The reality is you need maintenance and security for the same reasons you need to have your oil changed and tires checked in your car. Without routine checks, your website can be left in a vulnerable position. Websites do not coincidentally get hacked. Proper maintenance is required to stay current on the latest code versions for software used on your website. When vulnerabilities are identified by developers or the community, the vendors create patches to fix those issues. It is your responsibility to ensure your website remains up to date. You would not drive 20,000 miles on a single oil change and you should not go a month without maintenance for your website. This advice applies regardless of whether or not you use a content resource management (CRM).
