As a business owner, your e-commerce site is your virtual brick-and-mortar store. It’s how you connect with customers, clients, and prospects alike. 

It’s also often the first experience and impression a user has with your business. However, if your website comes under a malware attack, many things could go wrong. A malware attack is one of the most significant threats business owners face on several fronts. In 2020 more than 40% of retailers fell victim to a ransomware attack, one of the most prevalent types of malware attacks present nowadays. 

Any website falling victim to a malware attack can face significant losses. From a loss in Google ranking, losing customer trust and respect, or even having to pay substantial sums of money as ransom. 

Therefore, it is essential to understand and adopt reliable website security practices to avoid a potential IT issue or damage to your company’s reputation.
