How does ec protect my website?

As one of the best and most preferred hosting providers on the market, we use Siteground as a hosting partner, they know how important security is for our customers.

This is why server security is one of our top priorities. Here is just a small part of the measures we have taken to keep our servers and your websites secure.

• By default, we have set all servers to use the latest PHP 7 version with the latest security fixes.
• We are running Apache in a chrooted environment with suExec.
• We have sophisticated IDS/IPS systems which block malicious bots and attackers (Intrusion detection/prevention systems).
• We are using a custom-built in-house nginx security module that scans incoming requests and protects our customers from the most common attacks.
• We are providing easy to use and hassle-free auto-updates for WordPress core version and the plugins.
• We strive to keep the versions of all the software that is providing database services (FTP, SMTP, IMAP/POP3, HTTP, HTTPS) up to date with the latest security patches.
• We are constantly monitoring for vulnerabilities in the most popular applications and modules and whenever possible we develop virtual patches in the form of WAF rules (Web application firewall).
• We ensure that users’ data is accessed only by trusted personnel on request by following strict policies and we keep detailed records for such access.
• Unfortunately, the above is not always enough. Most web applications require constant attention and updates to remain safe from the latest security vulnerabilities.
