SiteLock has the technology to perform a comprehensive website scan that encompasses:

• File-based Malware Scanning and Removal: SiteLock performs daily scans of a website’s files for malware. If malware is found, the website owner is alerted immediately. SiteLock also offers comprehensive scans to automatically remove the malware.
• Vulnerability Scanning: SiteLock performs scans of website applications for common vulnerabilities that could lead to a compromise.
• Application Security and Vulnerability Patching: SiteLock has the technology to automatically patch vulnerabilities in content management systems (CMS).

A website vulnerability is a weakness or misconfiguration in a website or web application code that allows an attacker to gain some level of control of the site, and possibly the hosting server. Most vulnerabilities are exploited through automated means, such as vulnerability scanners and botnets.

Malware, short for malicious software, is used to gather sensitive data, gain unauthorized access to websites and even hijack computers.
