And we are not just saying it, check out this interesting article from the Cinco Días newspaper: http://cincodias.com/cincodias/2015/03/16/pyme/1426518951_081100.html .

Do you want to know one of the main causes? The use of predefined CMS, which being open source, are like a neon for hackers. It is like having a generic lock to enter your house, that everyone could have. and only they have access?

We rescued a blog article where we talked about this topic: http://www.rananegra.es/blog/nuestra-experiencia-clientes-otros-profesionales-desarrollo-web-respecto-cms-predefinidos

Do you want more data? In 2011 alone, 311 vulnerabilities were reported affecting the giant WordPress, and that is the one that is reputed to be more secure! Regardless of whether it is the safest or not, it is the most used, and therefore, the most attacked.

And where do the biggest security flaws in these CMS reside, in the numerous plugins and modules that you must install if you want to have something more than a blog. We will not tire of saying it. These plugins are developed by web programmers from anywhere in the world and bring with them a perception of simplicity when it comes to expanding the functions of a web page, at the same time that they bring many problems. If we see every day “web programmers” with little experience pulling prices to try to compete with professionals, imagine what can be hidden behind a plugin development where no one knows who the programmer is.

If you still have questions, we will provide you with more information:

During the summer of last year, more than 50,000 WordPress-based web pages were hacked, by the MailPoet plugin. In September, more than 60,000 Drupal-based web pages were affected by the Mollum module vulnerability. That same month, serious vulnerabilities were found in the VirtueMart extension of the Joomla CMS, which gave the opportunity to gain complete control of the web, including the database. This has very serious implications.Can you imagine the complaints of the users of your website when they know that their data is in the hands of anyone?

We could continue to give examples of these security flaws, such as the case of November 2014 with Drupal-based web pages, which did not have the latest security update (because that is another topic of the predefined CMS, you must update frequently and cross fingers so that you do not misconfigure the media web) In this case, Drupal was notified as soon as they detected the problem, but of course … their audience is not only the companies that have their website in Drupal, there are also hackers, who launched themselves like crazy to attack such web pages.

Now, you choose: do you want a lock available to anyone for your business or do you want an exclusive lock for yourself? The second option goes through a correct , professional and personalized web development .
