Software platforms covered
The Magento Update Support Package is in addition to any current support you receive and does not affect any other services we currently provide for you. This support solution has been created in response to the changes that are currently happening within the digital marketplace.
Magento 1 to Magento 2
Due to the very different nature of Magento 1 and Magento 2, this support package does not include the automatic upgrade from Magento 1 to Magento 2. If you would like a quote to upgrade your site to Magento 2, please contact your account manager for an accurate quote and process plan.
Security is arguably the most important reason why you should keep your Magento website up to date. Magento currently powers 18% of all e-commerce websites in the world, with an estimated 250,000 stores built on the platform. Due to its immense popularity, Magento, like most leading platforms, is a popular target for hackers, malicious code distributors and data thieves.
Every time a security vulnerability is reported, Magento releases an update that fixes the issue. This means that if you are not using the latest version of Magento, then you are using software with known security vulnerabilities. Hackers can search for websites running the older version, and you may become a victim of a sophisticated attack.
It is not just Magento itself that can be vulnerable, plugins can also be exploited by hackers. You need to make sure that all your Magento plugins, themes, and the core itself is always up to date.
In 2018 alone, there were 11 major releases by Magento relating to security and performance functionality and with more than 4,000 Magento 1 plugins now available and already over 2,400 for Magento 2, it is a full time job to manage the update process.
Now is the time to start your Magento Update Support Package with Piranha Digital or move your existing support to us. Call us today on 01772 888331 to find out more about our range of support packages available for all website platforms.
