The Uncomfortable Truth Most Security Companies Won’t Tell You
Let’s be honest: we could write a terrifying article about all the digital threats lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on your unsuspecting website. We could use terms like “zero-day exploits” and “advanced persistent threats” to keep you up at night.
But that would be marketing dishonesty, and we prefer a different approach: the truth.
You’re Probably Not That Interesting (No Offense)
Here’s the reality most security companies don’t want you to know: unless you’re running a major financial institution, government agency, or storing particularly juicy data, hackers probably aren’t specifically targeting you.
Working day of your digital security officer
Most website owners face the digital equivalent of opportunistic pickpockets—automated bots scanning for common vulnerabilities—not Ocean’s Eleven-style master criminals planning elaborate heists against your specific site.
Basic Security is Usually Enough
For most websites, following these simple practices will protect you from 95% of realistic threats:
- Don’t store sensitive data in poorly secured cloud services
- Make regular backups (and occasionally test if they actually work)
- Use complex passwords (yes, capital letters, numbers, and special characters actually help)
- Restrict access to your server data and databases (not everyone needs the admin keys)
- Keep your software updated (those annoying update notifications exist for a reason)
That’s it. No expensive security suite required. No need for a panic room in your office.
If You’re Actually a Major Target…
If your organization is genuinely large enough and your data sensitive enough to fear targeted attacks, you probably already have a professional DevOps team and robust security protocols in place.
In which case… why are you reading a basic security article on our website? Your security experts should be attending specialized conferences and reading threat intelligence reports, not our friendly blog post.
We Still Sell Security (Just Not the Fear)
We do offer security solutions, but they’re focused on a different kind of protection altogether—protecting your business operations and data integrity, not just building higher digital walls.
Remember: The most important security feature isn’t the expensive software or complicated protocol—it’s consistent application of basic security practices that actually fit your risk profile.*
