- Personal data breaches
Companies that collect data on citizens in European Union (EU) countries will need to comply with strict new rules around protecting customer data by May 25, 2018. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is expected to set a new standard for consumer rights regarding their data, but companies will be challenged as they put systems and processes in place to comply.
Compliance will cause some concerns and new expectations of security teams. For example, the GDPR takes a wide view of what constitutes personal identification information. Companies will need the same level of protection for things like an individual’s IP address or cookie data as they do for name, address and Social Security number.
This plugin is meant to assist a Controller, Data Processor, and Data Protection Officer (DPO) with efforts to meet the obligations and rights enacted under the GDPR.
NOTE: Installing this plugin does not guarantee a full compliment with the GDPR. Please contact a GDPR consultant or a law firm to assess the necessary measures.
Technical Description
Hide Function – Perfect Security and Protection solution
A passive security mechanism for hack protection against crawlers spiders and bots. A fullprof function – one click and your website will become hidden from bots.
The Hider algorithm encrypts all layers of a website, thus hiding it from hackers by making existing vulnerabilities and other security risks invisible when searched and does not require manual configuration. Our encoding algorithm does not use the .htaccess file therefore there is no disruption to the operation of your website. This function will make your WordPress website totally invisible! A crucial step in improving your website security.
Smart Protection
A web application firewall filters, monitors, and blocks bad bot traffic to a website. It is deployed in “front” of a website and analyzes traffic – detecting and blocking anything malicious.
Anti SPAM
WebDefender includes a unique automatic algorithm for diagnosing the text entered on your website (forum, forms, comments and etc,) where made by a human or a bot. Bots won’t be allowed to enter text on your website. This is a unique algorithm, providing a unique solution to our clients.
The crisis is a time when almost every site is faced with a flurry of unwanted emails from reverse forms, posts and comments. Robots literally attack corporate e-mails, because of which sometimes valuable applications can be missed. But putting a captcha on the site you risk losing customer loyalty, as poorly readable images annoy 90% of users. Therefore, we offer a solution developed by WEbdefender specialists to protect the site from spam robots .
Brute Force Attack Protection
Hackers frequently use automatic bot systems to Brute force a website. Our algorithm detects those bots and prevents attempts of a password crack.
The “WebDefender” Antivirus Scanner
The builtin professional and multi-functional antivirus scanner offers top of the line security features and advanced functions for viruses and vulnerabilities detection. The scanner incorporates a user friendly malware removal tool. The diagnostic is performed by using a known database of virus signatures as well as Cobweb-Security’s Heuristic algorithm that can detected previously unknown virus signatures and zero-day vulnerabilities thus providing enterprise-level security capabilities.

Vulnerabilities Detection
One of the most important parts of your website security and protection is a well-timed analysis for plugin, CMS and database vulnerabilities. These security vulnerabilities are an easy way for a hacker to crawl into your website. That’s why a well-timed diagnosis and update are vital for hardening the protection of the website.
Our security scanner is able to find:
- Plugins and themes vulnerabilities

Blacklist Monitoring
The WebDefenders’ Blacklist Monitoring scanner checks IP addresses and website domains in the 10 most popular security blacklists and safe browsing databases.
Real-time Blacklists or Blackhole lists – also called DNS-based Blackhole Lists – are lists of IP addresses published through DNS. Often there are listed computers or networks that may spam or consist malware in such lists. Many secure corporate mail servers are configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from IP addresses listed in one of these security blacklists.
Leading email systems like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail also use security blacklists to filter emails by addresses. If your network’s IP addresses end up in a blacklist, you and your customers can experience problems sending and receiving emails. It can significantly damage your business.
WebDefender Blacklist Monitoring scanner will automatically alert you if your website addresses or domains become listed in any of the widely used URL blacklists.
The Updater – WP Core, plugin and theme automatic update
The importance of using the latest updated version of the WP core, plugins and themes is understandable to everyone and not only for the increase in functionality but in no small degree for the security of the website.
