Our digital shield comprises a multitude of security solutions that allow us to block<a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/most-common-types-of-cyber-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> attacks and malware<\/a>, even before they reach our customers.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing too! Anyone who visits a news site knows that more and more malicious parties are roaming the Internet to <strong>abuse<\/strong> vulnerable websites. That is why it is very important that your website is properly secured.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/nl\/blog\/files\/datacenter-servers-1-2.png\" alt=\"Shared hosting with Combell?

Combell thinks the same when it comes to digital attacks. That is why we make sure the Combell Shield is <strong>made of the best 'materials'<\/strong>: from logical interventions to advanced technologies.<\/p>\n<p>That is not all. Combell Shield is accompanied by so-called <em>lifecycle management<\/em>. This means that we keep <strong>everything up-to-date<\/strong> on our side, because protecting customers with old-fashioned software is <em>not done<\/em>. We do updates twice a week, unless we have to do it faster because of security flaws in certain systems.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of Combell Shield?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best protected web hosting<\/h3>\n<p>Combell Shield protects all customers who use our shared hosting (or web hosting). With web hosting, several customers share a server to store their website (neatly separated from each other).<\/p>\n<p>You can rest assured: <strong>Combell uses the highest standards for web hosting<\/strong>. While with other hosting companies, you can often be inconvenienced by other websites on your shared server, with Combell, you will not notice this at all. And especially not with our Combell Shield!<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-inline-notice uagb-inline_notice__align-left uagb-block-a0c50d9e uagb-inline_notice__outer-wrap\">\n<p class=\"uagb-notice-title\">Tip<\/p>\n<div class=\"uagb-notice-text\">\n<p>Shared hosting is the perfect hosting package for starters and it is also budget-friendly.

Yet it can happen that due to lack of time you are still stuck with older software, which can cause problems. For example: your site no longer working properly, being hacked, loss of income due to downtime ...<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we scan ourselves for <strong>clients using older software (PHP versions)<\/strong>, and whether clients' code is ready for a new version. When it is, we contact the customer three times. Without a response, we perform that update ourselves. This is in the best interest of everyone, so customers are satisfied with this as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-inline-notice uagb-inline_notice__align-left uagb-block-4dc2e925 uagb-inline_notice__outer-wrap\">\n<p class=\"uagb-notice-title\"><strong>Choose managed hosting<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"uagb-notice-text\">\n<p>Would you like Combell to take care of all updates and the maintenance of your hosting?

Fortunately, our Combell Shield includes a <strong>GateKeeper<\/strong>. This system ensures greater accessibility of your website or application.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/nl\/blog\/files\/server-shield-2-1.png\" alt=\"Downtime is a thing of the past thanks to Combell Shield.\" class=\"wp-image-25820\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Downtime is a thing of the past thanks to Combell Shield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p>In the past, when you wanted to add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-caching-and-how-does-it-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">caching layer<\/a> to your hosting, you had to change your DNS settings.

