Discover the vulnerability detection tool
This guide introduces the vulnerability detection tool for your Web Hosting.
Preamble
- There are thousands of cyber threats, and if your website were to be infected, your business could suffer, not only due to its unavailability, but also due to the loss of trust from your visitors and customers.
- The tool offered by Infomaniak is a free and complementary protection to the antivirus that protects all Infomaniak hostings against malware and security vulnerabilities.
How this service works
The tool works in the background to detect potential security issues. These vulnerabilities can allow malicious individuals to alter the content of your sites, which could harm your reputation with your customers and search engines.

Data confidentiality
Like Infomaniak, the tool complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union: analyses are performed locally on Infomaniak's servers. The content or signatures of the scanned files are not transmitted outside the infrastructures.
In accordance with the privacy policy, the data processed is limited to what is strictly necessary and concerns the username, email address, path, and file names, primarily to communicate detections to the customer.
