First line of defence. The Firewall block.
July 10, 2014Detecting attempted access via repeated password attempts is easy. So should be the next step.
Collating the IP addresses of offenders from each of our hosted sites, Digital Tsunami adds these to the firewall blacklist of our private clouds, to prevent future access by that IP to ANY of our hosted sites.
While we recognise that hackers and their bots dynamically use a vast number of IPs, and that there is an immense number available, we also feel committed to maximising security and removing the opportunity for an attacking IP to be re-used.
Digital Tsunami has been hosting websites in robust data centres across the globe since 1996. We are aware of the security risks and the duty of care which is our responsibility.

Our client sites are hosted on either one of Digital Tsunami’s private clouds or, (as is the case of some of our Australian listed company clients), on their own exclusive private cloud.
No clients on our private clouds were affected by the recently detected Heartbleed vulnerability.

From Our Clients
We have been a client of Digital Tsunami now for a number of years.
As an ASX listed company, we seek reliability with our suppliers. Digital Tsunami have proven they are reliable and trustworthy.
We host multiple websites and services through them, and use them for technical and creative work.
There has never been an issue, they are always on top of all technical details, and simply provide the best possible solution around a given budget, and get things right first time. Clearly they have excellent quality controls and that shows in their services.
The MULS Executive is delighted with this aesthetically pleasing, user friendly site.
We found Digital Tsunami to be a full-service operation and we are satisfied with the products delivered: from the (identity), banners, business cards, letterheads, to the student magazine.
Andrew and his team have provided consistently good service and met both our needs and expectations. He certainly knows his stuff and delivers workable web solutions in a highly professional manner.
I am very happy with my new website from Digital Tsunami.
Not only did they design it, they also created my logo, and gave me valuable advice and professional feedback.
Through Digital Tsunami, my website now looks professional, easy to navigate and (through my customised CMS), easy to update.
Andrew and his team at Digital Tsunami were the developers behind our micro site for Fearless.
I like the way they work (efficient, effective) and delivered a great site, on time.
