Last Updated on Thursday, 21 February 2013 10:05 Written by Adam Bryner Thursday, 21 February 2013 10:05

As a 6Scan customer, you can proudly display the 6Scan Security Seal on your website. The 6Scan Security Seal conveys to your users that you take your site’s security seriously, and is proven to increase trust and boost conversion rates.

You can get the appropriate code for the security seal by logging into your cPanel, clicking on 6Scan icon, then Dashboard. Finally, click on settings and the ‘Security Seal’ tab. Simply code the entire code block inside of the tag of your website.

That’s it!

Managing Vulnerabilities with 6Scan

Last Updated on Thursday, 21 February 2013 09:55 Written by Adam Bryner Thursday, 21 February 2013 09:52

By now, you’ve probably already had 6Scan enabled on your website for some time. Chances are you’ve received some sort of notification (SMS, or via Email) that vulnerabilities have been found on your website. Don’t panic, as 6Scan makes resolving these issues easy. As you can see from the screenshot below, I’ve created a test website using an older version of WordPress. 6 vulnerabilities have been found.

Now feels like a good time to mention why you need to keep your scripts/applications updated to the latest version at all times. There’s a few reasons these applications are updated quite often.

1. Release new features and improvements
2. Patch vulnerabilities, and further secure the code

With a subscription to 6Scan (not required) these vulnerabilities can be fixed automatically upon discovery. Otherwise, the free version you simply click each vulnerability and get a detailed explanation of the problem, and how to fix it. See below –

Clicking the ‘Manual Fix’ button opens a popup window that tells you which file to edit, and how to edit it. In the case of this example WordPress installation, upgrading to the latest version would be the best choice rather than manually editing the files. There is also a ‘Technical Details’ link that provides information (if available) about the technical issue related to the vulnerability.

Easy right? That’s it for managing vulnerabilities.

Protecting Your Website with 6Scan – Getting Started

Last Updated on Thursday, 21 February 2013 09:55 Written by Adam Bryner Tuesday, 19 February 2013 09:46

Arvixe has recently deployed on all Linux servers the ability to scan your website for security issues using our 6Scan website security scanner.

6Scan is the world’s first website security suite that scans and automatically and (with subscription) fixes security vulnerabilities in real time. Non-Subscription customers can still be notified and updated on how to manually resolve security related issues manually.

Getting Started with 6Scan

After logging into your cPanel, scroll down to the security section of your cPanel and click on the 6Scan Website Security icon.

Once there, you are presented with a list of domains currently on your account. Any of which you can enable 6Scan by simply clicking the ‘Protect My Site’ button.

That’s it for getting started and enabling the 6Scan security plugin and protecting your websites!
