Monitor and scan my site
You need to know when your site is down or is under attack. Monitoring and scanning software lets you know when there’s something wrong so you can quickly fix it. Think of monitoring and scanning as your website’s digital security guards:
- Monitoring sits outside and looks at the traffic coming from your site. It’ll sound an alarm when there’s something wrong with the traffic or when your site goes down and the traffic stops entirely.
- Scanning sends traffic at your web server and sees if it responds in a way it shouldn’t. It’s effectively yelling, “Is there any malware in there?” and listening for a “Yes!” It’s a simple trick that a surprising amount of malware falls for.
