For clients who host their own websites on our Elevent Hosted Sites service, we've introduced a new security layer to help protect against bots--an AntiBot Firewall.
Bots are rampant and they are bad news. They can drive up your traffic, degrade performance, explore your website for brute-force attack vulnerabilities, spam comments, and more. While no security measure is an insta-solve to all attacks, an AntiBot firewall is one more valuable tool to help protect the integrity of your website.
What Do I Have To Do?
Nothing. We've already enabled the AntiBot firewall on your website. In addition to the manual IP list we block when we detect suspicious activities, the AntiBot firewall blocks and tracks another set of hundreds of thousands of suspicious IP addresses from a global network of over 250,000 websites.
What Does it Do?
It blocks harmful bots and suspicious IP addresses. It's a blocklist, essentially--stopping a wide array of suspicious traffic sources from getting in.
The list is constantly monitored and is updated every 12 hours. It does its work 24/7.
