The new version of the award-winning website management solution delivers a highly-secured tool to SMBs for immediate launch of online presence
Bitrix, Inc., a technology trendsetter in web business communications, announces the availability of Bitrix® Site Manager 9.0 - a new incarnation of the company’s flagship website management solution designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. The 100+ new features and improvements reinforce the product’s claim to the title of the world’s most secure web content management solution and delivers new opportunities for fast and painless launch of a high-quality online presence to customers.
"Security is an essential part of web asset management. There is no reason for best-of-breed functionality without protection," said Dmitry Valyanov, President of Bitrix. "With web anti-virus integrated in the latest release of Bitrix Site Manager, customers can enjoy the full range of web security technologies vital for sustainable website operation immediately after launch."
Bitrix Site Manager 9.0 makes a huge step forward in security with the improvement of the integrated PRO+PRO™ security framework, which goes far beyond traditional website protection. Thanks to the new web anti-virus module, the product prevents malicious code distribution to website visitors and provides both detection and disinfection capabilities, including automatic purging of infected code. In combination with the embedded backup and integrity control, the web anti-virus dramatically amplifies overall product security, minimizes downtime, and ensures industry-leading business continuity and reputation protection.
The web anti-virus performs real-time scanning of outgoing HTML code, identifies and cuts suspicious iframe and javascript blocks, and informs the website administrator about the detected threat. It combines rule-based behavior blocking and signature-based anti-virus to combat, with 90% efficiency, both known and unknown malware which other systems would simply pass along to website users.
Bitrix Site Manager 9.0 tremendously simplifies website development by offering turnkey websites – a set of ready-to-go design and content templates for corporate, personal and community websites and online shops. This shortens the development process and allows launching a quality and fully customized website in a matter of hours with the guidance of the step-by-step wizard.
The solution is now equipped with a powerful tool for creating business-specific website functionality. Bitrix Site Manager 9.0 supports grid modeling, which is ideally suited to designing custom catalogs, inventories, directories and contact management with minimum hassle and no programming skills. Thanks to integration with business process management, grids also ensure routine automation, data consolidation and better team orchestration.
Bitrix Site Manager 9.0 underwent a major performance optimization to secure sustainable operation for extremely heavy-load websites. Improved caching, database interaction and internal communications demonstrate industry-leading peak performance indicators. The product is now capable of serving 4 million unique visitors per day while maintaining acceptable response times (0,4sec) and fault-tolerance (0,04%) on low-range hardware.
Customers and developers can take advantage of an integrated marketplace of add-ons and templates. This lets end-users purchase task-specific third-party modules, designs and templates. At the same time, Bitrix partners can sell their customized solutions for enhancing website functionality to solve sector-specific tasks. Importantly, third-party modules pass a scrupulous security audit by the Bitrix Web Security department to ensure their compliance with the company’s security standards.
Other enhancements include: source code availability in both trial and commercial versions, search & replace feature for automated content editing, new features in social networking, easy implementation of third-party widgets, improved multiple website management and extended LDAP support for import of user profiles from multiple LDAP servers.
