The question often comes up "WHY" do you need a security Tune UP? Isn't Joomla Secure?

One of the most overlooked and ignored areas of a Joomla website is  the topic of how secure is the website?

Will it get hacked? Can it get hacked? What would I do if my site ends up HACKED?

I will never forget attending the JoomlaEXPO breakout session

'Preparation, and Recovery for Joomla Sites" lead by Tom Canavan from JoomlaRescue.com .

Someone in the audience asked Tom if he thought that Joomla was generally a secure software. Tom's response was priceless. "I can guarantee that Joomla is 100% secure, until you install it on a server!" replied Tom. The room erupted in laughter. Has anyone ever put something so bluntly simple that you found out that the answer was obvious to begin with? Tom did just that when he made that statement.

See, I too did not see the value of having a secure website until I had one hacked. And let me tell you this, IT ROYALLY SUCKS BIG TIME!!!! Still, I didn't learn my lesson about having backups and preventive measures in place. You see, you don't have to be hacked to have your site go down. Joomla Showroom found this out a few months back. Our host had decided to upgrade our server and during the switch to the new server, the site and database got totally corrupted and was almost not salvageable at all. Was this the hosting company's fault? NO! It was my fault for not having an ongoing backup of my site files and database. Thank God I knew someone to call. JoomlaRescue.com was our savior that weekend. It took Tom 5 days to figure out how to salvage the site and the database but he got it done when we couldn't get it right. It is a truly humbling experience let me tell you.

Can your website afford to go down? Can you afford to have your client's website go down? I know that we can't here at Joomla Showroom.

So we recommend getting your website "tuned up" by Tom Canavan at JoomlaRescue.com and we know that you won't be disappointed.

This small monetary investment, will pay off in the future by avoiding costly downtime.

Remember - it’s not IF you will be attacked and broken in, but only WHEN.
Get your tune up today!
