This guide presents the vulnerability detection tool for your Web Hosting.

Introduction

• 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 hosting against malware and security vulnerabilities.

How this service works

The tool works behind the scenes to detect potential security issues. These vulnerabilities can allow malicious individuals to alter the content of your sites, which would harm your reputation with your clients and search engines.

If you do not take any action within 7 days of detection, the tool automatically corrects security vulnerabilities in the majority of CMS and/or quarantines malicious software without affecting the proper functioning of your sites.

If needed, it is possible to…

• … cancel a security correction
• … completely disable the detection service

Following detection by the tool, it is also recommended to check your entire hosting if you notice suspicious file modifications that the protection may not have detected automatically.

A second tab allows you to analyze and display outdated applications and extensions on your hosting:

Data Privacy

Like Infomaniak, the tool is compliant and respects the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union: the analyses are performed locally on Infomaniak's servers. The content or signatures of the scanned files are not transmitted outside of the infrastructures.

In accordance with the privacy policy, the data processed is limited to the strictly necessary and concerns the username, email address, path as well as the name of the files, mainly in order to be able to communicate the detections to the client.
