Providing our customers with safe server environments is core to the ProStack mission. After all, we know that even small vulnerabilities can lead to major site downtime, reputational risks, and clean-up costs.
That’s why we’re thrilled to be rolling out a new anti-malware solution to our cPanel servers. In the future, we’ll also be integrating it with our server platform Cito.
After extensive testing, we’re confident that Monarx will protect your sites against malware even more effectively than before.
Why are we updating our anti-malware solution?
We’re moving on from our previous hosting security solution, Imunify360, for a couple of reasons. Imunify360 served us well, but it didn’t flag and fix malware infections as proactively as we needed it to.
By choosing Monarx, we’re also teaming up with a truly forward-thinking solution provider – one that is actively responding to threats like AI-enabled cyberattacks. As the threat landscape evolves, it’s critical that we keep our customers’ sites resilient against such risks.
How we’re creating a more robust server environment
We tested Monarx extensively before deciding to integrate it with our servers. We could see that it had all the capabilities expected of an anti-malware solution – from firewalls to threat detection – but we wanted to see how it stacked up against Imunify360.
These three findings really moved the needle on our decision.
Speedy scanning
Slow scanning speeds were a major issue with our previous solution. We often heard from customers that it could take hours to learn whether a site had security issues – a shortcoming we knew we needed to rectify.
So when our tests found that Monarx could detect the same infections around three times quicker, moving forward seemed like a no-brainer.
Plus, Monarx runs scans proactively. It’s constantly checking for issues, so you don’t have to wait to spot a problem before investigating further.
Our tests also showed less CPU overhead, significantly higher detection rates, and lower memory consumption compared to Imunify360. To put it simply, Monarx can scan for malware without slowing your site down.
Greater granularity and insight
Monarx also provides greater insight into the individual threats facing your site.
For instance, a quick scan can tell you:
- Which server and site files are infected
- The type of infected files you’re dealing with, from backdoors to crypto miners
This means you can spend far less time investigating potential issues, and more time fixing them with laser focus.
Plus, once Monarx identifies a malware issue, it cleans it up automatically – taking lots of the legwork out of this process for you.
Quick, effective clean-ups
There are times when even the most robust malware scanner can’t fully protect against (or fix) a security issue. For instance, if you lose control of your site due to a password breach.
Helping our customers to recover after a hack is, of course, another top priority. That’s why we’re really pleased to offer a Website Clean-up Service through Monarx.
With this service, an engineer will manually clean an affected site. They’ll be able to take a deep dive into your site’s code, identify any damage caused by hackers, and get your site back to health.
What’s next for you?
If your site is already hosted on our cPanel servers or Cito platform, then there’s nothing you need to do on your end. You can rest assured that Monarx is already scanning your site environment and taking care of threats before you know they’re there.
Of course, if you do have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to talk through what this update means for you.
