US044 As a Security Engineer, I want to add modules or plugins, so I can enhance the PrestaShop webstore security.

Description:

Adding security modules helps ensure that the webstore is protected against common attacks like bots, brute-force login attempts, or data breaches. This increases the customer’s trust in the service, knowing that their personal and payment information is handled securely.

Security must be built into the system from the development phase onward. Installing and configuring appropriate security modules early helps prevent vulnerabilities, reduces attack surfaces, and ensures the system meets basic security requirements without relying solely on manual controls later.
