Why Many Ignore Security

I am not a bank why would hackers target me? Most hacks are automated scanners - they do not care who you are. Security too expensive? Basic measures mostly free or very low cost. Real cost is post-breach damage. Outsourcing handles it? Outsourcer delivers functionality; security is shared responsibility.

Zero/Low Cost Measures

Strong password policy (free): 12+ chars, unique per account, use password manager. Enable 2FA everywhere. Keep everything updated (free): OS patches, CMS/plugins/themes, web server, DB, runtime. HTTPS encryption (free): Let's Encrypt cert, auto-renewal, force redirect. Regular backups (low cost): daily auto-backup to different location, weekly restore test. For typical 10-20GB site: 10-30 RMB/month.

Medium Cost Advanced Measures

WAF (Web Application Firewall): cloud vendor basic WAF a few thousand RMB/year. Covers SQL injection/XSS/CC/webshell. Best ROI for companies without dedicated security team. Vulnerability scanning: free tools (OWASP ZAP/Nikto) or commercial (Aliyun Anji/Tencent T-Sec) hundreds to thousands annually. CDN+WAF integrated: many CDNs include basic DDoS+WAF at little extra cost.

益阳 Security Status

Random audit of 50 local enterprise websites: Only ~30% have HTTPS enabled. Only ~20% use WAF or any security service. Only ~40% confirm regular backup routine. Over 60% still use default admin username or weak passwords. Most 益阳 websites are essentially naked - anyone willing to try can break in easily.
