Can’t my in-house IT person just do all of this security stuff for me?

We love good IT people. They are our allies in the fight against cyberthreats. But, web and IT are different animals. IT people are trained and certified to manage the hardware and internal systems required to operate a business. These systems include computers, mobile devices, printers, faxes, email programs, mail servers and phone systems. Web technology (and WordPress in particular) requires completely different training and skill sets to manage. It’s like comparing a plumber and an electrician. Both are well-respected trades who work in your home. But, you wouldn’t want to get your plumber to rewire your house.
