\u201cOur website means everything to our business,\u201d says Vicki Berry, co-owner of Essentially Natural, an online retailer specialising in all-natural beauty, grooming and wellness products.\u201cWe provide an easy and trusted shopping experience for thousands of eco-conscious South Africans, with our website as our exclusive means of doing business. It\u2019s where we sell our products, yes, but it\u2019s also where we connect and engage with our customers, who benefit from the resources, advice, e-books and recipes that we provide,\u201d explains Vicki.<\/p>\n
With such a vital online presence, it was essential to choose the right hosting provider and the right security solution. \u201cChoosing xneelo as our hosting partner was an easy decision to make when we were pursuing an online platform and shopping cart in 2014,\u201d explains Vicki. \u201cFor many years, I\u2019ve relied on the trusted and informed support from what I believe is the best in local hosting.\u201d<\/p>\n
The peace of mind that Vicki has always felt from xneelo is now mirrored in the xneelo-endorsed Cloudbric firewall. While xneelo remains responsible for the uptime and security of its network and servers, Cloudbric WAF is able to meet the need of website-level security. An added layer of protection, especially if your website gathers customer data, or if you use a payment platform. Cloudbric WAF acts as a preventative measure, guarding your website against hackers that look for ways to exploit weaknesses in your website\u2019s code.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be frank,\u201d says Vicki, \u201cI pay attention to products and services that xneelo advocates and includes as part of their offering. I know they\u2019ve done their homework! Coincidentally, at around the time we were considering Cloudbric WAF, we were seeing a high rate of spam attacks, and so trying the service was a no-brainer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSpambots are a headache,\u201d explains Vicki. \u201cWe felt caught off-guard by the level of attacks, given that we are still a small, local business with good systems in place. Thanks to the Cloudbric WAF dashboard, we\u2019re more informed about security events that we\u2019re exposed to, and that are being repelled by Cloudbric WAF.\u201d<\/p>\n
Essentially Natural links thousands of conscious consumers with the best natural ingredients and other honest products which are genuinely good for their health and have a low impact on the environment. They give their customers control over what they put in and on their bodies and into the environment. All on one platform, and conveniently delivered to their door.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs an e-tailer, online security and the protection of our customer data is of the utmost importance to us. That\u2019s why Cloudbric WAF seemed necessary, as it provides an added layer of defence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false,"plain":" A secure website \u201cOur website means everything to our business,\u201d says Vicki Berry, co-owner of Essentially Natural, an online retailer …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5361,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"lsx_disable_title":"0","_searchwp_excluded":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1521],"tags":[],"content_group":[6390,6396],"class_list":["post-5334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-customer-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA secure website<\/h2>\n\u201cOur website means everything to our business,\u201d says Vicki Berry, co-owner of Essentially Natural, an online retailer specialising in all-natural beauty, grooming and wellness products.\u201cWe provide an easy and trusted shopping experience for thousands of eco-conscious South Africans, with our website as our exclusive means of doing business.
