December 25, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Managed hosting provider and online backup company FireHost, Inc. offers SMBs secure web hosting with application security, it was reported recently. The company offers hosting that provides solutions to issues such as port 80 and 443 vulnerabilities and protects against customers having sensitive data stolen by hackers.
According to FireHost, currently the most common type of attack is the SQL Injection, which hits 16,000 websites a day. These websites are database driven and often of Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, .NET, classic ASP, shopping cart, Community Server, or PHPBB sites.
"While we believe developers should secure their websites and applications as much as possible, it's not reality,” explained FireHost Founder, Chris Drake. “That's why we made it our responsibility to inspect every kilobyte of traffic to and from our customers' sites and enforce policies as needed for our customers and their site visitors' protection."
Based in Dallas, Texas, USA, FireHost, Inc. protects customers from SQL Injections and other types of attacks including Cross Site Scripting, Path Traversal, Bad User Agents, and DOS attacks. Application protection is available for both the company’s managed shared hosting customers and managed dedicated server customers.
"The only true way to test vulnerabilities is to attack the website from within the security zone,” added FireHost Security Engineer, Ken Richardson. “Doing this provides our clients the piece of mind that we're finding their websites' weaknesses". |
