Introducing Jetpack Scan: Stay Ahead of Malware Threats

Your website is essential to your business: it puts you in front of potential customers, gives you a platform to share your passion, and, in many cases, directly generates revenue. If it goes down for any reason, you miss out on valuable customers and visitors.

Hackers, viruses, and malware can bring down your website, either temporarily or permanently, and they’re always evolving. As a business owner, you simply don’t have time to worry about every single threat. You need to focus on running your business. But how can you still protect your hard work?

That’s where Jetpack Scan comes in.

Website Backups: What They Are and Why You Need One

Picture this: Your eCommerce business is five years old. Sales are in six-figures for the third year in a row. Your dream is becoming a reality. 

But then, an employee comes to you: customers are saying that they see an “insecure” notice when they visit your site. They’re afraid to place orders. You rush to fix things as soon as possible, which requires contacting your web host over the phone and trying to untangle the mess. You need to revert back to a secure and functioning version of your website before your company’s reputation is damaged any further. Unfortunately, that’s going to take some time.

#SmallBusinessWeek Day 5: Spotlight on Expert Help and Support

In the last installment of our #SmallBusinessWeek round-up, today we focus on the service that underpins every other service we provide.

“Turn it off… and on again.”

This is a phrase you’ve probably heard often from your cable company or internet service provider. Or variations on the theme from your host or developer such as “uninstall it and install it again.”

Our support approach is the opposite of that.

Every support request we receive gets personalized attention and a relevant response. (We may, sometimes, ask you to “turn it off and on again” but you’re guaranteed that that’s because we genuinely think it will help resolve your issue.)

The customer support that I’ve received from Jetpack has exceeded all of my expectations. The folks at customer support have replied to my questions extremely fast. They also work quickly to identify and provide a solution to the problem. I can only hope that when my website grows up that I will be able to offer the superior customer service provided to me from Jetpack. Thank you again! Dave at DQ’s WebSolutions.

Comment by Dave.

Jetpack’s high ratings, of which over 65% are 5-star ratings, are primarily due to the excellent support we provide. We are able to do this because, although we care about things like ticket volume and response times, the main thing we care about is customer satisfaction — which averages at a steady rate of 85% full satisfaction — which is why our support staff call themselves Happiness Engineers.

This is rarely achieved by simply asking users to turn it off (and on again) by default. It is achieved by having an amazing support staff who practice user empathy, are experts in their field, and have a direct line to our development teams.

Can you get cheaper security services? Sure. But as you know, cheaper isn’t always better and having an expert in your corner when the chips are down is the clever option.

#SmallBusinessWeek Day 3: Spotlight on Securing your Business Site

Continuing with our #SmallBusinessWeek celebration, today the spotlight is on how Jetpack protects your business site from unwelcome attention and, more crucially, how using Jetpack means you can recover from problems.

How Does Catastrophic Site Failure Occur?

Neglect.

Day by day, week by week, month by month, if a building is not maintained cracks will appear, rust will take hold, and eventually, the roof will cave in when you least expect it to.

A website is not much different. The consequences will be less dramatic but no less real.

If content, comments, code, passwords, and plugins are not being regularly tested, audited, cleaned, and updated cracks will appear in the form of vulnerabilities and spam. The metaphorical roof will “cave in” when your website security is breached and hackers gain access to your site dashboard, content, and user data. It only needs to happen once for your hard-won reputation to be undermined.

Needless to say, it is much cheaper in the long run to keep the roof in good shape than deal with the fallout and expense of rebuilding.

The Jetpack Advantage

Jetpack has both free and paid services that maintain your site for you and provide you with an “insurance policy” should something go wrong.

These are the benefits you will experience:

  1. Prevention (much better than cure).
    Jetpack protects your site from brute force attacks (free), provides secure authentication with WordPress.com accounts (free), automatically updates your plugins (free), and monitors your site every 2 minutes for downtime (free). Paid customers are protected from spam and affiliates links that aim to steal traffic and undermine your brand.
  2. Daily code audits and scans.
    Premium plan customers benefit from automatic, daily scans of their entire site code for suspicious code. Jetpack looks for and identifies known security threats from the thousands in our regularly updated library. Professional plan customers also benefit from automated fixes not just notifications.
  3. A backup plan.
    All our paid plans, starting from just $39 per year, provide you with the ultimate backup plan: daily, automated, and unlimited storage backups of your entire site with the ability to restore at the push of a button. Professional plan customers also benefit from real-time backups.
  4. And a fallback plan.
    If all else fails, you can rely on our team of WordPress experts. Priority support, available to all paid customers, gets you personalized assistance with restoring or migrating your site, dealing with identified threats, and other website security issues and best practices.
