Vik Secure

A built-in system to keep track of the actions performed by the users that try to do something suspicious to your website.

The plugin is able to register different types of reports, such as authentication failures, countries not allowed, banned IPs and so on.

A report is always linked to the IP Address of the user, so that the plugin will be able to recognize the country from which it came from.

Protect your administrator panel behind an additional token form. Beside being an extra security measure, this tool is helpful to prevent the bots recognize that your website runs on Joomla!

If the form was too invasive for your needs, you can choose to enter a secret key directly in the URL query string. In this case the administrator panel would be visible only by accessing the URL like in this example:
http://yourwebsite.com/administrator/index.php?secretkey

Block brute-force and dictionary attacks that try to find a valid login to access your Joomla! administrator panel.

This simple tool automatically blocks the users/bots that type a wrong username/password too many times in a short time range.

The plugin has a scanning feature to check if your server has been hacked.

The scanner is able to detect unsafe files, fake extensions, big files (that may use the memory disk) and so on.

In some cases the plugin can sanitize, clean up and make safe infected or malicious files.

The dashboard gives you a preview of the number of attack attempts that your website suffered within the specified time range.

It is possible to use an apposite module to stick the dashboard within the CPanel section in the administrator area of your website. This way, every time you access the back-end, you can have a look at the dashboard to check for new attacks.

Receive a notification e-mail everytime someone logs into the administrator area using your account.

This feature is able to detect the browser used to login, the type of platform (e.g. iOS, Mac, Windows...) and the type of device (mobile, desktop or bot).

The e-mail message will contain the date and time of the login and (when possible) from which country the login has been made.

Thanks to the apposite links in the e-mail, you can approve or block (ban) quickly the IP address of the user that logged in.
