Outdated websites<br />
Using an older <strong>CMS</strong> version that is obsolete also means that the security of the<br />
system has not been updated. In every version of the software update, new<br />
security fixes and upgrades are been released.<br />
<br />
Additional Add-ons<br />
Using additional plugins, modules, themes and other injections that are not<br />
verified are one of the reasons for hacking , hence if their vulnerabilities are not<br />
fixed they give way <strong>to</strong> high possibilities for hackers <strong>to</strong> gain access through these<br />
unverified plugins.<br />
These are the vulnerabilities through which a website can be hacked easily,<br />
however in case we develop the website using strong security practices it would<br />
be more reliable and gives away less possibility <strong>to</strong> hacking. We have ways and<br />
solutions <strong>to</strong> <strong>secure</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> websites which are discussed below:<br />
Two Fac<strong>to</strong>r Authentications (2FA)<br />
A second layer security during the login would be essential in order <strong>to</strong> tighten<br />
the security of the website. Authentica<strong>to</strong>r plugins can be used that would send<br />
an OTP <strong>to</strong> the registered mobile or email, once verified the user would be able<br />
<strong>to</strong> login.<br />
Restrict the number of login attempts<br />
Restricting the number of login attempts would eliminate brute force attacks, as<br />
well as decrease the possibility of hackers or bots <strong>to</strong> gain access <strong>to</strong> the system.<br />
Verified plugins<br />
As we had discussed about vulnerabilities in installing unverified plugins, it is<br />
recommended <strong>to</strong> install verified plugins in order <strong>to</strong> keep the system <strong>secure</strong>.
