How it Works ?

Scans Daily

SiteLock screens every aspect of your web presence daily to identify security gaps. It not only checks your website, email and applications, but also search engine blacklists and spam filters.

• Website Files

  SiteLock uses outside-in and inside-out FTP scans to screen all your files daily and identify security loopholes or malware injections. It not only identifies threats, but also fixes them instantly before they can hurt your web presence.

• Emails

  SiteLock will check if your website or servers are sending or referenced in spam emails. If your are caught by spam filters, many email programs will ignore mails sent by your site, which means that you will not be able to reach your customers.

  With SiteLock's deep FTP scans, you will be instantly alerted of any changes that have been made to your files, so that you can stay on top of all activity happening on your website and catch unauthorized edits before they cause any damage.

• Applications

  SiteLock scans all applications like blogs, shopping carts etc. for known vulnerabilities, which hackers exploit to attack your website. SiteLock will alert you of these gaps and inform you of upgrades to ensure your are running safe software on your site.

• Visitor Traffic

  SiteLock's TrueShield Firewall creates a force field around your website and uses a global network to identify malicious traffic, block bot attacks and protect your content from being "scraped", while ensuring search engine accessibility.

Identifies Threats

SiteLock's 360 degree scan and powerful firewall identify advanced vulnerabilities before they can be exploited to damage your web presence, thus putting you one step ahead of hackers, always!

• SQL Injections (SQL-I)

  Hackers can gain access to your database and steal customer information, including email addresses, passwords, credit card data etc. by inserting SQL commands in your website's input forms and running codes that you don't intend to.

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

  XSS flaws occur due to improper validation. Attackers exploit common client-side scripts like JavaScript and HTML and execute code in the victim's browser which can hijack user sessions, deface sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.

• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

  This attack forces a victim's browser to send forged HTTP requests, including the session cookie and other authentication information, to a vulnerable web application. This allows hackers to force the victim's browser to make requests which trick the application into believing that they are legitimate.

• Remote File Includes (RFI)

  Attackers upload a custom coded, malicious file on a website or server using a script. The vulnerability exploits the poor validation checks in websites and can eventually lead to unintended code execution on the server or website.

• Broken Authentication and Session Management

  Often, application functions related to authentication and session management are not implemented correctly, allowing hackers to steal passwords, keys, tokens, or exploit other implementation flaws to assume users' identities.

• Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards

  Due to improper validation, websites often redirect users to other pages using untrusted data to determine the destination. This allows attackers to redirect victims to phishing or malware sites, or use forwards to access unauthorized pages.
