Security works best in layers. Hosting providers are responsible for protecting the server environment, but many threats target your website directly—where server-level defenses often fall short.
That’s where application-layer security comes in. It focuses on protecting the website itself, including its files, content, and user interactions. This layer defends against threats like malware injections, SEO spam, DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access attempts that bypass traditional server protections.
Sucuri’s Complete Website Security Platform is built to provide this critical layer of defense. It includes a Website Application Firewall (WAF), malware detection and removal, blocklist repair, performance optimization, and more—all managed from a single dashboard. You don’t need to juggle multiple vendors or pay extra for essential features. Everything is integrated to keep your site secure, fast, and online.
