When people ask me how to secure a website with 100% certainty, I tell them it’s simple: just keep it offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once they stop yelling at me, they’ll usually shift the conversation towards website builders and content management systems (CMS) to find out which option has the best security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What they don’t understand is, it doesn’t matter whether you use a website builder for your blog, or a CMS to power your business; there’s always going to be an element of risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The real problem with that is, the responsibility for managing that risk is yours. If that wasn’t bad enough, things could go wrong if you try to do it all yourself. Really fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s why, in this article, I’m sharing my top-drawer tips for keeping a website secure. Don’t worry; these aren’t the kind of tips you need a Ph.D. to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They’re simple, valuable strategies you can implement in the course of an afternoon. Better yet, they work. No matter which approach you take, each option has already earned its stripes in real-world battles against hackers and bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
