TurboHub Security Features
WordPress site security is one of the core features of the TurboHub control panel. From proactive defense to security best practices, it puts the top security features at your fingertips.
SSL Status & Proactive Defense
When it comes to website security, you need to be proactive. TurboHub’s SSL status and proactive defense indicators ensure your SSL certificate is valid and your malware and proactive security defense are active.
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is the industry standard in data encryption for information transferred between a web server and a web browser. It protects online transactions and personal information, ensuring data privacy over the Internet.
A valid SSL certificate tells web browsers - and your customers - that your website follows SSL protocols for secure data transfer, keeping them safe.
Malware and proactive security defenses protect your website against malicious attacks that can hijack your website or steal customer data.
Advanced Website Hosting Protection
TurboHub allows you to instantly validate the status of your firewall and DDoS and brute force protection. These ensure you are safe against attacks designed to gain access to your web server.
A firewall is a digital barrier that blocks unauthorized access to your sites from cyber threats. When active, they block malicious traffic based on predefined security rules.
Reinforced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection prevents malicious attempts to attack your website and take them offline. DDoS attacks use multiple compromised computer systems to slow down or even crash websites, preventing access to legitimate users.
Brute force protection shields against relentless attacks attempting to log into your system. Attackers will systematically try to guess passwords, encryption keys, or other secret information. Brute force attacks are typically automated, allowing them to rapidly test millions of combinations.
Hosting.com Recommended Actions
TurboHub also includes a number of Hosting.com recommended security actions, like locking editing abilities on plugins and themes or bcrypt password hashing. These recommendations improve your overall website security, lowering the risk that hackers can access your site data.
Common recommendations include:
-
Locking the editing for plugins and themes from WP Admin to prevent the misuse of built-in editing capabilities for malicious purposes.
-
Deny direct access to configuration files to block bots and web users from directly accessing and potentially exploiting WordPress config files.
-
Remove old wp-config.php backups to eliminate unnecessary files with potentially sensitive information.
-
Use bcrypt password hashing for a more secure password storing and hashing method.
-
Disable XML-RPC services to close a possible entryway a hacker could exploit your site.
You can easily toggle these options on or off from the TurboHub security panel to fit your security needs and keep your website data safe.
Best Security Practices
TurboHub also analyzes your website to ensure you are following the best security practices. You can identify potential vulnerabilities at a glance and take action to secure your sites. Simply review the recommended security updates and follow the instructions to implement these improvements.
When necessary, TurboHub will recommend the following actions:
-
Regenerate salt key passwords to protect your account even if your login cookies are compromised.
-
Check for and remove insecure SQL backups and files that could be accessed by hackers.
-
Reduce potential vulnerabilities and improve site performance by removing unused plugins and unused WordPress themes.
Just follow the steps associated with each best practice to protect your site.
