Get Ongoing Support From a Magento Web Agency

Website Support from a Magento Web Agency

Official support for the Magento 1 platform is fast approaching. As of June 30th, 2020, eCommerce websites running on the Magento 1 platform will no longer receive official updates and security patches from Magento. This will leave sites on the M1 platform vulnerable to cyber security threats. The best way to protect your Magento 1 websites from hackers, malware, and more is by partnering with a Magento web agency for ongoing support.

Why Your Site Needs Ongoing Support

With only one week until M1 EOL, over 150,000 merchants have chosen to remain on the Magento platform. Once official support ends, these websites will be at risk from a myriad of security threats. Major security concerns include

• Spamming
• Phishing
• Theft of User Data
• Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

These are serious threats that can have severe consequences for eCommerce sites. DDoS attacks can affect your PCI compliance status, causing you to lose compliance status and ability to take credit card payment on site. Theft of user data, especially credit card or payment information, can lead to significant financial loss. Protecting user data is crucial to maintaining customer trust and brand integrity.
