A firewall is a network security system that prevents unauthorized access to the website. Firewalls allow only authorized traffic through the website and can be used to protect against malicious attacks such as DDoS attacks, malware, and other cyber threats.
SSL/TLS certificates are used to encrypt traffic between the website and the web browser. This encryption ensures that any data sent between the two is kept secure, and it prevents hackers from being able to gain access to the data.
Authentication ensures that only authorized users are able to access the website or certain features of the website. This can be done through a variety of methods, including username and password combinations, two-factor authentication, and biometrics.
Anti-virus and anti-malware software protect the website from malicious software that can be used to gain access to the website or its data. This software is constantly scanning the website for any malicious activity and can be used to protect against a variety of cyber threats.
