As digital marketers, we live and breathe performance metrics—CTR, bounce rate, conversion rate. But what happens when your beautifully optimized site is taken offline by a botnet, or worse, compromised by an injection attack?
Security may not be your core domain, but in today’s digital landscape, understanding basic website protection is just as critical as understanding SEO.
This is where SafeLine WAF (Web Application Firewall) comes in—a modern, self-hosted, and developer-friendly solution that can help keep your marketing site fast, available, and secure.
Why Marketers Should Care About Website Security
You might think WAFs are for developers and security teams. While that’s mostly true, here’s why you, as a marketer, should care:
- Downtime = Lost Revenue: If attackers bring your site down, paid campaigns go to waste.
- Malware = SEO Disaster: A hacked site often gets flagged or delisted by Google.
- Data Breaches = Brand Damage: Losing user data can permanently hurt trust and conversion rates.
