With 85% of all malware attacks coming from the web and an estimated 30,000+ websites infected with malware every day, it is critical for organizations of all sizes and more importantly SMBs with limited infrastructure and resources to protect and monitor their Web vulnerability and online reputation. Based on the proliferation of malware and its impact on an SMB's online reputation, Verio is offering Website security reports, valued at $50 each, through its partnership with StopTheHacker.

"At Verio, we give security the utmost priority. Our main goals are to protect our customers' data and to keep their sites up and running," said Fred White, vice president of Marketing and Product Management. "However, most businesses do not realize they have a responsibility for the security of their own sites, as well. Through our relationship with StopTheHacker, we're working to make securing their sites as easy as possible."

With the free website security report offer, Verio aims to increase website security awareness among small businesses, and encourage customers to protect their sites by signing up for security services starting at as little as $10 per month.

"We are very excited to partner with Verio as they understand the importance of website security. We see that 90% of all the malware in the world is being distributed by legitimate small business websites," said Ridley Ruth, vice president of Sales, StopTheHacker. "This valuable, free website security report will further serve to educate Verio's customers to this growing problem while presenting products that will help protect them from becoming one of the over

9,500 websites that Google blacklists every day."
