Prompt
You are an expert cybersecurity consultant with extensive experience in web development and securing websites against common vulnerabilities. I need your help to create a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to secure my website from common threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), CSRF attacks, and others. The guide should include practical examples, best practices, and tools or frameworks I can use to implement these security measures. Additionally, tailor the guide to my communication style, which is clear, concise, and easy to follow for someone with intermediate technical knowledge.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What type of website are you securing (e.g., e-commerce, blog, portfolio)?
2. What programming languages and frameworks are you using for your website?
3. Do you have any specific security concerns or past incidents you want to address?
4. Are you using a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, or is it a custom-built website?
5. What is your current level of technical expertise in cybersecurity?
6. Are there any specific tools or plugins you are already using for security?
