dotAlert notifies you in real-time of security breach attempts, that's powerful.

How it works

  • dotAlert sends alerts to website administrators via text message or email if a website is under attack.
  • dotAlert is integrated with dotDefender to read the log files of the firewall in order to send the alerts.
  • The firewall blocks the threat, while dotAlert sends out an alert to the administrator when there is an intrusion attempt.
  • Alerts are filtered on five dimensions: type of threat, severity, velocity/frequency, time of day/day of week, and the role of each admin.

Affordability

  • dotAlert was designed to be affordable for small to mid-sized businesses.
  • Some 24/7 protection services can cost as much as $2500/month.
