CyberGuard Security Connector

ማብራሪያ

CyberGuard Security Connector connects your WordPress or WooCommerce website to the CyberGuard SaaS platform.

The plugin provides WordPress/WooCommerce monitoring, reports and security event visibility. Enhanced e-commerce protection requires a CyberGuard plan and the CyberGuard server agent installed on the hosting environment. This setup is recommended for WooCommerce stores hosted on a VPS, dedicated server or managed infrastructure where the CyberGuard server agent can be installed.

It does not replace backups, updates, malware scanning or a web application firewall. It works as a connector that sends security signals, heartbeat checks and technical reports to your CyberGuard dashboard.

Main features:

  • WordPress and WooCommerce detection
  • Security heartbeat
  • Failed login event reporting
  • XML-RPC access monitoring
  • 404 event reporting
  • WordPress, PHP and plugin inventory reporting
  • HTTPS and WP_DEBUG status reporting
  • Manual report generation from WordPress
  • Connection to CyberGuard using an activation key
  • Centralized visibility for agencies, MSPs and teams managing several websites
  • Enhanced server-level monitoring when used with the CyberGuard server agent

This plugin requires a CyberGuard account and an activation key generated from your CyberGuard dashboard.

No WordPress user password is collected or transmitted.
