WP Secure Pro: Necessity Or Not?
Update 11/15: The Rapid Crush team is launching WP Secure Pro 2.0 – a new and improved version of this training program. Be sure to check it out because it’ll be available for a limited time only. (Offer good until 11/17 at midnight PST).
WP Secure Pro is a training program that aims to teach every marketer how to eliminate the most common security risks that they are exposed to. Every website-big or small- needs to be protected from hackers or digital terrorists. Whether you are in it to protect your high-income generating site or you just want to be sure that your well-researched content won’t be exposed to the anybody and everybody, you need to have some sort of security plan for your website.
No Such Thing as Too Secure
When it comes to the World Wide Web and your site security, you can never really be too secure. There are so many techno geeks and hackers out there who would hack into a website just for the fun of it. In fact, just go to Google and you will be surprised to see how many “How To Be A Hacker” websites are out there right now.
This is why Jason Fladlien and Wilson Mattos decided that it’s high time to create a course that will teach marketers, specifically WordPress users, how to give hackers a run for their money.
WP Secure Pro 101
One of the newest course out by Jason and Wilson, WP Secure Pro contains training videos of the different steps that you need to follow and check to maintain the best security for your website. The WP Secure Pro enumerates a number of easy to follow steps to beef up your website security. Yes, website security is more than just encrypted URLs and complicated passwords!
WP Secure Pro is also a collaboration between Jason, Wilson and Bill Davis who is a WP expert (just check the Warrior Forum and you’ll see his reputation in WP). Together, Jason, Wilson and Bill, made sure that WP Secure Pro is very easy to understand and completely thorough.
What Am I At Risk Of Anyway?
Regardless of the number of months or years that you have been using WordPress, I am sure that you might be wondering what exactly it is that you are at risk of. Why should you invest in WP Secure Pro? There are several reasons. But WP Secure Pro lays out the seven main and most common security risks that you are exposed to:
- Installation
- Using Plugins and Other Tools
- Admin Account Management
- HTAccess
- Backing Up WP Site
- Upgrading WP Site
- Account/Information Recovery
WP Secure Pro puts a prime on the account management topic which makes sense, since it is exactly this type of information that is most susceptible to being hacked or cracked.
Is Hacking Worth The Fuss?
WP Secure Pro costs a one-time fee of $19.95 (for a limited time) and even though it is not that much, the question still needs to be asked: is WP Secure Pro worth the money? And since WP Secure Pro is a course and not an application or plugin – will it be worth your time? To answer that, let me tell you a bit about hacking. Even before the Internet became as big it is today, hacking has been a way of life for many tech geniuses.
In 1983, Kevin Poulse hacked into the Arpanet system (one of the first computer networks in the world) and he was able to control the whole network before being arrested by the FBI. In 2000, the “I Love You” virus infiltrated and destroyed computer systems around the world (including the CIA’s!) and cost billions of dollars’ worth of damages. There are many more stories that will prove how serious hacking is but that’s not what you have to worry about.
Small Businesses: The Hackers’ New Target
Data from the US Secret Service and Verizon Communication shows that in 2009, 27% of the 141 reported cyber attacks were from small companies. In 2010, the number of hacked company websites went to 761 and the interesting fact is, 63% of those are from small businesses!
Just this July, a Chicago-based small business owner lost $22,000 because of a computer program that was hacked into his system- it sent his customers’ credit card numbers to Russia. So is upping your website security a must? If you don’t want to lose your hard-earned profits, it is.
Is The WP Secure Pro The Answer?
There aren’t a lot of WP security courses out there and well, for a small fee and taking into account the good reputation of the developers, WP Secure Pro is definitely worth a try. Besides, as with their other products, you will get a 30-day money back guarantee if you aren’t impressed with the WP Secure Pro course.
Aside from that, you will get Bill Davis’ “The Ultimate Guide to WordPress” which is a how-to guide and video training for marketers who are new to WordPress. It consists of seven modules and covers everything about using WordPress – from installation to upgrades.
WP Secure Pro: The Verdict
In one way or another, any person who owns a website wants to make some money out of it. And this is the very reason why website security should take a high position in your priority list. WP Secure Pro makes this process easier for you.
Overall, I would have to say that for the money, WP Secure Pro provides quite a few useful and effective techniques to secure your wordpress website.
