security scanner

[altimaweb]

Hi there

Not sure is it the best place, because the solution I want to discuss not exactly extensions, at least most of them.

Anyway, I am comparing options for a solution that does ongoing scan of Magento website and detects there malware, injections, vulnerabilities, viruses. 

So far I have found the next solutions

• siteguarding.com
• sucuri.net
• quttera.com

All they as I understand have server component that I should install to the server where Magento is hosted.

There is also an extension called Mage Fence

I am interested to hear feedback from people who used any of the solution above or substitutes - the good the bad and the ugly sides of using them

Security scanners can use Internet connections to scan files on other computers over the Internet through file sharing protocols such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). They may also monitor network traffic looking for signs of malicious activity. I am now willing to read https://theglammomstyle.com/peter-skrzynecki-analysis/ article because it has useful information about Peter Skrzyneck Analysis and I got topic to write an essay about it.

Hi there,

You're definitely on the right track in prioritizing security for your Magento store. While the solutions you mentioned are popular, it's worth considering extensions specifically built for Magento, as they can provide a more seamless integration and a tailored approach to securing your website.

One such solution is the Magento 2 Security Suite. Unlike external services, it doesn’t require any server-side installation, as it’s a native Magento extension. It offers a complete security package, including:

• Malware and vulnerability scanning to detect threats in real-time.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) for added login protection.
• IP whitelisting and blacklisting to restrict access to your admin panel.
• Admin action logging, so you can monitor and track any changes.
• File change detection, which alerts you if any core or custom files are tampered with.
• Brute force attack protection, safeguarding your store from unauthorized access attempts.

The best part? It’s built specifically for Magento 2, so you don’t have to rely on external server components or third-party tools. It’s easy to configure and keeps the security processes centralized within your store.

I’ve found it to be a robust and user-friendly security solution compared to external tools. If you’re looking for a Magento-focused alternative, it’s definitely worth exploring.

Hope this helps!
