Sucuri Security

Sucuri Security is a comprehensive website security platform that combines a cloud-based web application firewall (WAF) with a malware scanner, DDoS mitigation, and a content delivery network. It blocks malicious traffic before it reaches your server, scrubs incoming requests for SQL injections and XSS attempts, and offers a virtual patching system for known CMS vulnerabilities. The platform includes a remote malware scanner that checks files, databases, and uploaded content for infections, and it can automatically clean compromised sites. Sucuri also provides a hardened DNS layer, SSL certificate support, and performance caching. The service is managed through a central dashboard where you can view blocked threats, run on-demand scans, and configure firewall rules. It integrates with popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal via a dedicated plugin. Founded by Daniel Cid and Tony Perez, Sucuri was acquired by GoDaddy in 2017 but continues to operate as a standalone brand. It is best suited for site owners who want a hands-off security layer that stops attacks at the edge.
