# Protect your store

Online stores are targets for DDoS attacks, credential stuffing, payment fraud, and supply chain script injections. Cloudflare provides layered security — from SSL/TLS encryption and application security managed rulesets to bot detection and client-side script monitoring — that protects your store without adding friction for shoppers.

## Solutions

### SSL/TLS

Encrypt all traffic with free, automatic SSL certificates. [Learn more about SSL/TLS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/).

* **PCI DSS compliance support** \- Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and application security managed rulesets help meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) payment security requirements

### Application security

Get automatic protection from vulnerabilities and create your own custom rules. [Learn more about application security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/).

### DDoS protection

Automatic mitigation of volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks. [Learn more about DDoS protection](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ddos-protection/).

* **HTTP DDoS protection** \- Automatic, always-on mitigation of HTTP flood attacks, cache-busting attacks, and application-layer Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at layer 7\. No configuration required — active on all Cloudflare domains by default

### Bot security

Machine learning powered bot detection with granular control over bot traffic. [Learn more about Bot security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/).

* **Credential stuffing protection** \- ML-powered bot detection blocks automated login and account takeover attacks

### Turnstile

Privacy-preserving CAPTCHA alternative for forms and user interactions. [Learn more about Turnstile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/).

* **Payment form security** \- Privacy-preserving CAPTCHA alternative that protects checkout without adding user friction

### Client-side security

Monitor and control third-party scripts and outbound connections on your pages. [Learn more about Client-side security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/client-side-security/).

* **Supply chain protection** \- Detects malicious scripts injected by compromised third-party vendors (Magecart-style attacks)
