What is Website Security?

Website security is essential for protecting your website, data, and visitors from cyberattacks and data breaches. By implementing strong security measures, you reduce the risk of hacks, viruses, and the misuse of sensitive information.

One of the most important website security measures is using an SSL certificate. SSL encrypts all data transferred between your website and its visitors (recognizable by the padlock and https:// in the address bar), keeping personal details, login credentials, and payment information safe.

• SSL (Secure Socket Layer): Encrypts communications and increases your visitors’ trust. Essential for online shops and any site with contact forms.
• Firewall & DDoS Protection: Shields your website from external threats, such as hacking attempts or attacks aimed at taking your site offline.
• Automatic Backups: With regular backups, you can quickly restore your website in case of issues or data loss.
• Malware Scanning: Detects and removes malicious software before it can cause harm to your website or visitors.
• Secure Hosting: Choosing a reliable host with safe, up-to-date servers is the foundation of a secure website.

Website security is never “finished.” Always stay alert by keeping your site updated, using strong passwords, and regularly checking your security status.
