IMUNIFY360

The Automated, Multi-Layered Security Platform for Linux Servers

Explore the technology that powers Imunify360, from its proactive defense engine and automated intelligence to its performance-optimized architecture.
6 Layers of Integrated Defense:
How We Protect Your Servers
Network Firewall
The network firewall leverages our global threat intelligence network, which collects attack data from over 57 million domains worldwide. When an attack is detected on one server, the offending IP is immediately blocked across the entire network, preventing that attacker from reaching any other server protected by Imunify. It stops known bad actors at the outermost perimeter before they can even attempt to exploit a vulnerability.
WebShield
WebShield sits in front of web servers to detect and filter malicious traffic, including botnet attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) attempts. For suspicious traffic, it presents our invisible JavaScript challenge, which effectively blocks automated bots while remaining passthrough for human visitors. It ensures server availability and prevents brute-force login attempts without frustrating legitimate users with traditional CAPTCHAs.
Web Application Firewall (waf)
The WAF inspects incoming traffic to identify and block common web application attacks like SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and illegal resource access. It also provides virtual patching by blocking attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities in popular software (like WordPress plugins) before an official patch is released or can be applied, protecting sites from being compromised through their own code.
Malware Scanning
Our comprehensive scanner performs real-time and on-demand scanning of all files on the server for malware signatures, backdoors, and other threats. It also includes a database scanner, which inspects the databases of popular CMS applications (WordPress, Joomla, and more) to find infections, and it scans for malicious cron jobs, closing a common backdoor used by attackers.
Proactive Defense
This is our signature real-time PHP script evaluation engine. It analyzes what PHP scripts are doing as they execute, identifying and blocking malicious behavior before it can cause harm. This is our answer to zero-day attacks as it stops even brand-new, unknown threats that traditional signature-based scanners would otherwise miss.
Intrusion Detection/Prevention (ıds/ıps)
The IDS/IPS continuously monitors server logs for signs of suspicious activity, such as repeated failed login attempts. When it detects a pattern that indicates a brute-force attack or an exploit attempt, it automatically blocks the offending IP address, protecting all server services, not just websites

More Than a Tool.
An Optimized and Automated Security Platform

Automated Expertise

We built Imunify360 to be your automated security analyst, solving
the cybersecurity skills gap and eliminating costly manual work.
Automated
Malware Cleanup
Neutralize malicious code with a single click from the dashboard, or configure it to clean up threats automatically upon detection. The system safely removes malicious code while preserving the integrity of the original file, turning a time-consuming expert task into an instant action.
Compromised
Password Reset
When Imunify360 detects that a user’s cPanel or WordPress credentials were compromised in an attack, it can automatically force a password reset, breaking the reinfection cycle.
Automated WAF
& Firewall Management
Our team of dedicated security experts constantly updates the WAF and network firewall rules based on the latest threat intelligence, so you’re always protected against the newest attacks, automatically.

Optimized Performance

We believe there should be no trade-off between security and
performance. That’s why we engineered Imunify360 for efficiency.
RapidScan
Uses smart caching and hash validation to avoid re-scanning clean files, making subsequent scans up to 20x faster.
CloudAV
Offloads the most intensive malware analysis to the cloud, significantly reducing server-side CPU load and making it ideal for shared hosting.
Low Resource Mode
Imunify360 can be configured to run with a RAM footprint of around 100MB, making it perfectly suited for even low-resource, 1GB VPS environments.

Integrated Server Hardening

Imunify360 also offers powerful features that secure the core
of your server—included in subscriptions by default.

HardenedPHP

Many websites run on old, unsupported versions of PHP. HardenedPHP automatically patches vulnerabilities in these legacy PHP versions, allowing you to securely support customers running older applications without forcing a risky or incompatible upgrade.

Powerful Management, Built for Scale

Manage Your Fleet at Scale

Imunify360 is designed to be managed as code. All configuration can be handled via a robust command-line interface and configuration files, making it easy to integrate with your existing automation and configuration management tools. Deploy and manage configurations across your entire server fleet programmatically.

See Everything in One Place
Our centralized monitoring dashboard provides a high-level, queryable view of your entire server fleet’s security posture. Track incidents, view security events, and dive deep into telemetry details across all your servers from a single, flexible interface.
