Maximum WordPress security with Imunify360 WordPress WAF
At Mediawax, the security of your website comes first. That is why we have enhanced our security with the WordPress WAF from Imunify360. This new component automatically blocks attacks targeting known vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins and themes.
How does it work? Thanks to virtual patching, vulnerable websites are protected immediately. As soon as an attacker attempts to exploit a vulnerability in an outdated plugin, the WAF blocks the request before it reaches the site's code. This keeps your site safe, even if you forget to update it once in a while.
Free for all customers: Included with your hosting package.
No worries: Automatically activated via the Imunify Security plugin.
Plug-and-play: No extra configuration required.
The Risk of Outdated Plugins (and How We Solve This)
Vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins and themes are the most common entry point for attackers worldwide. As soon as a security flaw is made public, a critical period arises: the time between the discovery of the vulnerability and the moment the update is actually installed. In practice, we see that this often takes days or even weeks, putting a website at unnecessary risk.
An Operational Challenge
When a website is not updated immediately, this has direct consequences for the stability and security of the server. Malware infections lead to complex recovery efforts, compromised accounts, and an additional burden on our support team. A security flaw affecting a single user can thus become an operational challenge for the entire hosting platform.
The Solution: WordPress WAF
To eliminate this risk, we have implemented the WordPress WAF. This firewall acts as an immediate shield. It bridges the gap between the release of a vulnerability and the installation of an update, preventing vulnerabilities from becoming a problem.
Visible Protection in the WordPress Dashboard
Site owners see their WordPress WAF protection directly in the Imunify Security plugin inside their WordPress admin dashboard. They can see which rules are triggered on their site and the details of the incidents.
