It is better advised to secure your websites from viruses, hackers, identity theft, SEO blacklists and such other threats. Sitelock uses its TrueShield firewall to keep away the harmful traffic and also, its TrueSpeed technology speeds up your website. This gives a boost to your SEO. Most importantly, what Sitelock does is to scan your website In order to find and fix any existing malware and vulnerabilities.

Website security involves scanning you website for threats such as harmful code or malware. It’s like an alarm system that goes off when it encounters anything that shouldn’t be there. On finding such threats, you will get an alert via email. One step further from this is the SMART tool (Secure Malware Alert & Removal Tool) which removes anything harmful automatically. We examine your website from the inside-out and the outside-in unlike other services that perform surface-level scans alone. So, the vulnerabilities which are likely to harm your business can be detected in advance. TrueShield firewall, which is included in the package, ensures that once your website is scanned and secure, it stays that way.

Malicious software or Malware is used by the hackers to find out the weaknesses of your web server. They install this software on your websites. Typically, a website can have thousands of potential vulnerabilities through which malware can be injected. This malware can then be used to spread viruses, steal personal or financial data, and even hijack computers, once it is placed on the website. This threat cannot be detected easily. The worst part is that it can infect your customers’ computers after they visit your website. Application scans are critical because outdated applications are the most popular means through which criminals gain access to your website and data. Google may blacklist you if it detects malware on your website, thus, tarnishing your reputation as well as SEO ranking. Also, the hosting provider may well take off your site from the web. In short, this problem may result in dire consequences.
