In today’s digital landscape, website security isn’t optional—it’s essential. Recently, a small online retailer faced a devastating DDoS attack that flooded their site with nearly 400,000 bot visits in just 24 hours, crippling their operations and compromising their analytics data.
The Growing Threat to Local Businesses
Your website is more than just a digital storefront—it’s often the first point of contact between your business and potential customers. Unfortunately, it can also become a vulnerability if not properly secured.

Website Security Essentials: Domain Protection Guide

Secure Website Architecture
