Zero Day Attack Protection & Prevention

The Sucuri Firewall delivers real-time threat protection by leveraging defensive mechanisms to block malicious behavior and protect your website from zero-day vulnerability exploits.

Our dedicated security team and researchers continuously update rulesets to protect customers against vulnerabilities and mitigate unknown threats. With the majority of zero-days automatically detected and blocked by default, our allowlist model only permits legitimate requests to your application.

What is a Zero Day Attack?

Zero-day attacks take place when a software vulnerability is unknown to all parties interested in patching it—including the users, security researchers, and the team or developer responsible for maintaining the project.

Once a zero-day vulnerability is discovered, a window opens and leaves users open to attacks. This window exists until a security patch is developed, the security vendors release a virtual patch to protect against the exploit, or a proof-of-concept for the exploit is released.. These events change a zero-day to a known vulnerability.

How Sucuri Protects Against Zero Day Threats

The Sucuri Firewall uses a multi-tiered approach to zero day threat protection.

1.

Threat Extraction

Requests are profiled and analyzed across the entire network. Malicious requests are stripped in real-time to prevent them from ever reaching your site.
2.

Application Profiling

Profiles are dynamically built for the website technologies used by our customers. Specialized knowledge of open-source CMS applications and their risk factors help us block malicious behavior.
3.

Blocklist Engine

Our custom built blocklist signature blocking model identifies evolving threats as they develop. No third-party services are used. Our team of security engineers and researchers work around the clock to identify and blocklist malicious IPs, requests, and signatures.
4.

Virtual Patching

Emerging threats are virtually patched to respond to and block attacks across all known vectors. This includes known and zero-day vulnerabilities in the website’s plugins, themes, and core files. Custom rules give you control over how patches are applied to your environment.

About the Sucuri Firewall

The Sucuri Firewall is a cloud-based WAF that blocks hack attempts and mitigates zero-day threats to protect your website and traffic.

The firewall does not require any modification or installation to your web server. Instead, your traffic is redirected to the Sucuri network for filtering. A simple DNS change protects from a variety of security issues including DDoS, blocklisting, brute force attacks, SQL injections, and malware.

Our virtual hardening and patching technology defends your website environment. Constant research allows us the ability to prevent vulnerabilities and configure custom rules to meet your needs. Caching optimization, website acceleration, and Anycast CDN Firewall features mean you’ll also enjoy improved speeds and performance for your website.
