Website platforms that are proactive to update their version of the CMS platform. Here are some tips to increase your CMS security.<\/p><p>First, <b>keep your CMS platform, third-party plugins, and your theme up-to-date<\/b>. Some famous CMS, like WordPress and Drupal or Joomla, are web defacement-susceptible and are under the constant radar of hackers. Therefore, CMS platform update allows the core team or contributors to find the vulnerabilities and create patches before these hackers do.<\/p><p>Moreover, we suggest all administrators\/developers\/owners <b>remove unused CMS Material<\/b> (\u201cUninstall\u201d) to prevent vulnerabilities and threats. This will then result in the injection of your website\/hosting and lead to inconveniences such as internet access default or disturbance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ad8edad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ad8edad\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-181da25\" data-id=\"181da25\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38e26d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"38e26d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Next, <b>hide your platform and control panel<\/b> to prevent the attackers from finding them. For instance, change the generic URL of your admin panel as if the hackers know your platform, they may have access to the source code and study the common vulnerabilities of your CMS. To hide your platform and control panel:<\/p><ul><li>Change URLs to admin panel<\/li><li>Make sure hackers won\u2019t determine your platform by looking at your HTML code<\/li><li>Create a whitelist of IP addresses<\/li><li>Use strong passwords<\/li><li>Use intrusion prevention software like Fail2Ban<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f9dc131 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f9dc131\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49d3115\" data-id=\"49d3115\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-985cf39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"985cf39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Furthermore, use <b>firewall protection<\/b> to monitor and control incoming traffic. This will shield your website from unwanted traffic and ensure to block all back-end ports. The firewall will also prevent attacks on your network infrastructure as it will block the server and individual components like your database.<\/p><p>Lastly, <b>scan your CMS for viruses constantly.<\/b> It is also a great idea to scan your CMS for malware and vulnerabilities. Firstly, you might be already infected and don\u2019t even know about it. Secondly, you should know about your website&#8217;s weak spots to protect yourself before hackers find them.<\/p><p>Check out the next article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casbay.com.my\/guide\/kb\/smf-simple-machine-forum-prevent-spamming-in-smf\">How to Prevent Spamming in SMF<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CMS Security Guide\/Tips Our Security team would like to advise all the administrators\/developers\/owners of websites using CMS.
