In today’s digital landscape, website security is one of the most crucial aspects for any business. A secure website helps build trust with your visitors, protects sensitive information, and ensures smooth functioning. Active Website Management (AWM) goes beyond traditional maintenance and monitoring—it is a proactive approach that secures your website with tailored solutions based on individual needs. Let’s explore how AWM can elevate your website’s security and keep your business safe from vulnerabilities and potential threats.
Active Website Management isn’t just about handling updates or fixing bugs; it’s an ongoing process of ensuring that your website is secure, functional, and always performing at its best. The specialized team at AWM takes a personalized approach to each website’s security needs, helping to fortify and protect your online presence. Here’s how AWM ensures that your website remains safe:
Allowing users to browse the internal folders of your website can expose sensitive files, which could provide hackers with key information about your site’s structure. AWM steps in by blocking folder browsing, preventing malicious users from gaining access to directories that could compromise your security.

AWM applies a robust Content Security Policy (CSP) that prevents unauthorized execution of scripts on your site. This minimizes the risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. By strictly defining the sources from which scripts can be loaded, AWM adds an essential layer of protection to your website.
One of the common vulnerabilities on websites is the improper handling of user input, which can lead to SQL injections or XSS attacks. AWM ensures that all user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent malicious code from being injected into your website.
When user-generated content is displayed on your website, there is a risk of XSS attacks. AWM applies escaping techniques when rendering user content to ensure any potentially harmful code is rendered safe before displaying it on the website. This helps prevent malicious scripts from running.
WordPress sites, in particular, are often targeted because their default login URLs are well-known. AWM enhances your website security by changing the default login URL to a unique one, making it more difficult for attackers to find the login page and attempt brute-force attacks.
Two-factor authentication is an effective security measure that requires users to verify their identity through two separate methods. AWM integrates 2FA into your website’s login process, providing an additional layer of security. Even if a hacker gets hold of your password, they will still need the second factor to gain access.
Brute force attacks can be devastating to websites if not addressed properly. AWM limits the number of login attempts a user can make, blocking access after several failed attempts. This prevents attackers from bombarding your login page with password guesses.
One of the foundational security measures AWM implements is ensuring your website uses HTTPS with SSL certificates. SSL encryption secures the data transferred between the user’s browser and your server, protecting sensitive information like login credentials and credit card details from interception.
Hackers often target WordPress websites by exploiting file-editing capabilities in the admin panel. AWM disables file editing within the WordPress admin area, making it harder for hackers to alter your site’s files in case they gain admin access.
Keeping WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated is essential to maintaining a secure website. AWM actively monitors for updates and ensures they are applied regularly, closing security loopholes and addressing known vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

By default, WordPress uses the table prefix “wp_,” which is widely known and often targeted by hackers. AWM changes the database table prefix to something unique, making it more difficult for attackers to guess and exploit your database.
XML-RPC is often an unnecessary feature for many WordPress websites, but it can be exploited by attackers for brute-force or DDoS attacks. AWM disables XML-RPC if it’s not needed, thereby closing another potential vulnerability.
Excessive use of plugins and themes can slow down your website and introduce security risks, especially if those plugins are not regularly updated. AWM helps you limit the number of plugins and themes in use, ensuring that only trusted, necessary tools are active on your site.
Unused plugins and themes often become outdated, opening your website up to security risks. AWM routinely checks for inactive or obsolete plugins and themes, removing them to eliminate potential vulnerabilities.
Incorrect file permissions can make your website vulnerable to unauthorized access or manipulation. AWM reviews and sets the appropriate file permissions, ensuring that sensitive files are protected and only accessible to authorized users.
Hackers often target directories where PHP execution is enabled, injecting malicious code that can compromise your website. AWM disables PHP execution in directories that don’t require it, such as the uploads folder, to prevent such attacks.
AWM enhances your website security by implementing HTTP security headers like X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. These headers help mitigate various types of attacks, including clickjacking, MIME type sniffing, and cross-site scripting.
The wp-config.php file contains critical information about your WordPress installation. AWM takes special precautions to secure this file by moving it to a non-public directory and setting strict access permissions, preventing unauthorized access.
Idle users can become a security risk if their session remains open for too long. AWM implements session management strategies that force users to log out after a period of inactivity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access if a session is left unattended.
AWM conducts regular website security audits to identify any potential vulnerabilities and ensure that all security measures are up to date. These audits help detect issues early, allowing proactive fixes before they can be exploited.