When the request limit <em>(rate limit)<\/em> of a certain website is exceeded, we can check whether these requests are reliable. If necessary, our experts will <strong>increase the request limit for that website.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scanning for vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Combell Shield scans the source code of all the applications behind the shield for 'holes' that could lead to zero-day attacks. If your CMS system is no longer up-to-date, your site is vulnerable to such attacks.<\/p>\n<p>For Combell Shield, Combell teams up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patchman.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patchman<\/a> in order to provide optimal and, above all, quick protection to customers,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/combells-automatic-patching-protects-your-website-at-all-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> thanks to automatic patching<\/a>.<\/strong> Often, we even provide virtual patches faster than the software manufacturers can provide official updates.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Malware detection<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, Combell Shield also performs<strong> traditional malware scans<\/strong>. Each virus has its own 'signature', and based on <strong>signature detection<\/strong>, Combell Shield looks for those signatures in the public files of our hosting customers.<\/p>\n<p>When we discover malware in those files, we automatically remove it, but we also inform our customer that there is dirt in his files.<\/p>\n<p>Because we keep all our customers' system environments strictly separate - that's what we call \"<strong>jailing<\/strong>\" - other customers won't be affected when one customer is hit by malware, but of course we don't want to host a single customer with malware.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/nl\/blog\/files\/shield-pros.jpg\" alt=\"Discover the advantages of Combell Shield.\" class=\"wp-image-25824\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Discover the advantages of Combell Shield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Combell Shield work?<\/h2>\n<p>Our Combell Shield protects you by <strong>combining many defense mechanisms<\/strong> into one big digital shield. That works quite simply.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocking IP addresses<\/h3>\n<p>Every visitor who wants to connect to a website hosted by Combell, must pass through the Combell Shield platform. This way, we can already detect and block simple threats. Usually, these are <strong>malicious bots<\/strong> that send a lot of requests to a website from a certain IP address, in order to shut down that website.<\/p>\n<p>Combell Shield does this very carefully, and can even intervene on the level of individual customers and websites. If, for instance, a web store mainly has customers in the Benelux, and is attacked with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/how-can-you-protect-your-website-against-ddos-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a DDoS attack<\/a>, we can block all connections from outside the Benelux.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connection logging<\/h3>\n<p>All connections and streams that arrive on the Combell Shield platform are logged and checked by <strong>smart algorithms<\/strong>. This way, we can quickly see when one IP address suddenly sends a suspicious number of requests to multiple devices or applications.<\/p>\n<p>When the algorithms notice that unsafe activities are happening from a certain IP address, we block that abusive address and all our customers remain safe.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-inline-notice uagb-inline_notice__align-left uagb-block-7678c91c uagb-inline_notice__outer-wrap\">\n<p class=\"uagb-notice-title\">Also read<\/p>\n<div class=\"uagb-notice-text\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/how-does-combell-protect-you-against-ddos-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How does Combell protect you against DDoS attacks?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Web Application Firewall<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, our firewall is also a very important part of Combell Shield. When a hacker enters certain data in a web form, he can use them to confuse a database. This is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/sql-injections-how-to-prevent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an SQL injection attack<\/a>. With the Web Application Firewall, we quickly detect these attacks, and we can immediately block the hacker.<\/p>\n<p>Our Firewall also intervenes against <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/brute-force-attacks-how-to-protect-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brute-force attacks<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. This is an attack in which a hacker continuously tries to log in to a website or webshop and tries out various combinations of login data in order to get into the system.<\/p>\n<p>Our firewalls keep digital intruders out, but also when someone tries to tamper with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/managed-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">managed servers<\/a>, Combell Shield comes into action. Because our shield also consists of people. <strong>Security experts<\/strong>, to be precise, who keep a close eye on our data center.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neem een kijkje in ons datacenter: ontdek het topniveau van Interxion\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/th3cbp7WBLI?feature=oembed&hl=en&cc_lang_pref=en&cc_load_policy=1&modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our own night club bouncer<\/h3>\n<p>Just like in a nightclub where you have an bouncer at the door, there is a GateKeeper at the entrance of our Combell Shield. This way, your web server no longer has to fight off attacks itself, and its computing power can be used in full for the performance of your website.<\/p>\n<p>If a request does not appear to be kosher, it does not stand a chance of getting past Combell Shield. Suspicious requests do not get near the server where your website is located. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual updates<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/en\/blog\/installing-updates-quickly-a-must-for-better-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regular updates of all systems<\/a> are an important security mechanism in Combell Shield. When Content Management Systems (CMSs) such as WordPress or Drupal do not receive updates, they are very vulnerable to zero-day attacks. Zero-day attacks are attacks in which a hacker immediately exploits a software problem, even before an update can be performed to fix that problem.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you install Combell Shield?<\/h2>\n<p>We can answer this question briefly. \ud83d\ude09 Combell Shield is not an option or part of a package.
