Comprehensive website security
Catbird delivers state-of-the-art website security through a unique set of ten distinct tests. Using the same techniques the hackers do, Catbird’s swarm of geographically-distributed sensors run these tests continuously against a company’s network and website 24x7, every two minutes, 365 days a year. Without any human intervention, Catbird provides minute-to-minute intelligence on potential weaknesses and anomalous events. Our unparalleled full complement of tests ensure immediate notification of any domain, network or website problem.
What tests are deployed and how do they benefit the security of my site?
Real website security requires continuous monitoring 7X24, 365 days a year, automatically. Periodic auditing cannot possibly meet the dynamic nature website hacking,with constantly-mutating types of attacks.
Catbird provides the most comprehensive, always-on website security solution, comprised of ten separate tests:
- External vulnerability monitoring automatically and continuously audits your external-facing IP addresses,
- Pharming Defense which includes three distinct tests:
- DNS performance and hijacking detects any attempt to reroute traffic through malicious tampering of the internet infrastructure
- Web Site Defacement detects vandalism or spyware attacks on your site
- Secure Certificate (SSL) verification checks the validity of your SSL, thereby also detecting any attempt to reroute traffic
- Top Level Domain (TLD) test verifies that TLD servers are responding with the correct reference to your domain, and watches for any incorrect updates, unauthorized changes, or other errors made to your records.
- Web Site Performance provides a highly detailed analysis about your web site so one can easily analyze and troubleshoot any site performance issues. To identify bottlenecks and perform in-depth analysis and performance trending, Catbird’s web monitor looks at every element of a page–from text, URLs, graphics, and Java applets, to banner ads, CGI scripts, and third-party content.
- Availability monitoring utilizes the ping function to verify that all of a company’s external IPs are up and running. This not only validates the health of individual hosts but ultimately the robustness of the entire network itself, including routes.
- E-mail performance watches the entire email system, including inbound and outbound mail and total propagation time. With the Email Monitor, Catbird customers know their POP and SMTP servers are being closely watched–and that if any errors occur, they can resolve them quickly.
Why website security from Catbird?
Catbird was the pioneer of fully automated security monitoring. Competitors define website security as vulnerability scans. Catbird goes well beyond vulnerability scanning by providing more types of security protection, performed more frequently and at a fraction of the cost of other alternatives. Our comprehensive solution provides ongoing vulnerability protection along with monitoring for pharming/hijacking, identity theft, network intrusions, ecommerce transactions, defacements and outsourced partner performance.
