Keeping our website up to date is crucial to avoid suffering a cyberattack, which ultimately translates to reduced risks for businesses. This topic has been brought to the forefront by the company cdmon.
In the current geopolitical and international context, according to cdmon’s Digital Director, David Blanch, “many small online businesses think they are not at risk of being attacked due to their professional activity. However, all websites are exposed, and the best way to prevent attacks is as simple as keeping software updates current, which often are meant to close various security vulnerabilities.”
In this vein, Blanch explained that “a gesture as simple as updating a website or its plugin can prevent the ruin of a small or medium-sized enterprise, as with many types of cyberattacks, information becomes compromised and complete control of the business is lost.”
“It’s increasingly important to keep everything updated”
Blanch also emphasized the importance of “keeping everything updated on the internet, no matter how much we think the updates we receive won’t provide a differential value to our online business.”
Not only due to the current political and international situation, but also because of the rise of artificial intelligence, being aware of web security is fundamental. In this regard, the founder of cdmon, Jaume R. Palau, explained, “while there are many positive uses of intelligence that will help us, we also need to be prepared for AI designed to attack in increasingly sophisticated ways.”
