Solution

We always recommend upgrading to Imunify360 for better protection. While ImunifyAV is an advanced malware scan that works out of the box for web malware detection, Imunify360 delivers a complete adjustable suite of protections layers and automated malware cleanup. Enhanced protection includes the malware database scanner, layer 7 WAF protection, incorporated firewall and more.

We fight hard against web threats with Imunify360 attack mitigations:

• Advanced firewall with access to cloud heuristics and artificial intelligence for detecting new threats and protecting all servers that run the software -  capable of defending against brute force attacks, allowing to set connection thresholds, greylisting, server group scoping. This layer stops attacks ever reaching the server with RBL.
• WAF and Intrusion Detection and Protection System -  comprehensive collection of progressive bans and deny policies triggered by various events and other modules for blocking detected attacks on other layers or dividing IPs into categories based on their behaviour patterns. Modules-wide collected data then contributes to the herd immunity.
• Realtime Malware Scanner and cleanup - automatic scanning file systems for malware injection and cleaning up infected files.
• CloudAV scanner - incorporates our server-side sandbox analysis of the newly found scripts providing verdicts in no time.
• Hardened PHP - provides patches and updates even for older PHP versions, providing additional security measures against PHP-based vulnerabilities.
• Patch Management - rebootless Secure Kernel powered by KernelCare keeps the server secure by automatically patching kernels without having to reboot the server.
• Website Reputation Monitoring - analyzing if websites or IPs are blocked by any blacklists and notifying if they are.
• Proactive Defense - Proactive Defense protects websites running PHP, against zero-day attacks by blocking potentially malicious executions automatically and with zero latency.
• Malware Database Scanner - remove injections in databases. It's our innovative scan solution. - https://docs.imunify360.com/features/#malware-database-scanner-mds
• Bruteforce protection on PAM level allows to fake auth responses to attackers and setting thresholds - https://blog.imunify360.com/preventing-brute-force-mail-attacks-with-new-pam-module-extension

While both ImunifyAV+ and Imunify360 come with professional technical support through our ticketing system, the Free version support is limited. Additionally ImunifyAV primarily targets malware detection to identify existing infections, and Imunify360 offers a comprehensive security suite designed to prevent incidents.

We also include on-demand cleanup services managed by our Remedy Team to improve on each case of malware
