Sucuri

What Is Sucuri?

Sucuri is a website security platform offering comprehensive protection for websites running on any CMS. Founded in 2010 by Daniel Cid and Tony Perez and acquired by GoDaddy in 2017, Sucuri provides website firewall, malware scanning, hack cleanup, and performance optimization through a cloud-based security stack.

Website Firewall

The Sucuri WAF sits between visitors and the origin server, filtering malicious traffic before it reaches the website. It protects against SQL injection, cross-site scripting, DDoS attacks, brute force attempts, and zero-day exploits. The firewall also provides virtual patching for known CMS vulnerabilities.

Malware Detection and Removal

Continuous monitoring scans websites for malware, injected spam, backdoors, and blacklist status across Google, Norton, McAfee, and other security authorities. When infections are detected, Sucuri's security analysts perform manual cleanup, removing malicious code and hardening the site against reinfection.

Performance Benefits

The cloud-based firewall also functions as a CDN, caching content at edge locations for faster delivery. Combined with Gzip compression, browser caching optimization, and HTTP/2 support, the security proxy often improves site performance.

Why Choose Sucuri

Website owners who have experienced or want to prevent security incidents choose Sucuri. The combination of proactive firewall protection, continuous monitoring, and expert malware cleanup provides comprehensive security without requiring technical expertise.
