Server Protection You Can Trust from Bullseye Media

In today’s digital landscape, your website is more than just the virtual face of your business – it’s your home base, your digital identity, and a potential treasure trove for cybercriminals. At Bullseye Media, we understand the weight of that responsibility. We don’t simply offer website hosting; we become your virtual-shield, guarding your valuable online space. Last year alone, we thwarted over 2 million malicious attack attempts, data breaches, and malware injections. That’s not just peace of mind – it’s tangible proof of our unwavering commitment to server security. In this blog, we’ll take a look at how attackers try to break in, the systems we use to prevent them, and how we proactively enhance our security wherever we can.

Understanding and Mitigating Common Attacks

There are a number of common angles attackers try to use, but our Enterprise-grade Web Application Firewall is designed to mitigate these potential weak points:

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these attacks rely on stealth and disguise. Attackers cunningly inject malicious code into seemingly legitimate applications, turning trusted tools into unsuspecting weapons against unsuspecting users. Our systems are able to detect this malicious code and reject it.
  • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) – Picture a skilled pickpocket stealing your credit card and ID. Cross-Site Request Forgery operates similarly, allowing attackers to operate using your digital identity as a mask. By hijacking your session cookie, they seamlessly impersonate you, carrying out unauthorized actions and sabotaging your online experience. Our automated Browser Integrity Check will evaluate request headers to determine whether a request is coming from a legitimate source or not.
  • Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) – Imagine you have a super cool lemonade stand, and everyone in town wants a taste! So many people come that they crowd around your stand, making it impossible for anyone, even you, to actually get to the lemonade. That’s kind of like a DDoS attack on a website. This attack overwhelms the website, like having too many customers at your stand, and prevents access to data or even crashes it. To prevent this, we leverage routing through Cloudflare’s network, effectively obfuscating our real server and preventing bad actors from sending traffic directly to the origin, where your web content is hosted.

 

That’s just to name a few. There are so many ways attackers try to gain access to your site data, it’s easy to see why having a company dedicated to your online security in charge of your website is crucial in today’s digital age.

Essential Security Foundations

Keeping your server, website, and web tools up to date is non-negotiable. Again, think of this as your home – outdated web tools and server software is like locking the door but leaving all the windows open. Hackers and malware lurk like shadowy figures, searching for these vulnerabilities to steal your data, wreak havoc, or hold your website hostage. Every unpatched update presents an opportunity for them to slip through the cracks, potentially causing immense damage to your online presence and user trust. Regular updates are the essential locks and alarms that keep your digital home firmly shut.

By implementing patches promptly and keeping all our systems up to date, Bullseye Media helps you benefit from improved performance, user trust, and peace of mind. In 2023, our dedicated team made over 4 thousand security updates and improvements, resulting in the prevention of over 2 million malicious attacks. Remember, proactive security isn’t just about avoiding trouble – it’s about building a website that thrives in the face of ever-evolving threats, ensuring its long-term success and resilience.

Implementing Response Strategies

No matter how robust your website’s defenses, the digital landscape is ever-shifting, and even the most secure fortresses might face a determined siege. At Bullseye Media, we understand that preparedness is key. That’s why, beyond building impenetrable digital walls, we have rigorous response and recovery measures in place to ensure your website emerges unscathed if an attack ever occurs.

Think of it as having not just an ironclad tower, but a well-rehearsed fire drill protocol. Our daily backups act as your digital time machine, allowing us to rewind your website to a clean state before any attack, preserving your precious data and minimizing disruption. Like a skilled surgeon wielding a digital scalpel, our malware scanning and removal processes then scour your website, meticulously eliminating any lingering traces of the attack, leaving it pristine and secure once more. We want all of our clients to be able to breathe easy, knowing that with Bullseye Media, you’re not just building a secure website, you’re building resilience.
