does my website say not secure?” or wondering what it means when a website is not secure. Discover what cybersecurity experts really mean when they say a site is “not secure” and how to improve your site’s overall security.
Keeping a website up and running may seem like a simple task, but the truth is that there are a number of issues that can impact website and application performance and potentially lead to downtime.

We have all seen it in the news lately: Critical infrastructure and organizations being hit with ransomware attacks; bringing operations to a screeching halt. In many cases these ransoms are paid which further incentivize more bad actors such as REvil, EvilCorp and DarkSide to continue their malicious attacks. As of May 2021, ransomware attacks have almost doubled, with 43% of all ransomware attacks affecting SMB’s. Additionally, the ransom amounts associated with these attacks have been exponentially increasing with the average ransom costing small to medium sized businesses (SMB’s) $380,000 on average. It is largely speculated that most of these cyber criminals have international ties back to Russia where little investigation and prosecution is taken on them.
We are pleased to announce that SiteLock is joining forces with Sectigo, a leading provider of digital certificates and automated certificate management. This merger is the start of an exciting new chapter for SiteLock solutions, customers, and partners.

Even a company with the most sophisticated cybersecurity tools and expert security teams can fall prey to cybercriminals if they overlook one area of vulnerability: their people. Humans can be distracted, intimidated and especially – misled. In fact, 97% of us can’t tell a phishing email from a legitimate one. Cybercriminals know this, which is why phishing attacks account for more than 80% of reported security incidents and why 54% of companies say their data breaches were caused by “negligent employees.”
