Web servers by design open a window between your network and the world. The care taken with server maintenance, web application updates and your web site coding will define the size of that window, limit the kind of information that can pass through it and thus establish the degree of web security you

How can we make our website more secure ?

First of all the website/application should be run with one of the latest stable versions of the code.

The hackers will find loop holes using the vulnerabilities in outdated code versions.

The plugins and themes are always should be uptodate. Always use themes and plugins from a trusted sources only.

To improve the security, you may need to install an SSL certificate on your website so that you can prevent hackers from steeling the credit card information used on your website.

For enhancing the security, you can install any Web Application Firewall to avoid potential hacks and malicious code injections.

Always use complex FTP/SFTP and admin passwords for the website and change the passwords in regular intervals.

Do a daily/weekly backup for your website and also perform a routine malware scan on your webfile to ensure safety of the website code. You can use some online web scanner to check this either.

Always make sure that your server is installed with a software firewall to prevent syn flood and DOS attacks toward the websites. Also ensure that the server is installed with any anti-bruteforce softwares to protect your website from brute force based attacks.

You can use CDN services like Cloud Flare to prevent DDOS to your website.

Also make sure that the server is running on CloudLinux kernel, which provides advanced features to protect your website from Sym-link attacks and to prevent other kernel based potential vulnerabilities.

Always do FTP/SFTP to the website from a virus free machine.
Do not save the website passwords in your browser

1. Protect your website with HTTPS

2. Stay on top of your security updates

Security updates are crucial for everyone. Hackers don’t care about the size of a business; if your website is insecure, they can break in. In fact, Hackers often target small businesses which may not be as up-to-speed on security as larger corporations.

monitor your security updates by checking your content Management System dashboard. Most content management systems, such as WordPress, display the updates ready for download. If your CMS doesn’t or you are unsure, contact your hosting provider.

check if your website is backed-up as part of your hosting package. This means that you will have a recent version of your website to go back to should your website get hacked.

3. Be password savvy

Just imagine: you’ve secured your website with HTTPS, you’re keeping on top of your security updates, your anti-virus is up-to-date and firewalls are in place…and then you blow it all with a weak password. Don’t fall at the final hurdle. Be smart when it comes to your passwords.
