Security Announcements: When Bad News Is Good News

By , About.com GuideNovember 12, 2011

Follow me on:

Are you tired of all that good news in your email inbox? Congratulations, you've been nominated for a steady stream of bad news: security announcements.

Setting up a CMS website is (relatively) easy. The tough part, as with any relationship, is maintenance.

You have to keep upgrading, forever. Every day, there's a chance you'll need to drop everything and apply some critical security update.

There are three ways to monitor security updates.

Method 1: Keep ignoring them.

Method 2: Every day, check every single website for every piece of software your CMS uses, and see whether any need to be updated. Browsing is fun!

Method 3: Subscribe to security announcements. Done.

Security updates are always bad news. But they're also good news. Apply them, and your site is safe. For now.
