What is HackAlert™
Armorize HackAlert™ is a hosted Web malware monitoring and detection service. It immediately notifies subscribers if their website has been compromised and is initiating "drive-by-downloads" that target end-user computers. Automated scans identify malicious code and links injected into websites, while customizable real-time alerts detail the malware file type, source and target destination on the end-user PC. HackAlert™ represents a critical component of the Incident Response process, ensuring that administrators can react immediately to malware injection to protect corporate and client resources.
