ModSecurity firewall is now implemented for all VPS customers of iClickAndHost

We are happy to announce a new enhancement part of our commitment for better security of our web hosting environment.The ModSecurity layer has proven to be very effective in protecting our cloud web hosting environment. Now the ModSecurity protection layer is also available for all VPS servers!

What is ModSecurity?

The ModSecurity Apache plugin is a great firewall that minimizes the number of hack attacks to websites and web applications.

It acts as an application-layer firewall and is able to effectively prevent most brute force/ URL forgery attacks and forum spamming attempts targeted at sites.

How does ModSecurity work?

In recent years over 70% of all hacker attacks are carried out at the web application level and being a web application firewall (WAF) itself, ModSecurity effectively addresses this problem.

Its purpose is to establish an external security layer, which allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis, and it offers a powerful API for implementing the advanced protection needed.

This way, the firewall ensures an enhanced level of security, where the malicious attacks are detected and prevented before they reach the web applications.

ModSecurity enabled by default on all iClickAndHost VPSs

The ModSecurity firewall is enabled by default on your VPS, so you don’t have to configure anything in order to have your websites protected.

ModSecurity is running in a blocking mode, so it will automatically block all incoming requests that are flagged as insecure according to the commercial rules at http://www.atomicorp.com.

You can access the ModSecurity section in the Hepsia Control Panel from the newly added shortcut on the Control Panel’s home page or from the Advanced drop-down menу.
