Website Security and Threat Report
In March, Sectigo released a new threat report that found websites are attacked 172 times per day, eight attacks per minute, and there are currently 4.1 million websites infected with malware worldwide. The report found that cyberattacks, especially automated ones, are on the rise, primarily due to skyrocketing bot traffic. The findings highlight the need for a comprehensive security solution. The company’s suite of security products designed to protect SMBs from attacks of all kinds can combat these rising threats.
