(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- SSL certificate authority GlobalSign (http://www.globalsign.com/) announced on Thursday that it has partnered with security firm CloudFlare (http://www.cloudflare.com/) to offer its GlobalSign HackAlert malware detection service through CloudFlare Apps.
CloudFlare Apps is a marketplace for websites to install web apps in one-click. GlobalSign HackAlert is one of a handful of apps to join the marketplace since it launched about a month ago. Other apps include Google Analytics, pingdom and CodeGuard.
HackAlert will provide CloudFlare's customers with the ability to identify drive-by downloads and provide alarms for zero-day malware threats in websites.
Delivered as a cloud-based web service, HackAlert notifies users in real-time if malicious code is detected on their website.
According to the press release, HackAlert uses various techniques to analyze the content of each website and ensures the newest malware distribution techniques are identified.
“CloudFlare is committed to web security,” Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of CloudFlare said in a statement. "That’s why we are pleased to add GlobalSign’s HackAlert service to our new Apps marketplace, specifically for websites owners who will benefit from early compromise warnings to ensure their valuable websites are not blacklisted by search engines like Google.”
The WHIR talked to Prince earlier this month about CloudFlare's security and web content optimization services as well as its unlikely fan - the now defunct hacking group LulzSec.
“GlobalSign anticipates the introduction of HackAlert Malware monitoring technology to CloudFlare’s customer base will help raise awareness of zero-day threats as well as response to the increasing demand for web based protection services,” Steve Waite, chief marketing officer, GlobalSign stated. “We are dedicated to helping organizations implement malware detection to protect their customers, their search engine traffic, and their corporate brand.”
Starting at $49 per year, the HackAlert plan allows for daily monitoring of up to 100 pages and includes notification via email along with the malicious code for quick removal, according to the press release.
CloudFlare launched its apps marketplace at this year's TechCrunch Disrupt conference, the same venue that launched its company at year ago.
Last week, CloudFlare announced that it has expanded its data center footprint to 12 data centers throughout the US, Europe and Asia. According to a press release, its new data center locations include LA, Dallas, New York, Paris, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Singapore. CloudFlare says it updated its previous data centers with new hardware including San Jose, Chicago, Ashburn, Amsterdam and Tokyo.
CloudFlare will be at HostingCon 2011 in August speaking about how hosting providers can get the most out of their current infrastructure through outsourced services.
