Cyber attacks can cause a dent in your reputation, and visitors may not want to visit your website anymore. Further, the cleanup cost after a cyber attack can be costly.
Website security is a set of actions and steps taken to ensure the safety of your website from attacks of these sorts. Website security software scans your website for any possible threats like backdoors, malware,m trojans, and other possible threats. In case there is any threat present, it notifies the user and suggests ways to tackle it.
Types of web application security
Here are the types of web application security that can handle any security threats:
1. Web Application Firewall or WAF: A web application firewall protects a web application against threats like SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and cross-site forgery. It acts as a barrier between the attacker and the target server and filters out any malicious attack.
2. Protection Against DoS Attacks: A protection against all DDoS attacks is another type of web application security. It filters out traffic and only lets legitimate requests reach the website.
3. DNS Security: Another type of web application security is DNS security. It offers protection against any DNS attacks. Cybercriminals often try to change the DNS server to direct the traffic on a genuine website to some other malicious website.
