(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Online security provider Site Security Monitor (www.sitesecuritymonitor.com) announced last week it has launched WordPress plugin, WP-Secure.
The free online application shuts down basic entry points that are known exploits in WordPress blogs, which are primary causes of vulnerabilities and theft of confidential information.
These known exposures also increase the possibility of Malware infections on targeted websites.
As the world’s leading blog publishing platform, WordPress is often used for high volume content and ecommerce websites.
SSM’s web security scanning plug-in protects WordPress blogs against most flaws found in its design.
“We expect to have over 10,000 customers downloading our WordPress plug-in within the next three months,” says SSM managing director Jason Remillard, “and we’re giving malware detection and vulnerability web security scanning services to each registered user. Imagine how many websites and visitors will be adequately protected.”
Launched in 2009, SSM specializes in “affordable, instant services” that protect sites against malware, SEO poisoning, SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and Google hacking, says the company.
Web hosts, developers and WordPress users can now download the plugin directly from WordPress.com or at SSM’s website.
