ModSecurity is a highly effective web app layer firewall for Apache web servers. It monitors the whole HTTP traffic to an Internet site without affecting its functionality and in case it detects an intrusion attempt, it blocks it. The firewall furthermore keeps a more detailed log for the website visitors than any web server does, so you'll be able to monitor what is happening with your sites much better than if you rely merely on standard logs. ModSecurity works with security rules based on which it stops attacks. For instance, it identifies if someone is attempting to log in to the administrator area of a certain script several times or if a request is sent to execute a file with a certain command. In such cases these attempts trigger the corresponding rules and the firewall program hinders the attempts instantly, and then records in-depth information about them inside its logs. ModSecurity is one of the best software firewalls out there and it can easily protect your web applications against a huge number of threats and vulnerabilities, particularly if you don’t update them or their plugins often.
ModSecurity in Shared Hosting
ModSecurity is supplied with all shared hosting web servers, so if you decide to host your websites with our organization, they will be resistant to an array of attacks. The firewall is turned on as standard for all domains and subdomains, so there shall be nothing you'll have to do on your end. You shall be able to stop ModSecurity for any Internet site if needed, or to activate a detection mode, so that all activity shall be recorded, but the firewall will not take any real action. You shall be able to view detailed logs from your Hepsia Control Panel including the IP where the attack came from, what the attacker planned to do and how ModSecurity addressed the threat. Since we take the safety of our clients' websites seriously, we use a group of commercial rules which we take from one of the top companies which maintain such rules. Our administrators also include custom rules to ensure that your Internet sites will be shielded from as many risks as possible.
