# Best Website Security Software - Page 6

*By [Lauren Worth](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/lauren-worth)*


Website security software is designed to protect business websites from a number of internet-based threats. These tools combine features of distributed denial of service[(DDoS) protection software](https://www.g2.com/categories/ddos-protection), [content delivery networks (CDN)](https://www.g2.com/categories/content-delivery-network-cdn), and web application [firewalls](https://www.g2.com/categories/firewall) (WAF) to create an all-encompassing website protection solution. Companies use these tools to reduce their risk of attack and data theft while ensuring their site is available to the public. The tools also provide application-level [antivirus software](https://www.g2.com/categories/antivirus), malware prevention, and removal tools to reduce the risk of infection.

These website-specific tools share many features with the aforementioned software categories, but must provide some combination of the three to qualify. Website security software’s dynamic approach to cybersecurity is tailored specifically to the website medium.

To qualify for inclusion in the Website Security category, a product must:

- Combine content delivery with application security features
- Secure against DDoS and other similar web-based threats
- Facilitate the remediation of website and application-level malware

### Reflectiz

Reflectiz is the AI-powered web exposure company trusted by hundreds of global organizations, including DAZN, Cox Communications, Village Roadshow, and Leeds United, to continuously monitor everything that executes on their live websites. Rather than scanning code or configuration, Reflectiz watches real browser execution, the actual scripts, pixels, and third and fourth-party tools running in front of your users, and applies AI to flag malicious behavior, unauthorized data flows, and compliance gaps the moment they appear. Reflectiz is built around four hubs that all run on this same engine. Security Hub continuously monitors every script and library executing on your site, catching Magecart-style skimming, supply chain attacks, and AI-generated threats that firewalls and perimeter tools were never built to see. Privacy Hub verifies that user data is only collected and shared the way your consent banner promises, supporting GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. Offensive Hub runs continuous, agentic penetration testing, using AI agents to map applications and validate exploitable risks at up to 10x the capacity of manual pentesting. PCI Module automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 with audit-ready evidence. Together, the four hubs give Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Digital teams one 360-degree view of web risk instead of four disconnected tools and reports. Reflectiz operates entirely remotely through its proprietary sandbox browser, with zero code changes, zero agents, and no access to sensitive data, typically going live within one business day. Its Exposure Rating draws on an intelligence database built from monitoring millions of websites, and the platform has been recognized with a 2026 Fortress Cyber Security Award, a 2025 Top InfoSec Innovator award, and G2 High Performer status. Customers frequently cite fast, hands-off onboarding and responsive support alongside a growing library of published case studies across e-commerce, financial services, and entertainment.
