From a file uploaded through a form to an address blocked on all our servers: here is what happens, step by step, without anyone having to step in.
An upload through your site, a new plugin, an update: every file takes the same path, automatically.
HT Guard sees the new file as soon as it is written to the server.
Checked against virus signatures and our own rules against web shells.
If in doubt, the AI reads the code and says whether it is harmful or safe.
Harmful: locked. Safe: it stays where it is, nothing changes for you.
Each hosting server runs a small HT Guard agent. It watches files, logins, the firewall and outgoing email, and reports to the central server within seconds.
The central server scans files, asks the AI when in doubt, shares blocks across all servers and alerts our team. Everything runs on our own machines.

Every locked file, every server that stops answering, every spam run triggers an alert by email and WhatsApp. A false alarm lifted by the AI is reported too, so nothing goes unnoticed.
HT Guard is included with every Hi-Tech Hosting web hosting plan.
