Keeping website platforms updated is important for security. With each new CMS release, there is the potential for known security vulnerabilities to be patched. You'll have the latest security fixes if you update to the newest version of your platform. If you don't update your website platform, your site may be vulnerable to hackers.
You might leave your site open to hackers if you don't update your version of your website's platform. There are domestic and foreign hackers who review CMS platform update releases for unannounced security patches to learn what to target in outdated CMS installations.
Another reason to update CMS platforms is to take advantage of new features and improvements.

It is important to maintain offsite backups for your website and its database. This may be due to compliance requirements within your organization or industry, or it may simply be for the peace-of-mind knowing you have a backup in case of disaster.

For instance, someone on your team might accidentally move files inside an FTP account, or installed an update which created a conflict, or added a caching extension which broke the website.
