How to Setup Server Side Scanning?
A lot of website attacks come from compromised servers and server level infections. Server Side Scanning will remotely monitor your site every 3-6 hours. These scans are very efficient.
Server Side Scanning will verify every single file on your site, looking for backdoors and other security issues that our remote scanner could miss. It also tracks file changes, giving you an audit trail of any changes that happen in your files.
