HOW IT WORKS ?

A. Malware Scanning

What is it?
Malware, short for malicious software, can be installed on your website by hackers who are able to find weaknesses on your web server. A typical website may have thousands of potential vulnerabilities for malware injection.

What is the impact?
Once placed on a website, malware can then be used to spread viruses, steal personal or financial data, and even hijack computers. It is not easily detected and may infect your customers' computers after they visit your website. Ultimately, this negatively affects your company's reputation and can result in lost business.

How does SiteLock^® protect me?
SiteLock malware scanning technology reviews all of the files and applications on your website and compares them against industry standards, as well as our proprietary sources, to detect any malware that has been inserted in your website code. If we identify website malware or a virus on your site during your daily SiteLock scans, we will notify you immediately via email. Your SiteLock dashboard will show a list of infected pages, and our Expert Services team can help you remove it so you can maintain your secure reputation.

What can I do about it?
Malware protection prevents hackers from using your website to distribute virus-infected software to your visitors and customers. Use a website scanning service that includes daily malware scanning, such as any of our complete website security solutions (SecureStarter, SecureSpeed^®, SecureSite^®, etc) as well as SiteLock Professional, Premium or Enterprise scanning plans.

B. Application Vulnerability Scanning

What is it?
Application scanning will verify the applications you've installed on your website against known vulnerabilities. As application versions age (like Windows 2000 or WordPress 1.0), hackers will find ways to attack these programs. The publishers then update them with newer versions, which you need to upgrade to in order to stay safe. We verify your version against catalogs of vulnerabilities to ensure you are running safe software on your site.

What is the impact?
Outdated applications are the most popular way for criminals to gain access to your website and data. The impacts of this type of attack are wide-ranging, as it depends a great deal on the type of application. For most web applications, the vulnerabilities are likely to be Cross-Site Scripting or SQL injection.

How does SiteLock^® protect me?
Our scanners identify applications you have installed and which version you have. We compare that to industry and proprietary lists to determine the security of your installation. SiteLock's comprehensive scanning eliminates reports of "false positives" that are not truly dangerous to your business. If we discover a vulnerability in our testing, we report it to you immediately and can help you upgrade your application version and secure your site.

What can I do about it?
Make sure any applications you use are kept up-to-date and limit the use of third-party plug-ins where possible as they can be a source of many issues and may be updated less frequently or created by unscrupulous publishers. Use a website scanning service that includes regular application vulnerability scans including SiteLock Premium or Enterprise, or any of our complete website security solutions SecureSpeed^®or higher.

C. True Code Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

What is it?
TrueCode Static Application Security Testing (SAST), or "white-box" testing, finds common vulnerabilities by performing a deep analysis of your applications without actually executing them. TrueCode analyzes your source code to create a detailed model of the application's interaction with users and sensitive resources (such as your database or your customers). We then identify all paths through the application that represent a potential weakness. For example, if a data path through the application originates from an HTTP Request and flows through the application without validation or sanitization to reach a database query, then this would represent a SQL Injection flaw. We then deliver actionable information that prioritizes flaws according to severity and provides detailed remediation information to help you address them quickly.

What's the impact?
According to Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report, "Web applications remain the proverbial punching bag of the Internet. There's no question about it -- the variety and combination of techniques available to attackers make defending Web applications a complex task."

TrueCode is like having a hacker proofread your code, to point out all the places where a criminal will be able to sneak in once its on your website. Having this full insight into your application can reveal a wider range of bugs and vulnerabilities than the "trial and error" of traditional vulnerability scanners.

How does SiteLock^® protect my website?
SiteLock's TrueCode SAST adds a unique and critical layer of security by protecting your web applications - where 92% of vulnerabilities reside. We have taken what has traditionally been a very expensive service available only to large enterprise businesses, and made it easy and affordable for smaller business owners to access.

What can I do about it?
Check your applications' code for vulnerabilities through an SAST product like TrueCode. TrueCode is available as an add-on to any SiteLock plan.
