Shield and Insights.

Our own firewall and analytics, added to any Skerry hosting plan. Take them as they come, or have us tailor them to your site.

Skerry Shield.

Your hosting already filters known attacks at the network. Shield is ours. It sits in front of your own site and deals with the traffic aimed at it.

Turns scanners away

Automated scanners probe every site for weak spots. Shield recognises the pages they ask for and refuses them.

Slows login guessing

Repeated attempts on your login are throttled, so guessing a password takes longer than it is worth.

Answers probes with decoys

Requests for files that should never be public get a marked fake. If that fake is ever used, we know who took it.

Keeps a record

Everything Shield stops is written down, so there is evidence of what was tried and when.

Skerry Insights.

Analytics that tell you what people do on your site, without following them around the web.

No cookies

Insights sets no cookies and builds no profiles, so it needs no consent banner.

Pages and forms

See which pages are read, where visitors arrive, and which forms are sent.

Kept on our servers

The numbers are collected and stored by us. They are not passed to an advertising company.

One summary

Visitors and blocked traffic arrive together, so you see the whole picture of who came to your site.

Two tiers.

Basic is Shield and Insights as they come. Managed means we work with you to advance and tailor both to your site.

How it starts.

Shield never begins by blocking. It watches your real traffic first, so nothing it does later gets in the way of a genuine visitor.

  1. We install and watch

    Shield and Insights go onto your site. Shield records what it would stop, and stops nothing yet.

  2. We switch it on

    Once the record shows only unwanted traffic would be stopped, Shield starts turning it away.

  3. We tailor it

    On the Managed tier, we go through the record with you and shape the rules and goals around your site.
