XShield Professional

XShield Professional is a tool you might want to check out if your website has links to other pages. Why? Well, sometimes those links can end up pointing to content that isn't appropriate, like adult material. How does that happen? If a company forgets to renew their domain name, it can be snapped up by cybercriminals who then redirect it to whatever content they choose. This sneaky tactic is often called 'porn-napping'.

What Could Happen?

Imagine this: your company has a link to a completely safe site, but then it gets hijacked and now points to something inappropriate. You can't control what happens on external sites, so this could happen at any time. Now picture a potential customer or their child clicking that link on your site and getting directed to something offensive. You could end up with an angry email from someone who's had a bad experience.

Why Use XShield?

This is where XShield comes in handy! If you were already using it, you probably wouldn’t be finding out about this from an upset customer. Instead, XShield keeps an eye on your links for you and alerts you if anything changes unexpectedly. It scans automatically throughout the day and sends quick email alerts to your IT team if there’s ever an issue.
