Hosted.com® has expanded its website security infrastructure by integrating Monarx and Imunify360 across its Web Hosting and WordPress Hosting services. The enhanced security framework is designed to provide businesses, developers, freelancers, and startups with stronger protection against AI-powered cyberattacks, zero-day vulnerabilities, malware, phishing campaigns, and other emerging online threats.
As cybercriminals increasingly leverage artificial intelligence and automation to identify vulnerabilities and launch attacks at scale, website owners face growing challenges in protecting their online assets. Hosted.com®'s latest security enhancements aim to deliver proactive, server-level protection that detects and responds to threats before they can compromise websites.
Addressing the Rise of AI-Driven Cyber Threats
Artificial intelligence has transformed the cybersecurity landscape, enabling attackers to automate vulnerability scanning, exploit software weaknesses, and launch sophisticated malware campaigns faster than ever before. Zero-day vulnerabilities—security flaws that are exploited before software developers release patches—pose an even greater risk, particularly for small businesses without dedicated IT security teams.
Hosted.com® said its expanded security platform is built to minimize these risks through automated threat detection, continuous monitoring, intelligent traffic filtering, malware removal, daily backups, and integrated recovery tools.
Monarx Delivers Automated Malware Detection
As part of the enhanced security stack, Monarx continuously monitors websites and hosting servers for suspicious behavior, malicious code, and infected files. The platform automatically detects threats that could be used to gain unauthorized access, inject harmful scripts, redirect visitors to phishing websites, or distribute malware and ransomware.
When malicious activity is identified, Monarx helps isolate and remove compromised files before they can spread or cause further damage.
Imunify360 Adds Advanced Server Protection
Hosted.com® has also integrated Imunify360, providing multiple layers of server security through:
- Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Continuous malware scanning
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- File quarantine
- Intelligent traffic monitoring
- Protection against SQL injection attacks
- Defense against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
These features help safeguard websites, databases, web applications, and popular Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress from evolving cyber threats.
Proactive Security Instead of Reactive Protection
By combining Monarx and Imunify360, Hosted.com® has developed a comprehensive security framework that continuously monitors server activity in real time rather than relying solely on scheduled scans or post-incident cleanup.
The platform is designed to detect suspicious behavior, block malicious traffic, quarantine infected files, and minimize potential damage before attacks can impact website performance or customer data.
Built-In Website Protection
In addition to its expanded malware protection, Hosted.com® includes several essential security features with its hosting plans, including:
- Daily automatic website backups
- Free SSL Certificates
- 1-Click Security tools
- Website update management
- Website export support
Daily backups provide customers with a reliable recovery option in the event of malware infections, accidental file deletion, failed software updates, or other unexpected incidents.
Meanwhile, SSL Certificates encrypt sensitive information transmitted between websites and visitors, helping secure login credentials, customer information, and online transactions while improving visitor trust.
Simplifying Website Security for Businesses
Hosted.com® said its goal is to make enterprise-grade website security accessible to businesses of all sizes. Rather than requiring customers to manually monitor threats, manage backups, or respond to security incidents themselves, the platform automates many critical protection tasks through integrated server-level technologies.
The company believes website security should be built directly into the hosting environment, especially as AI-assisted attacks and zero-day exploits become more frequent and sophisticated.
"Website security can't depend on noticing a problem only after damage has already been done. With Monarx and Imunify360, Hosted.com® has added automated protection that helps detect threats earlier, including the types of AI and zero-day attacks that are becoming faster and more difficult to manage manually," said Wayne Diamond, CEO of Hosted.com®.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, Hosted.com® remains focused on delivering a secure, reliable hosting platform through continuous threat detection, prevention, isolation, recovery, and expert support for customers worldwide.
