What are website security updates?

Website security updates are released to improve security and patch vulnerabilities in the core software that make up your website – this includes WordPress and third-party themes and plugins.

Some vulnerabilities present security risks and can be addressed by regularly updating your website. WordPress is one of the world’s most commonly used content management systems (CMS) to build websites and a prime target of hackers. Themes and plugins installed on your website may also contain security vulnerabilities. In addition to updates offered in your WordPress theme and plugins, they can bring you newly added features for a better website and user experience.

Security in WordPress is taken very seriously, but as with all software and IT systems there are potential security issues that may arise if some basic security precautions aren’t taken. The same risks apply to any third-party themes or plugins you or your web developer may have installed on your website. 44% of hacking was caused by outdated WordPress versions.
