GoDaddy Boosts Web Hosting Security
Web hosting provider and domain registrar Go Daddy (godaddy.com) announced on Wednesday it has added another layer of security to its Web hosting by deploying TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems to block attacks.
GoDaddy put TippingPoint systems in place to protect all dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting servers at no additional cost. The intrusion prevention system is an in-line device that scans traffic and, based on rules, determines whether data packets are legitimate or malicious.
“Security is a top priority at Go Daddy,” says Neil Warner, Go Daddy’s chief information security officer. “TippingPoint systems have an established track record of success. Our customers deserve this extra protection for their hosting accounts.”
In addition to the security feature, each dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting plan includes free rapid setup, a free SSL certificate and 24-hour customer support, physical security and network monitoring.
