Rule #1: Keep your software up to date
Rule #2: A Firewall – get one, there is no excuse
Rule #3: Bad Firewall Settings Are Your Own Darn (De)fault
Rule #4: Yes, You Do Need a CDN
If you think that you will never be the target of a Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoS), you’re wrong. I have personally seen dozens of these attacks—often on small innocuous sites that have done nothing wrong. And when an attack occurs, it can impact everyone in the datacenter—not just the target site.
Rule #5: What a difference a single letter makes – FTP vs. FTPS
As you know, FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol” and it is the most common method to upload and download large files to and from websites. This includes everything from pushing up bulk content, images, and code blocks to your server or when your customers download content that you have provided.
FTPS stands for “File Transfer Protocol Secure” and is just a much more secure way to transfer
