it was meant to be a watchdog, but grew beyond, the Orthrus Module became a self contained security guard, not only for our Metro Framework, but also for the wordpress site where it is installed
it works closely together with Sec-Check, which operates the CIO Wall and establishes numerous selectable security measures – Orthrus comes in by watching the whole CIO Wall logic and setup, it garanties a secure operation against any kind of attempt
Orthrus is the backend for our:
👉 CIO Wall
👉 functions.php guard
👉 wp-config.php guard
👉 .htaccess guard
👉 I-Rec (Instant File Recovery)
Orthrus’s authorities are:
- File Monitor, Detection, Recovery, Tracking, and Clean-up
- Informs but doesn’t nag
- Acts but allows undo as an admin action
- Remembers history and offers rollbaclk action
- Self-manages its entire lifecycle
What does it mean?
Orthrus has a complete inside view to all metro and wordpress system files, monitors them, detects any kind of change, like file content change, missing file, new file – a background task running constantly without affecting system performance in any way
Soon a change is detected, the incident is reported and also immediately revovered to the last known save state – that means, when any file got compromised it is instantly replaced and site’s normal operation is assured
the instant recovery, I-Rec, is not only reported, but also appears on the admin page and is available to undo the operation – the file change might have been legit, so the admin select the file and runs the undo action – but still exists the possibility that it wasn’t legit, so a Rollback action becomes available to undo the undo, means reinstate the original file stage
to good to be true? it is quite really true and works, flawless, Orthrus takes care of wordpress’s native security problems, specially being an “Open-Door-Playground” for all installed plugins and themes …
that is only for big companies … wrong!
any company can benefit from Orthrus, but remember, big companies usual have their programmers, developers and a security team, small companies or one-man-sites need it more than anybody else, because nobody has to study to understand the way Orthrus works or about wordpress internal functions, small companies suffer hard from a severe incidents and such can cause long downtime and high recovery costs when the system needs to be analized to find the problem – and that is what Orthrus does instead
it is that simple, one time setup and forget, it is a machine
Orthus is not a spleeping pill but assures that the system keeps running while you are sleeping, it also is not a technician, nobody needs to tell Orthrus what to do, it acts by itself and recovers from any file level incident, and it also is not the mother like: Oh, what now, what can I do, mom … when you get the report, Orthrus did it already and just tells you what happened and that your site is up and running
Orthrus is another kind of security level for wordpress sites, a real one, no third party modules needed, no additional premium add ons needed, no adds, no naggs … it just works like a machine
Orthrus is what you dreamed of, I build that machine to save an old rusty machine
