Security update: Your website is being protected

On 21 October, critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology behind WordPress and many other websites, required urgent action across the hosting industry.

Castlegate IT worked closely with our hosting providers to prepare for the necessary security updates. Importantly, our hosting partners and Cloudflare implemented additional firewall protections before the security patches were released, helping to protect websites against attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The necessary patches have now been applied across our main managed hosting environments. A small number of legacy environments remain protected by additional firewall measures while their updates are completed.

No action is required from our clients. We continue to monitor the situation and manage the necessary security measures on their behalf.

“One of the most common frustrations we hear from prospective clients is that they struggle to get hold of their accountant when they need advice, or find themselves speaking to a different person each time they make contact. My clients know they can pick up the phone anytime and speak with me directly, whether it’s a day-to-day query or a strategic business matter.”  Ben Walton | Audit & Accounts Senior
