QuadraShield: Multi-layered security built-in at every level

Security is vitally important to ensure a reliable system and assist in keeping the nasties out so that the performance can be consumed by real visitors – your customers!

QuadraShield is a 4-point process designed to ensure ultimate protection by blocking malicious activity. It all happens live and in the background with dedicated systems focused solely on security:

1. QuadraShield WAF: A custom Web Application Firewall which contains thousands of attack vector signatures, updated hourly. It works by inspecting every single request to your site and blocking anything that’s an attack vector, malware or probing attack.
2. Malware Scanning: This is done both actively for all uploads and deep scans run nightly. Looking for malware signatures and automatically disabling them before they can cause any damage. We use no less than three different commercial and community malware scanners in order to maximise the chances of protecting against new threats as soon as possible.
3. Monitoring: A suite of custom security sentries monitor activity on the web servers, flagging anything suspicious for our support and systems team to check over manually. This includes permission changes, changes to .htaccess and index.php files – often preventative more than reactive as the Malware and WAF will handle the vast majority of issues.
4. Recovery Assistance: Should something slip through the net, we offer full restore and recovery services free of charge – so you don’t have to worry about the complexity of disinfecting a hacked or broken site (or if you manually mess things up somewhere!)
