Is your website safe?

What can you do?
  • Make sure you always choose a secure password. If you are using SugarCRM - our 'Sugar Secure' plugin will force your users to choose passwords which are highly secure.
  • Always make sure your CMS (Joomla/Drupal etc) or CRM (Sugar, vTiger, CiviCRM) is fully patched and up to date.
  • Make sure your OS (Linux/ Windows Server) is up to date and patched
  • Check/scan/protect against virus's
  • Make sure your files and folders have correct read/write access
  • Adjust your php.ini file to make sure that functions which are not essential but could be vulnerable are turned off
  • Lock down the back end of your website - and restrict access to it
  • Use a GOOD firewall application
  • BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP.......................!!!!!
