This blog will give you a high level schematic overview of how you (and your hosting provider) can add effective and efficient ways to stop abusers, hackers, spammers and other ‘digital-low-life’ from messing with your site (further referred to in this blog as: abuser(s)), your site resources and your site visitors / customers.
The Image in this blog is used as the schematic, starting from the left, with visitors visiting your site and the security ‘zones’ they need to pass to actually see the web page in their browser.
Rule of thumb when securing your website is that the best place to stop an abuser is as early as possible in the flow. So stopping an abuser should be done in Zone 1, if that is not possible in zone 2 and if that is not possible in zone 3.
