Aside from DDoS attacks, what kinds of evil awaits a web service

I need a web service to remain secret and would use CloudFare or a similar technology to prevent DDoS attacks. Aside from DDoS, what other types of attacks are possible?

I assume my web service domain would be totally hidden, but need to be sure there is no other known threat to it.

Thanks

Thanks for the tool. Assuming I used that tool to reveal exposures, can they all be resolved through instituting best practices?

Are there any which do not yet have an answer?

I have not built the site yet :)

I am researching to see if my business idea has viability...

I plan to be more secure than banks.

When's the last time you heard of a bank having a security vulnerability that was exploited?
