FAQs (People Also Ask)<\/h2>\n
\nOnly if you test restores<\/strong>. Schedule monthly restore drills and keep multiple restore points.<\/p>\n
\nNo WAF is perfect, but it blocks the majority of exploit traffic and buys you time to patch. Pair it with malware scanning and fast updates.<\/p>\n
\nPromise fast recovery<\/strong>, not zero downtime. Define RTO\/RPO in your SLA and meet them.<\/p>\n
\nNot always. Start with solid rDNS and authentication. For stores\/newsletters or strict B2B inboxes, a dedicated IP or transactional service helps.<\/p>\n
