Web Host AIT Adds Server Security Scan.
2005-03-29, HostMan.biz Web hosting provider AIT (ait.com) announced on Monday that it has launched a new Web-based application server scan that searches dedicated machines for potential back-doors and peers into shared solutions for possible script exploits. The tool also provides information about service packs and patches for dedicated customers, and recommends actions for shared hosting users. The scan allows server and Web site owners to take proactive measures against malicious operators by shutting down ports, deleting unused accounts, or cleaning up bad scripts. "Attacks have evolved beyond spam to include threats aimed at servers and Web-based applications," says AIT CEO Clarence Briggs. "Our intrusion detection systems cover multiple layers of the network, but it is important to get individual customers involved, to make sure they are not inadvertently exposing themselves." In recent weeks, several major security incidents have been reported, including phishing attacks against Yahoo and data thefts involving both ChoicePoint and LexisNexis. AIT sees this service as extending its corporate emphasis on pro-activity to the individual user. |
