MITS Security Center
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers:
MITS Security Center is built as a system module for modified eCommerce Shopsoftware and extends the existing installation with its own functions and management areas.
Nevertheless, we always recommend a complete backup of the shop files and database before every installation or update.
Yes. If a finding is classified as harmless after manual review, it can be specifically ignored.
The ignore setting is tied to the current file contents. If the file changes later, a new finding can be reported again. This ensures that actual subsequent changes remain visible.
Yes. MITS Security Center supports scheduled tasks in modified eCommerce Shopsoftware.
This allows certain security checks to run regularly without having to start each scan manually.
Yes. MITS Security Center can detect incorrect or unwanted file and directory permissions and correct them if required.
Exceptions and custom target permissions can also be defined for special server configurations.
Yes. The integrated malware and web shell scanner examines relevant files for typical characteristics of malicious code, obfuscated PHP content and suspicious execution patterns.
A finding does not automatically mean that a file is malicious. Detected findings can therefore be examined more closely in the administration area and treated as false positives if necessary.
No. No automatic scanner can fully guarantee that a system is free of malware or has not already been attacked.
However, MITS Security Center provides several useful monitoring mechanisms that help detect suspicious changes and known anomalies more quickly so they can then be investigated specifically.
No. MITS Security Center is an additional security and monitoring solution within modified eCommerce Shopsoftware. It does not replace professional server security, a firewall or management by an experienced administrator.
However, the module helps reveal unusual file changes, problematic permissions, suspicious content and unsuitable system settings more quickly.
Yes. Extensive checks are processed incrementally, so not all files have to be handled in a single request.
This also makes MITS Security Center suitable for larger modified eCommerce Shopsoftware installations containing many files.
MITS Security Center combines several security checks in one module. These include monitoring shop files using SHA-256 checksums, checking file and directory permissions, detecting suspicious files and checking important PHP and server settings.
If a file is changed, newly added or removed compared with the previously created reference baseline, MITS Security Center can detect this difference and display it as an event.
This allows you to check specifically whether the change was intentional or whether further action is needed.
