Joomla Security - Rise Above the Crowd

  The following text is a real client inquiry without identifying the source: 

Hello, We have a web site that we built with joomla 1.5 and we are looking for help with joomla support such as joomla security, updating joomla, backups/recovery . As far as maintaining our site, updating content, and adding new extensions we are fairly proficient, but we need help in the support as we were recently hacked and it took us a day or so to get back online. Is this something you do for sites that you didn't build? Thank you

Business users must take disaster planning and recovery seriously to avoid data loss, strengthen data security and keep business continuity in a time of a technical disaster. Unfortunately, business users are often too busy with their daily operation to always keep an eye on mission critical security and data loss prevention. 

  If you answer NO to any of the questions below, then you are not doing enough to protect your Joomla web site:

1. Do you meet Joomla security checklist guidelines?
2. Do you have unrestricted access to server log files which you often check?
3. Do you have 24/7 automated site monitoring?
4. Do you use appropriate server configuration for Joomla hosting?
5. Do you use secure server access (shell)?
6. Do you use a reliable server host?
7. Do you complete and periodically test daily backups of your database and weekly backup of files?
8. Do you have, improve and practice a disaster recovery plan?
9. Do you have a test site for testing updates?
10. Do you check regularly for security updates of Joomla core and addons?
