Malware, short for malicious software, is typically installed on a website by hackers who find weaknesses – also known as vulnerabilities – in a website’s code. Malware can spread viruses, steal personal or financial data and even hijack computers.
SiteLock, the global leader in website security, performs highly advanced scanning across 6 million websites daily to detect malware and vulnerabilities as soon as they hit.
Why SiteLock?
Daily Malware Scan
Your website is scanned daily for signs of malware and links to potentially harmful sites. Get alerts before your users do.
Web Application Scan
Checks your website applications, that they are up-to-date and free from vulnerabilities. This protects you from one of the common methods of hacking.
Vulnerability Scan
Another common vulnerability, cross-site scripting, is also scanned. This way you can protect your visitor’s data from being stolen.
Daily File Scan
SiteLock goes beyond the surface to scan for suspicious files lurking in your directory that provide hackers with access to your website.
SiteLock scans websites from the user’s point of view (“outside-in”) to catch signs of malware before visitors or search engines do. This scan finds malware and links to potentially dangerous sites that could harm or damage the user’s website or computer.
The SiteLock daily file scan goes beyond a website’s surface to identify malicious, suspicious files in its code or web applications. This prevents cyber criminals from using websites to aid in their attacks.
