Often small businesses do not pay enough attention to website security issues. Some feel they don't have particularly sensitive information on their website. Others ask whether their website will be targeted at all.
The answer to the second question is yes. Being a small player is no protection. A wolf doesn't go after the biggest meal; it goes after the easiest one. Hackers are no different. They scan the herd for the weakest member.
How do they do this? They use automated methods to attack large numbers of computers until they find an obvious weakness. For example, a brute force attack may use a large number of username and password pairs until it finds one that works.
We are pleased to announce the conclusion of our Joomla and Drupal comparative survey and would like to thank everybody that participated for your help on this important issue. We were able to collect over 190 surveys and believe that with this help we will be able to provide an updated view on the benefits and tradeoffs with each CMS.
Short Run Cost Cutting Features
Provides 80% of what you need out of the box
Most good websites have many features in common. Important features include: a system for managing user logins and permissions: an attractive design and layout, a simple method for adding, modifying and removing content, a system for categorizing and organizing content; an archival system; a way to manage multimedia files; and integration with an web analytics program.
The genius of content management systems is that they take all the most valuable features and package them in one system. This gives you a running start in developing a great website.
