You should do the following steps to ensure your website is safe:

Managment System (CMS), scripts and plugins up-to-date.
– If it’s possible, install security plugins such as Wordfence plugin for WordPress.–
Download plugins, themes and scripts from trusted sources.–
Make sure that the website code is secure (all the inputs has been well filtered) to prevent web application attacks like
SQL injection, XSS, etc.

Hide admin pages and change the main URL of it. For example,
WordPress main admin page is “wp-admin”, you can change it to any unknown name.–
