The Consequences of Not Having Web Security

Incorporating a proactive website security solution will improve your site's functionality and assist in positive customer engagement with your brand and business.

Consequences of Ignoring Website Vulnerabilities

Aside from having an effective cyber-security solution, there are ways to be proactive when protecting your website. Here are a few indicators that your site has been infected with malware:

• BLACKLISTING:

  • Google, being one of the world's primary search engines, values their visitors' engagement with their service. It implements an advanced algorithm to detect malware on any website within its search engines so that they can not only notify that site's visitors, but also prevent the spread of malware by blacklisting these sites – preventing end-users from visiting these infected websites.

• SHUTDOWN:

  • If your site has been infected with malware, your hosting provider may think that you've created your website to conduct malicious activity on other websites. So, to keep everyone safe, your hosting provider will shut your website down as an immediate response.

• HACK:

  • When visitors attempt to visit your website, search engines will warn them about your hacked website – likely causing those visitors to take their business elsewhere.

• SLOW DOWN:

  • The effects of malware are numerous; but reduced performance is an inevitable effect of infected websites – which will ultimately result in visitors leaving and avoiding your website in their next browsing visit.

• REDIRECTION:

  • In many cases, instead of being directed to your website, your visitors will be redirected to a different, malicious website. These malicious sites will not only cause discontent, because your site's visitors won't be able to access your business, but can also spread the malware infection to those visitors.

• ATTACK:

  • A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. The attack can deny legitimate visitors access to your website. It's a similar scenario to Google's blacklisting. There are more than 2000 daily DDoS attacks and it accounts for one-third of all downtime. Hackers can purchase a week-long DDoS attack for $150 on the black market.

• MALWARE TRANSER:

  • Hackers can use your websites as gateways and launch-pads for additional attacks. Malware can cause an influx of pop-ups and redirect traffic to other hacked websites with more detrimental effects. You can end up being a victim of malware downloads that spreads onto your devices such as your PC, mobile phone, etc.
