An SSL certificate wraps all that sensitive information in a layer of encryption to make it impossible to read.

Using an SSL certificate is the starting point for having a secure website.

When it comes to log-in security, there’s a lot of ground to cover.

But you can go a long way with just two simple implementations: strong passwords and multifactor authentication.
Strong passwords are fantastic; they're effectively impossible to brute-force and nearly impossible to guess.
You probably think that no hacker has ever been scared off by a backup. Backups are a precaution, and you'd be correct. However, they also give you a safe place to recover in a crisis.

For the safest option, check out a managed hosting plan. Not only will you enjoy hardened security, but you’ll also have someone handling the updates for your entire site.

Even with the ever-changing threat landscape, a WAF is an indispensable tool. One thing you’ll notice is that most modern WAFs can modify and deploy rules rapidly as new vulnerabilities are discovered.

Keep track of user roles so you know who has access to data, who can make changes, and what other privileges they have. Only provide users with the roles they need to complete their tasks. Anything more than that is a vulnerability.
