What is Monarx Security?
Monarx is security software for hosting environments. It helps identify malicious website code by analysing what that code does. Drechthosting uses Monarx alongside Imunify on its cPanel environment as part of a layered approach.
Why malware matters
Malware is malicious code that can appear in a website without an obvious change to its homepage. Hidden phishing pages, unwanted redirects and backdoors can put your site and visitors at risk.
The effect on visitors
An infection may send visitors to unwanted pages and damage trust in your business. Investigate unusual behaviour promptly. SSL encrypts information in transit but does not establish that every file on a website is safe.
How it fits into our hosting
Monarx and Imunify support malware monitoring; Backuply supports recovery through backup copies. Detection and recovery serve different purposes. Required action depends on the incident and available options. This is not a promise that every threat is automatically removed.
Steps you can take
Update your website system, themes and extensions. Use unique passwords and two-factor authentication where available. Limit access, remove unused accounts and install software from trusted sources. Hosting security supports these measures rather than replacing maintenance.
Responding to a warning
Contact us with your domain, the warning and the time it appeared. Keep passwords out of screenshots. Avoid deleting files blindly, because legitimate website files can contain injected code. Agree a recovery plan, check access and fix the underlying vulnerability. Restoring an old backup alone may allow the same problem to return.
