What Is Imunify360?
It is a security suite with tools and services to protect your Linux-powered web server against malicious attacks. It is primarily a paid solution, but it also provides some free tools if you want to utilize some of its capabilities.
Some web servers already have Imunify-360 integration enabled. And, in some cases, you will have the option to opt for it as per the requirements separately.
Hence, choosing a web hosting platform that already offers Imunify360 as part of its security features should make the experience hassle-free while saving you some investment costs.
