SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:
GDDY), the world's largest technology provider dedicated to
shifting the global economy toward life-fulfilling independent
ventures, today launched GoDaddy Website Security, a cutting-edge
website protection service to keep customers' sites clean and free
of malware. Website Security is powered by Sucuri, recently
acquired by GoDaddy to further strengthen its security offerings,
and provides world-class malware protection. It pairs powerful,
comprehensive protection with ease of use.
The level of automation used by hackers in their exploits
continues to grow. Networks of infected computers and devices pose
a significant challenge to small businesses, with more than four
percent of all internet traffic now being described as
malicious. Security products need be equally automated and
responsive to the changing environment.
"I can't tell you how many times I've heard, 'why would a hacker
target me? I'm just a small business,'" said Kevin Doerr, Senior Vice President of Security
Products at GoDaddy. "But hackers aren't what you see in the movies
– they now build sophisticated tools that hunt for known
vulnerabilities on any website. Instead of breaking into one car,
this is like a group of robots checking a parking lot of cars for
unlocked doors. Websites owned by small businesses are far from
impervious to this, although they may not have the preventative
resources available to larger companies. We believe
enterprise-grade security should be available to everyone, and
that's what we're bringing to our customers with GoDaddy Website
Security."
Website Security offers continuous monitoring and daily malware
scanning to detect any known security holes or issues on a website.
If a website is infected by malware, GoDaddy's Website Security
guarantees fast response time, malware removal, and blacklist
removal. Website Security premium plans add a second layer of
protection, including a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that blocks
malicious traffic before it gets to the website.
Key features and benefits include:
- Guaranteed malware removal and hack repair: All Website
Security products are backed by an army of talented security
analysts who will not stop until the sites are 100 percent
clean.
- Expedited service for emergency cleanup: Website
Security Express provides superfast malware removal service by
security experts who will respond and fix the problems within 30
minutes of receiving a cleanup request.
- Continuous security monitoring: Offers proactive
protection with daily scans and immediate alerts in case anything
unusual is detected – unlimited malware cleanups are also included
at no extra charge.
- Google blacklist monitoring and removal: Website
Security monitors a number of blacklists such as Google, Norton,
and McAfee to ensure your company's reputation is protected. If a
site is blacklisted, our security analysts will perform a complete
malware and blacklist removal.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection: Blocks
malware from penetrating websites, and prevents malware reinfection
after an attack so your site remains secure and safe.
- Content Delivery Network (CDN) accelerator: Global
business sites can benefit from CDN to boost site speed and
performance to ensure that pages load quickly, no matter where in
the world customers are located.
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation: Attacks
such as an HTTPS Flood Attack and DNS Amplification DoS Attack can
bring down a website by overwhelming it with a flood of automated
traffic. Our advanced security monitoring and Web Application
Firewall (WAF) prevents these types of attacks before they
occur.
GoDaddy's Website Security products are available starting at
$6.99 per month.
