Imunify360 and Spam Filter for website security

Website security is a top concern for any online business, and ensuring your site is protected from potential threats is crucial. That’s why we’re happy to include Imunify360’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Spam Filter in all of our shared hosting plans. This powerful security suite equips your website to handle the increasing number of cyber threats.

What is Imunify360 and why it matters?

Imunify360 is a security solution designed specifically for Linux web servers. It offers a multi-layered approach to protect your website from a wide range of cyber threats, including malware, brute-force attacks, and other vulnerabilities. Imunify360 WAF combines real-time antivirus scanning, automatic malware removal, and an intelligent WAF that proactively blocks harmful traffic before it reaches your site.

What sets Imunify360  apart is its ability to detect and defend against common web application attacks, such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS), ensuring your site stays secure against evolving threats.

Benefits of Imunify360:

Web Application Firewall (WAF):

Blocks malicious traffic before it can reach your site. “It contains hundreds of rules to protect against all known (and some as-yet unknown) vulnerabilities.  The WAF Rules Auto-Configurator configures rules for particular sites, based on the CMSes they run. For instance, if a site is running WordPress, then Imunify applies a set of rules optimized to protect WordPress sites. Rules for Joomla, or Drupal, or any other CMS aren’t used. By the same token, if a site runs Drupal, then Drupal-specific rules are applied. “[1]

Spam Protection:

The included spam filter blocks harmful emails, helping to prevent spam-related issues and protecting your email reputation. This reduces the risk of blacklisting your domain, which can impact your communication.

Real-Time Malware Protection:

Scans your site for viruses and malware in real-time. If a threat is detected, it’s automatically cleaned, minimizing downtime and protecting your site’s data. “Malware cleanup removes the infected part of the file, without touching the legitimate code. This keeps web sites up and running, preserves useful file changes, and saves a lot of effort. “[1]

Intrusion Detection System (IDS):

Provides excellent visibility of server security. It scans log files from several different angles and bans IPs that show signs of malicious activity. This activity includes password failures, potential exploits, etc., and reports the data Imunify360’s Dashboard.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS):

Includes a comprehensive collection of “deny” policy rules that block all attacks. And are effective against those who use custom or well-known exploit tools.
