Monitor and strengthen your website security

Automated, comprehensive website scanning

Automatic scans look for potential threats on your websites including compromised hosting and IP information, spam and injected malware, outdated software or vulnerable plug-ins and extensions, server errors, blacklist status, and more. Additionally, blocklisting helps identify if your website domain(s) have been flagged as malicious, while whitelisting works to ensure optimal scanning performance.

Detailed reporting and recommendations

Automated reporting presents website risk scoring, vulnerabilities found, and recommendations for improvement.

How does it work?

Simply add the website domain(s) you’d like scanned and get automated monthly reports (ad hoc reporting is also available). Whitelist Defendify’s website scanner to ensure scans are completed without blocking from security devices (e.g. firewall, WAF). Website scanning is recommended to run regularly with a minimum cadence of monthly reporting.

Welcome to Defendify! The all-in-one cybersecurity platform. With Defendify’s website scanning you will be able to discover problems that your website might have which could lead to a compromise. Defendify produces a report monthly answering the questions is there spam or malware present, is the website blacklisted, are there any malicious redirects, is the website up to date with patches? Receiving a website scan report from Defendify will help you identify security issues with your website.

This is just one of the modules under our Layered Security approach that work together to give you holistic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of your questions might have already been answered. Read them here.

A website security scanner is a tool that can be deployed to scan your website domain(s) for a variety of potential security gaps including:

  • Compromised hosting and IP information
  • All IP addresses found and associated with your website domain(s)
  • Spam and injected malware
  • Outdated software such as an outdated content management system or vulnerable plugins and extensions
  • Internal server errors
  • Blacklist status on Google, PhishTank, etc.
  • Certificate issues

A website security scanner is not the same as a vulnerability scanner. A website security scanner is a good fit for most general-use marketing websites, whereas a vulnerability scanner is better suited to things like web applications.

Cybercriminals are known to build bots designed to automatically search the internet for websites with weak or outdated security measures. As a result, we recommend running a website scan at least monthly, or as soon as you detect suspicious activity.

What Does a Zero-day Vulnerability Mean and How to Stay Protected? 

Many cyberattacks originate from zero-day vulnerabilities, as they can become a race between threat actors attempting to exploit the flaw and manufacturers releasing a patch or users applying mitigating techniques.
