This helps protect sensitive information.

Firewalls

[{"selector":"#anim-96c92de8-3c1b-40d6-a555-240e91b4dc27","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b0994878-b6f6-4eed-9bb9-8abe6dc2341a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e3cccc64-5bd4-4c47-905a-e9ba9ad8ffa7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ffafd8e8-68b9-4ba0-953f-f62dad491973","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1539.42681%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Implement a web application firewall (WAF) to filter and monitor HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. This helps protect against various web application attacks.

Regular Backups

[{"selector":"#anim-ce6b3c7d-8eb9-47ce-96c1-b97bf6338d07","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-daaf0417-cd53-4ded-9a37-d03d14df7c2f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a435996-5231-4bb1-8c79-315850ce4436","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-006de908-2506-458a-9d61-32f401e8f3e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1578.13655%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Regularly back up your website's data and ensure that backups are stored securely. In the event of a cyber-attack or data loss, having up-to-date backups allows you to restore your website quickly.

Monitoring and Logging
