We’re pleased to announce a new version of Imunify360, version 5.11, is now available. The following features are new in the v5.11 release:
This is what we’ve updated in version 5.11:
We strive to deliver the best security solution to customers, while making sure that it consumes as little resources as possible. Thus, our goal is to achieve lower CPU and RAM resource usage as well as ensure shortest possible response time.
To reach that goal we optimized the way Proactive Defense processes PHP execution flow. The signatures were reworked, and malicious sequences lookup was reworked to gain extra performance. Version 5.11 shows up to 35% faster response time in tests compared with the previous version of Proactive Defense. We are now taking one of several steps planned towards boosting performance of Proactive Defense.
To switch on the feature through the CLI, use the following command:
imunify360-agent config update '{"MALWARE_SCANNING": {"hyperscan": true}}'
To switch off the feature through the CLI, use the following command:
imunify360-agent config update '{"MALWARE_SCANNING": {"hyperscan": false}}'
This improvement reduces the consumption of server resources, ensuring smoother functioning.
By changing our malware scanner algorithms we are making the scan process smarter.
When a cleanup attempt happens repeatedly without success, it happens no more than four times in 24 hours. This avoids excessive server load and reduces the clutter of messages in the user interface in case of improper server configuration.
As a consequence of introducing this feature, we expect the user experience while working with the product to become better while overall CPU load will be reduced.
In the previous versions of Imunify360 there was a lot of service information available for the users and admins that looked excessive. The information was designed for analytics only and caused questions from users periodically.
Thus we decided to rework the logging logic of Imunify360 agent. Starting from v5.11 there will be less OSSEC-related service messages in the UI on the Incidents tab. All service messages with noshow tag will be collected but not displayed in the UI. This action will allow us to keep getting information about system events allowing us to make better security decisions on a product side and allow the administrator to concentrate on important security events.
Imunify360 v.5.11 includes 32 tasks and 9 bug fixes.
