How to keep my website safe from Intruders?

Hi Mdarifsadik,

Websites are vulnerable to virus attacks, hence a need to ensure their protection. One way to ensure that your website is protected from harm is by ensuring that you set up and an antivirus that scans every content that users upload on the website like pictures, and even documents like doc files and PDF. Ensuring that only registered users are able to use the website for purposes like uploading and downloading will keep the website safe, otherwise someone who may be having bad intentions may carelessly upload images and other documents with the aim of crushing your website.

Hope this helps.
