BEYOND WORDPRESS: GLOBAL SECURITY FLAWS PROMPT URGENT WEBSITE UPGRADES IN SOUTH AFRICA!
A series of major security disclosures in October has brought an often-overlooked business responsibility into focus: keeping the technology behind a website secure and maintained, even when everything on the screen appears to be working.

WHY SHOULD BUSINESS OWNERS PAY ATTENTION?
A website may appear to be running perfectly while the underlying server software, libraries or other components still require critical security updates.

SOUTH AFRICAN TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS ARE STEPPING IN.
Companies such as Mysatech have been assisting businesses with website upgrades, repairs and technical changes in response to these recent security concerns.
