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
Digital Tsunami’s work for Leighton International has been of an extremely high quality, highly responsive and flexible in approach. Andrew and his team worked with us to understand our needs and find the most appropriate solutions.
Thank you for all your efforts in creating our new website which achieves our agreed objectives : elegantly smart, yet understated, professional and easy to use.
Once again, thanks for your promptness and partnership.
The current challenge of my job at Abbott is one of the greatest I've faced in 25 years of IT career. It's reassuring to know I can count on people like you when things go wrong.
Working with this team has been a delight and the resulting website far exceeds our expectations. All stages of the process were handled professionally, promptly and creatively. Discussions went smoothly, with flawless communication and suitable and sensible solutions whenever issues were raised. Time frames were either met or delivered early. The site was 100% accurate, indicating impressive attention to detail.
Without exception, the feedback on our site has been outstanding - clear and thoughtful layout, appropriate and interesting graphics and intuitive navigation.
I worked with Andrew on a photography project that involved a high level of visual complexity for a multinational client. Andrew was clear and professional in his briefing, but at the same time, was open to other ideas and approaches.
