The Rising Threat of Cybersecurity Risks
As websites become more complex, the attack surface grows. CMS platforms like WordPress, Wix, and Joomla are frequent targets for cyberattacks, primarily due to their reliance on third-party plugins and external code. These vulnerabilities are often exploited by malicious actors, leaving your website exposed.Many of the most popular CMS platforms today suffer from serious security flaws:
- WordPress: Plugin dependencies create frequent security vulnerabilities. Over 55% of WordPress sites are hacked due to outdated plugins and themes.
- Joomla: While flexible, its extensive reliance on third-party extensions can introduce security risks if not regularly maintained.
- Wix and Squarespace: Although closed systems are less prone to external attacks, they still face risks from insider threats and limited customization options for security enhancements.
