Episode 65: How To Monitor Your Competition (The Tech Smart Boss Way) — The Tech Smart Boss Podcast — Podcast.co — pod.co
I’ve mentioned in previous podcast episodes that I don’t believe in paying too much to competition. Too often as entrepreneurs, we give our competition way too much credit and waste a lot of time trying to either stay ahead of them or worry about what they are doing. But that doesn’t mean I completely ignore them either. I like to put a side eye on them and in this episode, I go over what types of information I try to learn from my competition and the technology that I use to do it.

Cool Tech of the Week
You hear about websites getting hacked all the time. How does that typically happen? Vulnerabilities at the server level, some software plugin vulnerability, and bad passwords and human error. No one software can stop everything, but today’s Cool Tech of the Week is a security software to start with, WebARX.
I’ve been using WebARX for a while, we did a YouTube video on it back in 2018 here. Since then, they have been improving the service and improving the interface.
It works for WordPress and non-WordPress site which is nice and is very easy to install and manage. Turn on and it’s out of sight doing it’s job, just the way security software is supposed to.
Check it out today and if you don’t have any protection on your website, you may want to consider doing something now, versus what non-Tech Smart Bosses do which is look for a solution AFTER a hack has happened.

Web application security platform. Protect websites from plugin vulnerabilities. (WordPress, Magento, PHP, etc.) 7-day free trial.
