FireHost Implements Unique Security View
Web hosting provider FireHost has inplemented a new Security View feature to their customer portal, allowing customers to see attacks against their websites and applications that were prevented by the security system. FireHost had earlier added two other features to the customer portal, of providing access to real-time server metrics and the functionality to reboot and shut down or restart servers as the situation demanded.
With this additional feature, a customer can actually classify the attack with reference to the specific type and intention of attack, date of attack, and the site from which the attack originated, as a free and useful up-datable information, reflecting the exemplary commitment and transparency displayed by FireHost. This also demonstrates their ability and confidence to block cyber-crime.
It is important that companies must know about the number and types of attempted attacks to breach their websites and applications on a day to day basis. Security View truly exposes the reality of cybercrime situation prevailing and how they are being dealt with in real time.
The increased level of awareness would help improve the difficulties and constraints as well as reveal the true nature and frequency of attacks so that customers are better informed and conscious of the level of security requirements specific to their organization.
The company has become a member of PCI Security Standards Council as a participating organization, in order to assist and evolve the PCI Data Security Standard and other security standards for the industry.
