**Web security** refers to the measures, protocols, and tools used to protect public-
facing websites, web servers, and user data from cyberattacks, unauthorized access,
malware, and data breaches.

**Some Core Objectives:**

 * **Block Unauthorized Access:** Stop hackers from breaking into admin panels, 
   databases, or hosting accounts.
 * **Protect Sensitive Data:** Safeguard user passwords, payment details, and personal
   records from being stolen or leaked.
 * **Prevent Disruption:** Keep the site online and functional against traffic floods
   or sabotage

**Some Essential Best Practices & Defenses:**

 * **SSL/TLS Encryption:** Enforces **HTTPS** to encrypt data traveling between 
   the user’s browser and the web server.
 * **Web Application Firewall (WAF):** Filters and blocks malicious web traffic 
   before it reaches your server (such as solutions from [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/security/how-to-secure-a-website/)).
 * **Software & Plugin Updates:** Patch core CMS software, themes, and plugins quickly
   to close known vulnerabilities.
 * **Strong Authentication:** Enforce complex passwords and **Multi-Factor Authentication(
   MFA)** for all administrative accounts.
 * **Regular Backups:** Keep automated, off-site backups so the website can be cleanly
   restored if an attack or failure happens
