BitNinja’s Automatic Website Security and Server Protection

In the age of digitalisation, websites serve as crucial gateways to businesses, services, and information. However, they also stand as prime targets for cyber threats, ranging from data breaches to malware injections. As the battle between security and vulnerability escalates, an innovative solution has emerged: BitNinja’s Automatic Website Security. 

In this blog post, we explore the world of automated website security and how BitNinja is revolutionising how we protect our online platforms.

The Rise of Automated Website Security

Manual security processes are no longer sufficient to safeguard modern websites against cyber risks. Now, automated security solutions like BitNinja have stepped in. Instead of relying solely on human intervention, BitNinja’s cutting-edge technology combines AI-driven intelligence and real-time monitoring to protect websites from threats. It provides new peace of mind for website owners and administrators.

Key Features of BitNinja’s Automatic Website Security

Virtual Patching

The virtual patching feature identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities within a website’s code without requiring manual intervention. It bridges the gap between identifying a vulnerability and the time it takes to apply a patch.

Behavioural Analysis

Leveraging AI, it analyses user behaviour on the website to identify abnormal patterns or suspicious activities. It allows for early detection and prevention of attacks like account takeovers or brute-force attempts.

AI File Scanning

This feature will offload the malware scanner’s load to the cloud instead of your server, reducing the server’s load and using advanced AI features to find malicious files.

Traffic Analysis

BitNinja monitors incoming and outgoing traffic to detect any signs of malicious activity. Whether a web application attack or a DDoS attempt, BitNinja’s automated system swiftly blocks potential threats.

Web Application Firewall (WAF) 

BitNinja’s WAF is a stalwart defence against various web-based attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection. The WAF operates autonomously, adapting to new threats in real-time and inbound traffic with automated ruleset updates and file incident analysis. It is proven to be more reliable than cPGuard and Imunify360.

Malware Detection and Removal

Automated malware scanning ensures that your website remains free from malicious code. Should any threat be detected, it eradicates it promptly, safeguarding your site’s reputation and visitors’ safety.

IP Reputation Management

It maintains a constantly updated list of malicious IP addresses, automatically blocking access from known sources of attacks and reducing the risk of unauthorised entry.

Port Honeypot

It opens pre-configured honeypot ports to prevent malicious port scans.

Web Honeypot

Ready-to-deploy honeypots for immediate use against CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal) vulnerabilities and more.

DoS Detection

It detects and defends against TCP-based DoS attacks with configurable sensitivity DoS mitigation.

Log Analysis

Intrusion detection and response by real-time analysis of log files from different log paths, making it quick and easy to identify IP-blocking triggers like incorrect passwords and more.

Defense Robot

This feature provides real-time automated malware root cause analysis, enabling the identification of backdoors and the automatic greylisting of attacking IPs.

Database Cleaner

The Database Cleaner module scans SQL databases for malware. To ensure stability, it is only marking infections in log-only mode.

Sandbox Scanner

Emulating a PHP environment to find malicious files based on behaviour, even if they are using unknown obfuscation methods.
