For instance if someone is trying to log in and gives the wrong username, it's better to have a generic error message that says "wrong username and password combination". This way, you're not providing would-be hackers any clues to guessing the login credentials.
Having the ability to lock a user from trying to log in after too many failed attempts can protect your website as well.
7. Use A SSL Certificate. If your website has a shopping cart system, a membership component, or collects sensitive personal data via online forms, it's always wise to get a SSL certificate installed.
A SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate will protect the data that is being submitted into your website by encrypting it as it travels from the web browser to your web server, making it much harder for hackers to intercept and malign.
Not only does an SSL protect your data but it also invokes a sense of security for your customers when they go to purchase. You will probably lose sales if you don't have an SSL installed.
Additionally, Google gives a small SEO ranking benefit to websites with SSLs installed.
