  • Automatic secure whitelisting of search engines (No false positives with search engines, they are automatically detected and whitelisted in a way that prevents spoofing. This ensures that sites page rank is also protected.)
  • Malicious bot protection.
  • Automatic removal of malicious code from websites (If a website is compromised, the complete rules will remove the malicious code from the website in real time, without touching any code on the system.
