How would you know whether your website is fully intact and has not been tampered with? Do you have any mechanism in place to detect unauthorized modifications to your website content or configuration?
Website hacking is extremely common. Common targets include websites owned by government agencies, enterprises, financial institutions, e-business, education institutions,
etc. The motives vary from financial gains and competitive sabotage, to technical satisfaction and plain destructive pleasure.
Would you like to be the first to know when your very own website is defaced? Or rather, you would like the embarrassment of being informed by your major client that your website looks funny today?
A firewall is good as a network gateway that controls what network traffic is allowed to pass through it. Firewalls are important to filter unnecessary traffic and some common network-based attacks. However, many web attacks are embedded within the web traffic that is allowed by the firewalls.
That's where WebAlarm comes into the picture
to function as an additional layer of defense against unauthorized data changes. WebAlarm, even though will not prevent the attacks, will immediately detect any successful data change caused by these attacks and will take the necessary actions. WebAlarm is there to clean up the mess when all other preventive measures have failed.
WebAlarm keeps an eye on all your web server data round the clock to ensure that your website is always available and accurate. WebAlarm can monitor any static file on the web server, including all kinds of web content, application scripts, web software and server configuration files. It will scan your website periodically to detect any changes made to your website, whether a file has been modified or deleted, or
a new file has been added without your approval.
Any unauthorized tampering of data will be detected in the shortest possible time and all the relevant stakeholders will be alerted via email, the WebAlarm console or any network management system.
Upon detection of any data tampering, WebAlarm will take immediate action to perform automatic recovery of the website to its original content without any human intervention. This is a unique and fully built-in feature of WebAlarm without requiring any additional scripting or programming.
In addition, WebAlarm supports hot updating of files without interrupting the continuous monitoring process. WebAlarm will continue to monitor all the files while some files are being updated by authorized personnel.
