What is SiteLock

SiteLock Security is crucial in safeguarding websites by proactively defending against potential threats. With SiteLock Security, your website is equipped with a robust shield, protecting against cyber threats like: 

• Automatic Malware Removal: SiteLock automatically scans and removes malware from your website's files (code, scripts, images, etc.) – a key feature not included in the Essentials plan. Higher tiers (Prevent and Prevent Plus) extend this protection to your database as well, safeguarding essential information like customer data or login credentials. To know more about malware, please visit the Malware FAQ. 
• Brand Reputation Protection: Your brand's online reputation is invaluable. SiteLock Security helps protect this by preventing attacks that could compromise your website and, by extension, your brand. This includes safeguarding against phishing attempts, backdoor file hacks, and other malicious activities that could tarnish your brand's reputation.
• Defense Against Malicious Attacks: Cyber threats are ever-evolving, but so is SiteLock Security. It offers comprehensive defense mechanisms against various malicious attacks, including DDoS attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more. By fortifying your website with SiteLock Security, you're not just protecting your data and customers but also ensuring your website's continuous availability and integrity.
