Website Security with Rise Local: Protecting Your Online Presence

A secure website is essential for your business. It protects valuable customer data, supports your brand reputation, and drives revenue. Without proper security measures, your site risks malware attacks, data breaches, and performance issues.

At Rise Local, we offer managed WordPress hosting with top security tools and practices to ensure your site stays secure, fast, and reliable.

Our Stack of Security Tools and Systems

We utilize industry-leading technologies to provide unmatched security for your WordPress site. Here’s how our stack works to keep your business safe:

CloudLinux OS
CloudLinux isolates each website on our server, ensuring that issues with one site don’t affect others. This provides enhanced server stability and prevents vulnerabilities from spreading across accounts.

Imunify360 Security Suite
We deploy Imunify360, an advanced AI-powered security solution, to protect your website from threats. Key features include:

• Malware Scanning and Removal: Automated detection and removal of malicious files.
• Web Application Firewall (WAF): Blocks common web attacks, such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting.
• Proactive Defense: Identifies and mitigates threats before they can harm your site.

Hardened PHP
Outdated PHP versions are a common entry point for hackers. With Hardened PHP, we apply security patches to older PHP versions, allowing your site to remain functional and secure, even if legacy systems are in use.

LiteSpeed Cache
While primarily a performance tool, LiteSpeed Cache also contributes to security by handling requests efficiently, reducing the risk of DDoS attacks. It integrates seamlessly with WordPress to optimize and protect your site.

SSL Certificates
Every site we host is equipped with an SSL certificate, encrypting data between your website and visitors. This protects sensitive information, such as customer details and payment data, and helps improve search engine rankings.

The Importance of Managed WordPress Hosting

Managed WordPress hosting goes beyond basic hosting services by actively managing the security, updates, and performance of your site. Here’s why it’s critical for business owners:

Automatic Updates
With managed WordPress, we handle core updates, plugin updates, and theme updates to ensure your site is always running the latest and most secure versions.

Regular Backups
Our hosting stack includes daily backups, so your website data is always recoverable in the event of a breach or accidental loss.

24/7 Monitoring
Our systems continuously monitor your site for suspicious activity and vulnerabilities, providing real-time protection and peace of mind.

Expert Support
If a security issue arises, our team is on hand to resolve it quickly. We take care of malware removal, patch vulnerabilities, and ensure your site is back online with minimal disruption.
