Security alerts, updates and solutions to keep you content management system safe from attacks.

CMS (Content Management Systems) systems are created to allow users to easily create and edit content on web sites from the public interface. Unfortunately, making the interface public attracts hackers  looking for new ways to access and exploit web sites. Most attacks are spam related. I.e. the hack alters the web site allowing spam to be sent to the database of users, or the site content is altered showing links or information that the hacker wants to market or show.

It's our opinion that the "pro", of having easy content management and cost savings of being able to have internal personnel do simple updates to your web site instead of paying programmers outweighs the "con". The trick to safely maintaining a CMS system is to keep up with the updates. So if you choose a content management system, just know you also must keep it updated. It's pretty simple really!
