  1. Keep your local system up to date using latest anti-virus, anti-trojan, anti-rootkits softwares. Since viruses may come from your local machine to server when you do FTP.

  2. Avoid assigning 777 permissions to files and folders.

  3. Always upgrade to latest versions available for any third party installed scripts or components.

  4. Install anit-virus software in your server like clamAV. For firwall CSF is a good option.

You should enable suPHP and suhosin that will protect your sites from various php vulnerable codes to be executed on the server. Also, it is always recommend to have third party firewall like csf or apf installed on the server. Also, you can disable few php function to be executed on the server like exec () etc etc which could cause to get access to your php codes. There are many aspects can be considered in order to secure your server which is not limited to. :slight_smile:
