About Sentinel
Sentinel is one of the largest employee benefits providers in the Northeast with 4,000+ clients and more than 250,000 plan participants. Sentinel partnered with SilverTech for their website redesign to accentuate their competitive advantages to other providers and strengthen brand messaging and company culture online. Additionally, they wanted to highlight Sentinel as a one-stop-shop benefits provider for employers and employees. Sentinel sought SilverTech’s expertise to create an experience geared towards the individual including storytelling elements through iconography, lifestyle-type imagery, and testimonials on their website.
The Process
Sentinel chose SilverTech’s recommendation of Kentico for several reasons. What appealed most to them was the easy-to-use interface for content editors, the ability to tag content clearly and effectively for multiple user groups, varied ability levels/place in the sales funnel, and the platform’s marketing automation abilities. Since the main goal of this website redesign was to create lead generation, the power and customizable functionality of the Kentico CMS coupled with the easy-to-use personalization and marketing automation features was a no brainer for Sentinel.
The Challenges
SilverTech faced several challenges throughout working on this project. One of the pains of Sentinel’s old site was that the homepage was difficult to use, asking users to act before understanding who Sentinel is. The new website clearly communicates the Sentinel brand before asking users to act. Another challenge that SilverTech faced was placing educational materials and related resources in a location and manner on the website that would be the most beneficial to users. This would make it easy for users to find information on their own and eliminate the need for Sentinel to send users direct links to the information. Sentinel loves the new website and SilverTech was able to address all the challenges of the old website.

Progress Sitefinity is a popular content management system used by businesses and organizations around the world. As with any CMS, security is an important consideration when using Sitefinity. In this blog post, we will look at some of the key security features of Sitefinity and best practices for securing your Sitefinity website.
Security Features of Sitefinity
Sitefinity comes with several built-in security features that help keep your website safe. These features include:
- Access Control: Sitefinity has a robust user management system that allows you to control who can access your website's content and features. You can create user roles within the CMS, give specific permissions, and assign users to those roles.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Sitefinity supports the ability to configure an external identity provider which supports two-factor authentication. This adds an extra layer of security to user logins. With two-factor authentication, users must provide a password and a verification code sent to their mobile device or email address.
- Secure Login: Sitefinity uses a secure login system that encrypts user credentials and uses HTTPS to protect data in transit.
- Anti-Forgery Tokens: Sitefinity includes anti-forgery tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Password Policies: Sitefinity allows you to set password policies, such as password complexity requirements and password expiration periods, to help prevent unauthorized access.
Best Practices for Sitefinity Security
In addition to the built-in security features of Sitefinity, there are several best practices you can follow to further secure your website:
- Keep Sitefinity Up to Date: It is important to keep your Sitefinity installation up to date with the latest security patches and updates. This helps to protect against known vulnerabilities and exploits.
- Use Strong Passwords: Make sure all user passwords are strong and complex, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using common words, phrases, or personal information.
- Limit User Access: Only give users access to the features and content they need to do their job. This helps to limit the potential damage if a user's account is compromised.
- Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit and protect against man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Monitor User Activity: Monitor user activity and logins to detect suspicious behavior and potential security breaches.
- Use a Web Application Firewall: A web application firewall can help to protect your Sitefinity website against common attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
In Summary, Sitefinity Websites Are Secure
Sitefinity provides a range of built-in security features to help protect your website from attacks and unauthorized access. By following best practices for Sitefinity security, you can further enhance the security of your website and keep your data and users safe.
