# How do I protect against malware?

To protect against malware, it's essential to put robust security measures in place, such as **using up-to-date antivirus and anti-malware software, installing regular security updates, educating users on safe online practices, and setting up effective firewalls and spam filters.** It's also recommended to regularly back up important data and avoid clicking on links or downloading files from untrustworthy sources.

At Hodi, **we include WAF, anti-brute-force, and antivirus solutions by default with all our hosting plans, along with blocking malicious bots,** to protect your websites.
