Imunify Security WordPress Plugin V2 Launches

When we launched the Imunify Security WordPress Plugin, our goal was clear: make security visible to site owners by showcasing the protection hosting providers deliver with Imunify360.

After rapidly reaching 50,000 installations, we are excited to share that over 260,000 WordPress websites now have the plugin installed and active.

And now, we're ready for V2.

What’s New in V2?

Now Available for ImunifyAV, ImunifyAV+, and Imunify360

Previously exclusive to Imunify360, the plugin now extends to all Imunify versions, providing visibility and reassurance to every site owner directly within their WordPress dashboard.

New Dedicated Plugin Page Inside WordPress

V2 introduces a dedicated plugin page in the WordPress admin area called Imunify Security, providing site owners with a clear view of how they are protected.

Malware Scanner View

The new malware scanner view shows details of detected and cleaned threats.

Proactive Defense View

This view displays what Proactive Defense has blocked or neutralized in real-time, increasing transparency and trust.

What Your Customers Will See

The plugin experience is tailored to the version of Imunify protecting the server, ensuring a clear and relevant view for every site owner.

• Imunify360: See the Malware Scanner and the real-time Proactive Defense event viewer.
• ImunifyAV+: Can view detailed malware scanning and cleanup results.
• ImunifyAV: Get visibility into the malware threats detected on their site.

Why This Matters for Hosting Providers

The Imunify Security plugin does more than just display data; it transforms your security investment from an invisible server-side solution into a tangible, value-added feature for your customers. By making your commitment to security visible, you directly impact customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and brand loyalty.

• Turn an Invisible Cost into a Visible Value.
  Your customers may not know about the powerful Imunify protection you provide in the background. This plugin makes that protection visible, constantly reminding them of the value you deliver every day. When customers see that their site is being protected from real threats, they are less likely to churn and more likely to view your service as a premium, security-focused solution.
• Reduce Security-Related Support Tickets.
  By making security visible, you empower customers to answer some of their own questions. Instead of contacting support and asking, "Am I hacked?" or "Is my site being scanned?", they can now see a log of malware scans and blocked threats directly inside their WordPress admin. This transparency preempts common support inquiries and frees up your technical team to handle more complex issues.
• Strengthen Your Brand as a Security Partner.
  Transparency builds trust. By showing customers how you are protecting them, you elevate your brand from a hosting provider to a proactive partner. This strengthens loyalty and provides a powerful edge in a crowded market.
