No, Webshell Trojan interception cannot completely prevent hacker attacks. While it is an effective security measure to detect and block malicious scripts (like Webshells) that attackers often use to maintain unauthorized access to a web server, it is only one layer of defense in a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
Webshells are typically uploaded to a compromised web server to execute arbitrary commands, and intercepting them helps stop ongoing or attempted intrusions. However, hackers use a variety of other techniques to breach systems, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), zero-day exploits, credential stuffing, phishing, and DDoS attacks. If other vulnerabilities exist—such as unpatched software, weak authentication mechanisms, or misconfigured servers—hackers can still find ways in.
For example, an attacker might exploit a vulnerability in a web application to upload a Webshell, but if your system has strong Webshell Trojan interception (such as file integrity monitoring and behavior-based anomaly detection), the malicious file may be blocked or flagged. However, if the same application has an SQL injection flaw, the attacker could extract sensitive data without needing a Webshell at all.
To strengthen your defenses, you should adopt a multi-layered security approach, including:
In the cloud environment, services like Tencent Cloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) can help filter out malicious traffic and block common web attacks, while Tencent Cloud Host Security provides features such as Webshell detection, vulnerability scanning, and intrusion prevention to secure your servers. Additionally, Tencent Cloud Security Center offers centralized security management and real-time threat detection across your cloud infrastructure. These services work together to reduce the risk of hacker attacks but should be part of a broader security strategy.
