Web Security Suite 101: Key Features Explained
Managing your website's security doesn’t have to be complicated. The EuroDNS Web Security Suite simplifies protection with features like automated malware scanning, a global CDN, and real-time firewall monitoring and automated backups. This guide explains how each tool works to protect your site while keeping everything easy to manage, even for those with minimal technical experience.
The growing cyber threat to SMBs
In today’s fast-paced digital world, cyberattacks are no longer confined to large corporations. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have increasingly become prime targets for cybercriminals due to their limited resources, budget constraints, and reliance on fragmented security tools. Recent statistics reveal that 94% of SMBs have experienced a cybersecurity incident at least once, and 1 in 10 report a breach every year. Unfortunately, 60% of SMBs shut down within six months of a major cyberattack, underscoring the need for robust, affordable, and simple solutions.
Cybercriminals use sophisticated techniques, from malware and DDoS attacks to OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). For businesses, the cost of inaction can result in financial losses, legal fines, and irreparable brand damage.
Given these growing challenges, EuroDNS is bringing Web Security Suite in partnership with Nusec, a streamlined and scalable platform to protect your business against today’s threats without complexity.
A comprehensive protection for your website
Our goal is to help small businesses defend against modern cyber threats like malware, data breaches, and DDoS attacks. With 24/7 monitoring and automated tools, our suite safeguards your website from evolving threats, ensuring that you stay ahead of cyber-attacks.
From detecting malware before it infiltrates to filtering out harmful traffic and automatically backing up your data, the suite is built to offer seamless, round-the-clock protection.
It gives you peace of mind knowing that your website is safeguarded against malicious activities, allowing you to focus on your business, not on potential threats.
Key Features
Below, we break down the essential tools within our web security suite and how they help safeguard your business.
1. Malware scanning & removal
Our malware scanning and removal features are designed to detect and eliminate malware before it causes harm, ensuring your website remains secure and functional.
There are three layers of scanning to detect and remove malicious code:
1. Website Scanner
- Scans the front end for missing security headers, SSL errors, and public-facing vulnerabilities.
- Ensures your website isn’t blacklisted by search engines.
- Ideal for on-demand scans that don’t require configuration.
2. Server-Side Scanner
- Inspects backend files and code to detect malware, security misconfigurations, and unauthorized changes.
- Monitors for backdoors or harmful scripts that hackers might use to infiltrate your systems.
3. CMS Vulnerability Scanner
- Designed for CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
- Checks for outdated software, misconfigurations, and exploitable plugins or themes.
- Keeps your site secure by identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do.
4. OWASP Top 10 Vulnerability Scanning
We also provide automated scans based on the OWASP Top 10 framework, covering the most critical risks like SQL injection, XSS, and broken authentication. These scans are available on-demand or as scheduled tasks.
5. Malware removal
Once malware is detected, our automated malware removal system works to:
- Isolate the threat: Malware is identified and quarantined to prevent its further spread.
- Safely remove the malicious code: Removes harmful scripts, unauthorised code injections, and any backdoors that attackers may have placed in your system.
- Continue monitoring post-removal: After the successful removal of malware, your site is continuouslymonitored for any residual threats or attempts to reintroduce malicious code.
The Malware scan dashboard allows you to check:
History: View a log of past malware scans, including dates and outcomes, to track your site's security over time.
Reports: Generate detailed reports on malware activity and removal actions for a complete overview of your website’s security.
2. Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Our Content Delivery Network (CDN) ensures your website remains fast, responsive, and protected against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, providing seamless performance and security.
Here's how our CDN works:
- Global network of servers: Your website’s files are distributed across our global network of servers. Visitors receive content from the nearest server, ensuring optimal speed and performance.
- Mitigate DDoS attacks: By balancing traffic across multiple servers, our CDN reduces the impact of malicious traffic spikes and keeps your site online during attacks.
- 24/7 uptime and load balancing: Intelligent traffic management ensures your website remains accessible even during peak traffic periods.
- Mobile optimisation: Stops outdated versions from being served to mobile users, improving the browsing experience across all devices.
- SEO benefits: Faster load times result in higher search engine rankings and better user engagement.
The CDN dashboard provides real-time insights into:
- Traffic by location: Understand where your audience is coming from and how much bandwidth is consumed at each edge location.
- Status codes: Identify server responses to pinpoint potential issues with content delivery.
- Usage statistics: Track the volume of content delivered over time to optimise performance and costs.
3. Web Application Firewall (WAF)
The Web Application Firewall (WAF) acts as your first line of defense, filtering and blocking malicious traffic before it can reach your website. With predefined security rules, our WAF protects against:
- SQL injection: Prevents attackers from inserting malicious code into your databases.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Blocks malicious scripts that could compromise your users’ data or sessions.
- Brute force attacks: Detects and prevents repeated login attempts to keep unauthorized users out.
- Protocol violations and bots: Identifies and blocks non-standard requests and automated bots.
How WAF works with SIEM and SOC
WAF integrates with SIEM and SOC systems to enhance threat detection and response:
- WAF: Monitors and filters web traffic in real-time.
- SIEM (Security Information and Event Management): Collects and analyzes data from the WAF, identifying patterns and anomalies.
- SOC (Security Operations Center): Our cybersecurity experts use SIEM insights to monitor threats 24/7 and respond quickly to incidents.
Customisable WAF rules:
Our WAF allows you to define security policies based on your business needs. Examples include:
- Generic protection: Defends against common vulnerabilities.
- DDoS protection: Blocks traffic surges to maintain uptime.
- Bot detection: Identifies and prevents bots from scraping data or performing brute force attacks.
- Platform-specific rules: We offer specialised protection for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and other platforms.
4. Automated Backups
Our automated backup system ensures your website’s data is always secure, with regular backups stored in the cloud to safeguard against data loss and downtime.
- Regular Backups: We create automated backups to ensure that your website data is safe.
- Quick Recovery: If your website experiences downtime or data loss due to a cyberattack, you can restore your site with one-click recovery.
- Peace of Mind: Backups run in the background, so you never have to worry about missing critical data.
Here’s what you can do in the Backup dashboard:
- Monitor backup statuses: Stay updated on the current state of backups, including progress and any changes made to your website data.
- Review backup history: Access a complete log of previous backups to track when and what data was backed up.
- Restore with ease: Quickly restore all files or specific data with just one click, ensuring fast recovery from any cyber incident or data loss.
5. Web Security Dashboard
Our web security dashboard provides you with complete control over your website’s security.
Key features include:
- Live status updates: Get real-time alerts and reports on security events.
- Scheduled Scans: Set up automated scans to check for vulnerabilities regularly.
- Detailed Notifications: Receive alerts on emerging threats and vulnerabilities so you can act quickly.
