Same way you secure any other pages, using a realm.

And if you're not doing this, you have a rather significant security issue.

Even securing the pages you'll need to trust your authenticated users
and there have been many well known security exploits using AWSTATS,
a trend which seems to continue as it suffers from some bad
programming.
