A user highlights the need for proactive monitoring of website security, mentioning issues like expired SSL certificates and email domain spoofing. They suggest that small businesses need affordable solutions to monitor their website security rather than being reactive.
I'll be honest — I started paying attention to this after watching a few small business owners I know get blindsided. One had their SSL cert expire and customers started getting browser warnings for three days before anyone told them. Another had their email domain spoofed and didn't know until clients started receiving fake invoices "from them." The thing is, none of these were negligence. They just didn't have anyone watching. A proper security team isn't in the budget for most small businesses, and the enterprise tools that do this monitoring are priced for enterprise budgets. Curious if this is a problem others here have actually run into — do you have anything watching your domain, cert expiration, email authentication, that kind of thing? Or does something have to go wrong first before it gets on your radar?
