Automated Website Security Monitoring

SubscriptionMonitoringSecurity323 impressions#839 of its week

Hi DevHunt community! I’m the founder of ScanTower.io. As a security analyst, I watched websites get hacked, domains hijacked, and malicious scripts injected - often without owners realizing until it was too late. Existing tools missed critical issues or were too complex. ScanTower gives real, external security visibility like an attacker sees it: headers, misconfigs, vulnerable CMS/plugins, forgotten subdomains, SSL/TLS issues, domain takeover risks, and malicious scripts - including card skimmers. Alerts notify you when things change, so you can fix problems before breaches.

ScanTower.io provides automated external website security scans and continuous monitoring with alerts for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and malware.
