(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Website security provider SiteLock announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with non-profit anti-malware organization StopBadware.
According to the press release, SiteLock will provide StopBadware with customized web malware scanning technology that will allow StopBadware to streamline its independent review process.
This comes several months after the WHIR talked to executive director of StopBadware Maxim Weinstein about its program for web hosts to help stop the distribution of badware on the internet.
“StopBadware’s independent review process provides much-needed due process for webmasters whose sites have been blacklisted by our data providers, and the review process will greatly benefit from the ability to more quickly and accurately detect malware,” StopBadware executive director Maxim Weinstein said in a statement. “We’re excited SiteLock has opted to formalize our long-standing relationship by coming onboard as a StopBadware Partner, and we’re extremely pleased that they’ve provided technology that streamlines one of our core programs.”
SiteLock security services include patent pending Deep 360-Degree security scanning, instant threat alerts, reputation management, verifiable website trust seals, and site maintenance.
StopBadware says its experience with malware websites will inform and enhance the technology behind SiteLock’s services and the companies will work together to develop strategies to fight web-based malware.
“We’re excited to form this partnership with a leader in the anti-malware space. Our technology will provide great value for their organization, and the partnership will allow us to protect small businesses and sites across the Web in new and more effective ways,” Neill Feather, president of SiteLock said in a statement.
In December, Philippines-based web host Mabuhay Hosting announced that it will offer SiteLock security services to its customers.

Most systems contain bugs, or loopholes, which may be exploited by malware. A typical example is the buffer overrun weakness, in which an interface designed to store data, in a small area of memory, allows the caller to supply more data than will fit. This extra data then overwrites the interface’s own executable structure. Thanks.
