DreamHost’s DreamShield Redefines Website Security With 2.0 Update

BREA, California – June 4, 2024 – DreamHost®, a global leader in web hosting and Managed WordPress services, today announced significant upgrades to its DreamShield security service, including a new, highly efficient scanning engine and a revamped user interface.

Centralized Security Management

The introduction of a new streamlined interface allows DreamShield users to:

  • View the overall security health of their website at a glance with an easy to understand color-coded “green/yellow/red” website security notification system.
  • Access detailed reports and recommendations for resolving security issues directly within the interface.
  • Benefit from real-time updates with dynamic iconography that reflects the security status directly from the dashboard.

Enhanced Accessibility And Support

DreamShield offers fast-tracked support options, including easy access to a Pro Services team for premium, hands-on website repair. DreamHost’s commitment to its users extends beyond automated scans to providing comprehensive support tailored to users’ needs, ensuring that expert help is just a click away.

Streamlined Monitoring And Historical Analysis

With DreamShield, users can review 30 days of scan history along with any actions taken to mitigate threats. This feature allows for easy identification of threat actor patterns over time and surfaces potential vulnerabilities without the need for users to sift through numerous emailed reports. A consolidated view of security scans across all websites gives quick at-a-glance status to a user’s entire account.

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, DreamHost remains committed to evolving DreamShield alongside these challenges, providing its users with the most advanced tools necessary to maintain robust website security.
