2 New technologies are invented to cut-down labor hours and improve efficiency. Where some tasks require us to invest ample of time and efforts, automating the workload has enabled us to perform effectively with accuracy. But with the digital world, comes a host of drawbacks and risk factors such as cyber threat. Nowadays, online businesses are highly exposed to external threats and thus, implementing security features is as essential as earning profit. Not only for your business, but a good website security strategy is essential for securing your customers' data.
