Every server admin knows the feeling. You get a security alert for a critical website. Maybe it’s a high-traffic e-commerce store, a client’s site with years of content, or your own business hub - and now, it’s vulnerable.
Worse, you know this isn't a simple case of clicking "update." This site runs on an older version of WordPress with a dozen custom plugins. Or maybe it's a Joomla site with a heavily modified theme that will absolutely shatter if you touch it.
You’re stuck. Do you risk the downtime, the unexpected bugs, and the expensive developer fees that come with a high-stakes manual update? Or do you cross your fingers, hope your firewall holds, and live with the constant, low-grade anxiety that you’re just one automated attack away from disaster?
For years, this has been a frustrating dilemma in website management. You were forced to choose between security and stability.
We knew there had to be a better way.
The existing solutions, while valuable, don't solve this specific problem.
Manual updates are the gold standard for security, but they’re a minefield for customized or legacy sites. They don’t just patch the vulnerability; they replace entire blocks of code or even complete files, often breaking the very customizations that make the site work.
Virtual Patching with Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are an essential layer of defense. They act as a filter, blocking malicious requests that try to exploit a known vulnerability. But they don't fix the underlying problem. The vulnerable code remains on your server, and a sufficiently clever attacker can often find a way to bypass the filter.
A filter is good. A cure is better.
That's why we’re excited to announce the launch of Imunify Patch, a new add-on for the Imunify platform.
Imunify Patch takes a completely different approach. Instead of filtering attacks or forcing a risky full version upgrade, it applies a microscopic, targeted patch directly to the vulnerable lines of source code.
Think of it this way: a WAF puts a better guard in front of a broken door. Imunify Patch fixes the door.
The vulnerability is eliminated at its root, with no changes to your software version numbers and zero impact on your site's performance.
By fixing the code itself, Imunify Patch gives you the freedom to manage your servers without the impossible trade-offs.
Imunify Patch is now available as an addon for ImunifyAV, ImunifyAV+, and Imunify360 for VPS and Dedicated server owners with WHM/cPanel.
Activating it is simple. When Imunify detects a vulnerability on your server, it automatically sends an iContact message to your WHM/cPanel contact address with the details, including a direct link you can use to subscribe.
You can also enable it at any time directly in your control panel:
This is just the beginning. Our team is already working hard on the next phase of Imunify Patch, focusing on:
