Prevent my site from hackers

[resourcesys]

Hello,

Can you please tell me what all things are needed in order to prevent any CMS site from hackers ?

Ensure the CMS is always up to date, ensure the server it's running on is patched and running a firewall, change the port to SSH, and lock down root access via IP also install a rootkit on the machine.

There is a mountain of sites out there that can give you step by step guides on locking down your machine.

Actually, to prevent your site from hacking, you should become a hacker. Then you can know how to prevent it.
