In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable Form Protection on your site. This feature will create spam protection within contact forms on your site. This is a standard reCAPTCHA protection.
Premium Site Security service can be purchased with premium service packages (from Limited to Business), but not without a purchased package.
Form protection feature is part of the Premium Site Security add-on service, which also includes IP Filters and Malware Scanning.
More information on purchasing this service can be found directly in the article How to purchase Premium Site Security.

reCAPTCHA v2: The most common spam protection that adds an "I'm not a robot" checkbox to the form and therefore requires one additional user action. If users' cookies are empty or suspicious, an image-based bot test will follow (typically, for example, click on all cars).
Status: Here you can turn security off or on without deleting it from the list completely.
4. Complete the creation with the Save button.
