Managed Anti-Virus Protection
Protection for your secure server and the files hosted within it
Antivirus software helps keep web servers protected by matching unknown, suspicious, and changed files on the server against the latest virus, malware, or spyware definitions to see if the file poses a threat. The AV software's role is to destroy or quarantine any suspicious file that meets criteria spelled out in the threat directory before it has a chance to infiltrate your virtual server or cause harm to any other documents or applications residing there.
FireHost's managed antivirus solution ensures that your server is fully protected by monitoring your servers for virus activity and verifying your virus definitions are constantly up-to-date.
Managed antivirus software and website vulnerability monitoring work in tandem. Each security solution provides a unique benefit, and neither should be seen as a replacement for the other.
Think of it like this:
- Antivirus software focuses on keeping the server and files that reside on it secure.
- Anti-virus is a basic, necessity that must be installed on every secure server hosting private information regulated by PCI compliance or HIPAA compliance.
- Website vulnerability monitoring scans web applications for holes thru which hackers can harm your site users.
- Website vulnerability monitoring is a public-facing, protective measure that includes a security seal intended to be displayed prominently to give your website users confidence with each visit.
To summarize the difference, website vulnerability monitoring (WVM) focuses on protecting the users of the web site from being infected and giving visitors confidence about the safety of your web application. Managed antivirus software protects the site owners and administrators from malicious activities of hackers.
