What is the TrueShield Firewall, and how does it protect my website?

The TrueShield Firewall provided by SiteLock is a powerful security mechanism that acts as a barrier between your website and potential threats.

How does SiteLock's SQL Injection & XSS scan protect my website?

SiteLock's SQL Injection & XSS scan examines your website's code and database for vulnerabilities related to SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). These are common attack vectors used by hackers to compromise websites and steal sensitive data. By identifying and notifying you about these vulnerabilities, SiteLock helps protect your website from potential attacks.

The SQL Injection scan analyzes your website's database queries and ensures they are secure and resistant to SQL injection attacks. It checks for proper input sanitization and parameterization techniques to prevent attackers from injecting malicious SQL code into your database.

The XSS scan focuses on identifying vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into your web pages, which can be executed by unsuspecting visitors. SiteLock's scan examines your website's code and detects any potential XSS vulnerabilities, helping you mitigate the risk of cross-site scripting attacks.

By regularly scanning for SQL Injection and XSS vulnerabilities, SiteLock helps you identify and address these security weaknesses proactively. This reduces the likelihood of successful attacks, protects your website's integrity, and safeguards your visitors' sensitive information.

I have an SSL Certificate, so why do I need SiteLock?

While an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate encrypts the communication between your website and its visitors, SiteLock offers additional layers of security that complement the benefits of an SSL certificate. Here's why SiteLock is still essential, even if you have an SSL certificate:

• Protection against malware
• Comprehensive vulnerability scanning
• Protection from hacking attempts
• Reputation management
• Compliance requirements

In summary, while an SSL certificate is crucial for encrypting data transmission, SiteLock offers comprehensive website security features that go beyond encryption. It protects against malware, scans for vulnerabilities, safeguards against hacking attempts, preserves your website's reputation, and helps meet compliance requirements. By combining an SSL certificate with SiteLock, you can ensure a robust and multi-layered security posture for your website and visitors.
