Firewalls and malware scanners focus on protecting against known attacks, but how do you protect against new security threats? With Proactive Defense in Imunify360 . It proactively stops malware from attacking your websites and servers. It intercepts all activity in real time, analyzes the behavior of PHP scripts, and then stops any known or unknown malicious codes from being executed. Proactive Defense is very effective because it analyzes what PHP scripts do rather than what is actually in the code or file.  Here you will learn how Proactive Defense works and how it stops even the malware that scanners are unable to detect.  View the recorded webinar here.

Proactive Defense , the new feature of Imunify360, has now been released to production for cPanel customers.

While there are millions of various strains out in the wild, all malware behave in a similar manner, and the number of variations of those behaviors is relati...
