Audit Log event types
The types of events that are recorded in Audit Logs for an organization or an application.
Integrations
Integrations are optional plugins and extensions that enhance the features and functionality of applications and are managed by WordPress VIP.
Engagement Boost
Engagement Boost is an opt-in AI-powered feature of Parse.ly Content Intelligence that helps drive traffic to a target post. Based on a target post selected by the user, Engagement Boost searches a site’s content and locates the most relevant and high-performing source posts. In each source post, Engagement Boost suggests text within the source post where a link to the target post should be added, and a user can accept, reject, or edit the suggestion.
Rate limiting
Rate limiting is a strategy to constrain how often an action can be repeated within a certain timeframe. The implementation of rate limiting can help to prevent some forms of malicious bot activity and to reduce strain on web servers.
Step-up authentication
Step-up authentication protects areas of the VIP Dashboard where users can access secure information (e.g. Single Sign-On (SSO) Configurations) and protects actions that are not reversible (e.g. removing a domain or editing IP Restrictions).
HTTP response headers added by VIP
A set of default HTTP response headers are added to every site that is hosted on the VIP Platform. These headers help VIP to monitor the platform and can be useful for troubleshooting the origin of a request.
Phishing
“Phishing” is a cyberattack that tricks users through fraudulent websites, emails, text messages, phone calls, and other communications. The attacker aims to persuade the user to reveal sensitive information, enter login credentials, or download malware. Phishing is a form of social engineering.
Information to include in a Support ticket
To troubleshoot and investigate a Support ticket in an efficient and effective manner, the WPVIP Support team needs to fully understand the scope, nature, and context of a request. If the initial request in a ticket does not provide sufficient information, the amount of time required to communicate and resolve the issue will increase.
Geographical Redundancy for disaster recovery
The Geographical Redundancy feature enables an application to be fully restored and operational at an alternate data center with minimal downtime and data loss if the primary data center experiences a critical failure.
