# 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
