Imunify360

• Managed WAF Rules

  ModSecurity-based WAF with proprietary rules maintained by Imunify's security team. Automatically updated to cover new WordPress plugin vulnerabilities, CMS exploits, and emerging attack patterns.

• Proactive Defense

  Real-time PHP script behavior analysis that detects and blocks malicious activity during execution. Catches zero-day attacks that signature-based WAFs miss entirely.

• Virtual Patching

  Blocks exploit attempts against known vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins, themes, and CMS software before official patches are released or applied.

• WebShield

  Reverse proxy layer that filters bot traffic and mitigates DDoS attacks using invisible JavaScript challenges instead of traditional CAPTCHAs.

• Automated Malware Cleanup

  Detects and removes malicious code from files automatically, preserving the original file integrity. Includes database scanning for CMS infections.

• Global Threat Intelligence

  Feeds from 57M+ protected domains. An attack blocked on one server instantly protects all other Imunify-protected servers worldwide.

• WordPress Plugin

  Dedicated WordPress plugin providing site-level security dashboard, scan results, proactive defense status, and malware details directly in wp-admin.

• Compromised Password Reset

  Automatically forces password resets when it detects that cPanel or WordPress credentials were used in an attack, breaking reinfection cycles.

SafeLine Web Application Firewall

• Semantic Analysis Engine

  Analyzes the semantic meaning of HTTP requests rather than pattern matching, detecting attack intent even in obfuscated or novel payloads.

• Web Management Dashboard

  Built-in web UI for configuring protected sites, viewing attack logs, managing SSL certificates, and adjusting WAF rules without command-line access.

• One-Command Deployment

  Deploy with a single Docker Compose command. No complex configuration files or dependencies to manage.

• Automatic SSL

  Built-in Let''s Encrypt integration for automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal for protected sites.

• Attack Analytics

  Visual dashboard showing attack types, sources, frequency, and trends with detailed request logging for investigation.

• Reverse Proxy Architecture

  Operates as a reverse proxy, sitting in front of web applications to inspect and filter traffic before it reaches the origin server.
