Keeping your websites secure

Cyber attacks can happen at any time, and often when you least expect them. At NaNet Websites Ltd, we believe security isn’t something you think about after a problem arises, it’s something you build in from the start, monitor continuously, and respond to quickly when needed. This mindset was recently put to the test, and we’re pleased to say our preparation paid off.

One of the websites we manage experienced a period of highly unusual activity that strongly suggested a potential attack was underway. Rather than wait and see, our team moved swiftly to investigate, mitigate any risks, and make sure the website remained fully functional. Throughout the incident, customers were still able to browse, place orders, and use the site as normal – and many never knew anything was happening in the background.

In situations like this, it’s essential to act quickly but calmly. Our systems are designed to be flexible and responsive, and because our team is experienced in spotting and handling unusual behaviour we were able to take action without causing downtime or confusion. It’s not about flashy solutions or dramatic interventions, it’s about having the right people, tools, and habits in place before an issue occurs.

While our methods for security and how we prevented this attack will remain a secret, after all, it wouldn’t be very secure if we told all, we can say that our approach is always based on real-world experience, careful monitoring, and regular testing. In this case, several smart adjustments were made behind the scenes that quickly reduced pressure on the server and helped keep everything running smoothly.

We’re proud of how our team handled the situation and even more proud that our clients didn’t have to worry. Incidents like this are a reminder that security isn’t just about having the latest tools, it’s about vigilance, experience, and thoughtful action.

If you’re running a website and want peace of mind that it’s being properly protected, we’d love to help. For a website secure from online threats with solid reliable backups get in touch with us today.
