All of our cPanel servers run '''Imunify360''', a security suite that protects your website around the clock. It works automatically; you don't need to install or configure anything.

== What Imunify360 does ==

* '''Web application firewall.''' Blocks common attacks on websites, such as attempts to exploit WordPress plugins or guess passwords, before they reach your site.
* '''Malware scanning.''' Scans new and changed files as soon as they're written, and scans every account regularly. Files found to be infected are cleaned automatically, and a copy of the original is kept for 30 days.
* '''Proactive Defense.''' Watches PHP scripts as they run and stops malicious ones, even if the malware is new.
* '''Login protection.''' Blocks IP addresses that repeatedly fail to log in to cPanel, email or FTP.

== See what Imunify360 found ==

'''1.''' Log in to cPanel. See [[Log in to cPanel and WHM from the Client Area]].

'''2.''' In the '''Security''' section, click '''Imunify360'''.

'''3.''' Review any files listed as infected or cleaned.

To run your own scan as well, see [[Scan your website for malware]].

== If you or a visitor are blocked ==

Sometimes a visitor's IP address is blocked, for example after several failed logins or after their network sent suspicious traffic. Instead of the website, they see a page asking them to prove they're human. Completing it unblocks their IP address.

If someone is still blocked, or you can't reach your own website, cPanel, email or FTP, please [[Open a support ticket|open a support ticket]] and include the IP address that's blocked. You can find your IP address by searching "what is my IP" in a search engine.

== Keep your website safe ==

Imunify360 is a strong safety net, but the best protection is keeping your website up to date:
* Update your website software, such as WordPress, and all its plugins and themes regularly. Remove any you don't use.
* Use strong, unique passwords, and turn on two-factor authentication for cPanel and the Client Area. See [[Secure your Client Area account]].
* Keep backups. See [[Restore files, databases and email with JetBackup]].
