You can never protect yourself 100%. What you do is protect yourself as much as possible, and mitigate risk to an acceptable degree. You can never remove all risk. – Kevin Mitnick
You are vulnerable to attacks — in fact, to a degree, everyone is vulnerable. So, if even the top companies with the best paid security teams and all the most powerful tech in the business is open to being attacked, you definitely are.
What can you do about it?
Well, any level of security is a step in the right direction, so the first step should be to start adding levels of security to your website to deter potential attackers.
So, the security team here at Aqua Vita gathered some tried and true tools to get you started in then right direction.
Top 4 Tools for Securing Your Website (in no particular order)
1. Securi
Securi continues to be an industry leader in website security and malware detection. Securi also boasts a wide range of protection and support; from their “WAF Protection” (which protects your site from potential hacks and DDoS attacks), to their rapid incident response and their live site monitoring, and all for only $199.00 a year, the Securi service can not be overlooked when considering a security application for your site.
Pros: Easy to interpret, and comes with a free plugin for WordPress.
Cons: It lacks some of the detail you may find in other web-focused security software.
Customer Review:

2. RapidSpike
RapidSpike is more than just a security application, they are a total website optimization service focusing on total reliability and performance improvement. However, their security is top-tier — RapidSpike’s security is dedicated to constant scanning of quite nearly every nook-and-cranny of your site.

3. Qualys
Qualys is another terrific security focused platform, priding itself on rapid response and live incident monitoring. However, Qualys has two interesting features: 1. It is cloud based. 2. consistent compliance maintenance. Since it is cloud based, there is no need for a clunky install; and, for the compliance maintenance, this interesting feature ensures your website is ready for an audit, and that your site is in constant compliance with recent standards — making it a great choice for the busy business owner.
Pros: It offers powerful protection at a decent price.
Cons: As with the others, it can be difficult to navigate, and has been described as being “slow” at times.
Customer Review:
“Qualys is our main vulnerability management solution, it is responsible for scanning 200+ assets.” Source
