There are many costs associated with not paying enough attention to your organization’s web security, the largest being the risk of security breaches. The stakes for preventing breaches are high, as unauthorized access to data in an organization’s security system can result in devastating financial losses, bad publicity, and loss of consumer trust. In addition to the risk of security leaks, businesses may experience a rise in customer complaints due to falsified transactions and legal implications due to neglected website security. No one wants to be on the security team responsible for losing an organization’s data. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to your website security.
