Most businesses invest thousands in their website and will develop quality content for blogs.
This can all be destroyed if a hacker is able to gain access to your website.
Disable directory listings: if a web server does not find an index file on your website, by default it shows a full list of all files within that directory, which is an open door for hackers
Backup your website: most web hosting platforms provide a website backup option. But what happens if the hackers delete your backups, or the backups aren’t performed? We recommend that you backup your website offsite onto another server and test it twice annually.
Monitor file changes: To ensure the only changes occurring on your website are the ones you and your team are making, you want to monitor any file changes. A simple way of doing this is to use the Website File Changes Monitor plugin. The plugin will scan your website every day and will track three types of file changes: additions, modifications, and deletions
Disable error display: When your website displays PHP warnings and errors in the browser, this can be a serious security risk. You should configure your website to not display these errors
Monitor error logs and activity: Monitoring your error logs within your hosting platform can give you valuable information about who is trying to access your website.
