website defacement detector
Website defacement is a serious problem. Although the most common defacements occur due to exploits of publicly available forum, bulletin board, and shopping cart programs, hackers still manage to deface, hack, and materially change websites that don't use such publicly available, constantly exploited, source code. And, disgruntled employees deciding to make a statement through your corporate website also occurs more than it should. Hackers and defacement problems like these lead not only to technical problems, but serious reputation, branding, and customer relations issues. UV Uptime offers a way to help prevent website defacement. Our Defacement Detector feature provides early detection for all of these unfortunate instances of website defacement..
Why it works
Our Defacement Detector enables you to be the first, or realistically second, to know if your website has been defaced, hacked, or materially changed. Few businesses take any measures for early detection in the rare event that a hack, defacement, or unauthorized material change occurs. Yet, these same businesses usually carry insurance on their property in the case of tornado, earthquake, or power surge. The way viruses, worms, and hackers have been swelling the Internet in the last few years, hacks are much more likely occurrences than natural disasters. Defacement Detector is invaluable to protecting your corporate reputation and interests through early detection of material changes to your website.
How website defacement protection works
In more technical terms, each time UV Uptime performs a check on your website the Defacement Detector generates a unique value derived from the complete content of the monitored URL. If the unique value is different than what we have on file, we notify you immediately providing you ample time to fix the problem. Defacement Detector is only available for Enterprise level URLs.
The Defacement Detector is a lot like insurance. Ideally you'll never need it, but if something terrible happens you'll be glad you had it.
