Key Takeaways
- • 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses
- • 60% of hacked SMBs go out of business within 6 months
- • HTTPS is not enough; you need immutable infrastructure
“Why would anyone hack me? I sell flowers.”
It’s the most dangerous sentence in business. You assume hackers want your secrets. They don’t. They want your server resources, your customer emails, or simply the chaos of holding your data for ransom.
Here is the cold conflict: 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses. And 60% of those businesses go under within six months of the breach.
The automated threat
Hackers don’t sit in dark rooms manually typing your URL. They use bots. Thousands of them, scanning millions of websites every hour for vulnerabilities in old WordPress plugins or unpatched systems.
Your website isn’t personal to them. It’s just an IP address with an open door.
Reputation is fragile
Imagine a potential client clicks your link and gets redirected to a gambling site. Or sees a big red “Not Secure” warning in their browser.
It takes ten years to build a reputation and ten seconds to destroy it. Security isn’t just about IT; it’s about brand stewardship.
HTTPS is hygiene
If your site doesn’t have a padlock, you’re invisible. Google flags non-HTTPS sites as “Not Secure.” It destroys your SEO and terrifies your visitors. But an SSL certificate is just the beginning, not the solution.
The Devstate shield
We don’t sell “security plugins.” We sell a fortress.
- Immutable Infrastructure: Our code sits on read-only systems. It literally cannot be infected by traditional PHP exploits.
- 24/7 Monitoring: We see attacks before they happen.
- Proactive Patching: We update the infrastructure so you don’t have to worry about the latest “zero-day” exploit.
Security is not a product. It’s a mindset.
Secure your business today. Sleep easier knowing your digital front door is locked.
