How We Keep PerkHit Safe
We know no system stops every bad actor out there. But like a car alarm, the goal is to deter as many as possible and make our platform a harder target. A little extra protection is always better than none.
Automated bot detection identifies and blocks spam bots that try to interact with the platform. If it is not a real person, it does not get through.
Spam database checks run every visitor against known spam databases. Repeat offenders and known bad actors get flagged before they can even interact with the system.
Auto-ban for bad behavior. The system watches for suspicious patterns and automatically blocks repeat offenders. No manual intervention needed.
Real-time input cleaning. Every single request coming into the platform is scanned and sanitized on the spot, so harmful data never reaches the system.
PerkHit is built for local businesses and the customers who walk through their doors. The vast majority of threats to any website come from overseas traffic that has no reason to be there. By limiting access to where our businesses and their customers actually are, we cut out a huge chunk of potential problems before they start.
Country-level access controls restrict the platform to visitors within the United States, where our partner businesses and their customers are located.
Proxy, VPN, and TOR filtering catches visitors trying to hide their real location. If someone is masking where they are coming from, they are not a local customer picking up a coffee.
ISP-level filtering gives us additional control to block traffic from sources that are known for generating problems.
SQL injection protection blocks the most common method hackers use to try to steal or manipulate data from websites.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection prevents attackers from injecting malicious code into pages that other users might see.
Intelligent pattern recognition does not just look for known attacks. It watches for suspicious patterns and catches new threats that are not on any list yet.
Bad bot and fake crawler blocking stops automated programs that pretend to be search engines or waste bandwidth scraping your data.
Real-time traffic monitoring lets us see what is happening on the platform as it happens, so unusual activity gets noticed quickly.
Detailed threat logging records every blocked attempt with full details. Nothing slips by without us knowing about it.
Ongoing security updates keep our protection current. New threats show up all the time, and our security rules and patterns are regularly updated to keep pace.
