Of course, it is impossible to set up everything yourself, but there are providers who offer ready-made rules, some of them live, and can thus react directly to current threats.įor example, if a new attack on a particular content management system occurs, these providers update their rules and modsecurity can then block these accesses before an infection occurs.įor Plesk users, this is a good program to prevent most known attacks on your application.

The advantage of modsecurity is the possibility to analyse accesses first and to define accordingly which accesses are legitimate and which have to be rejected directly.

Plesk Modsecurity is a Web Application Firewalla firewall that allows access to web applications like content management systems ( wordpress, joomla, etc.), or other applications and prevents known attacks. Plesk offers the possibility to configure the Web Application Firewall (plesk modsecurity) in the administration menu.
