Share

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Monarx, a leading authority in real-time security solutions for web applications.

Around 390,000 WordPress websites fall victim to hacking every month

Sophos

This is an alarming statistic that underscores the relentless battle for digital security.

While the precise statistic may send shivers down your spine, the urgency of securing your website remains undeniable.

Our collaboration with Monarx will ensure that your WordPress websites remain fast, responsive, and impenetrable even in the face of the most sophisticated threats.

Let's get to know more about Monarx and how it will help to keep websites hosted on Levamo secure.

What is Monarx?

Monarx

Monarx is a cutting-edge security solution for web hosting. It employs advanced technology to comprehensively understand and prevent malicious activities, offering complete protection for your website.

Unlike traditional security tools, Monarx operates in real-time and employs a signature-less approach. This means it doesn't rely on predefined patterns to identify threats; instead, it comprehensively understands the behavior of files and code on your website. This advanced technology allows Monarx to detect and prevent malicious activities that may have previously gone unnoticed.

The Monarx Agent stays deeply embedded within the PHP engine on the servers, granting it a complete and up-to-the-minute view of web application activity. It can pinpoint precisely what is happening on your site, from code execution to user interactions, allowing it to respond rapidly to emerging threats. Furthermore, Monarx doesn't just react to known issues; it proactively neutralizes payloads from zero-day exploits, offering a level of security that's always one step ahead of cybercriminals.

What Does This Partnership Mean for You

Levamo with Monarx

Unmatched Security: With Monarx's signature-less, real-time protection, your WordPress websites hosted with Levamo are now fortified against a wider array of threats than ever before. From known threats to zero-day exploits, Monarx keeps your online presence secure.

Malware Eradication: In the unfortunate event that your website falls victim to malware, Monarx's precise removal capabilities ensure that your site is swiftly cleaned, without any data loss or service disruptions.

Smart Prevention: Traditional security measures can sometimes lead to false positives or disrupt legitimate user interactions. Monarx's context-aware "smart" prevention minimizes these inconveniences by understanding the context in which threats occur, allowing genuine traffic to flow uninterrupted.

Global Threat Intelligence: Levamo's partnership with Monarx connects your website to a global network of threat intelligence. This network, powered by Monarx-enabled servers everywhere, means that emerging threats are identified and neutralized faster than ever, ensuring that your site remains one step ahead of cybercriminals.

Resource Efficiency: Monarx's integration directly into the PHP engine is designed to be light on your servers. This means that while providing top-tier security, it won't compromise the performance or resource availability of your website.

Our partnership with Monarx is a game-changer for you. With the integration of Monarx into our managed WordPress hosting services, you no longer need to invest in additional security tools or worry about managing multiple security solutions.

Why Levamo Chose Monarx

Now let's take a look at the specific reason why we choose to partner with Monarx rather than any other tools on the market.

Real Time Detection: Many security providers use patterns or signatures to catch threats. Monarx does better with zero-day exploits detected using behavior analysis. Server-Level Integration: Monarx works within the PHP engine with minimal resource overhead, which is important for high-speed hosting, like on the Levamo. Continuous Innovation: Like us, Monarx is always updating its technologies to stay ahead of new threats. Our commitment to innovation made this partnership easy.

Looking Ahead

Cybercriminals continue to refine their methods, and security solutions must keep up. With Monarx on board, we've built defenses for today and built defenses for tomorrow too.

The Levamo will continue to:

  • Partner with the most advanced security research and tools.

  • Maintain world-class speed and low latency performance.

  • Offer slick user experiences, from intuitive dashboards to automated WordPress maintenance.

If you are not yet a Levamo customer, it's time to get hyper-speed performance and real-time security with our secure WordPress hosting.

FAQ

What is a Monarx?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monarx?
Monarx is a real-time, signature-less security solution for web applications. Instead of matching predefined threat patterns, it analyzes how files and code behave on your site and blocks malicious activity as it happens.
How is Monarx different from signature-based security tools?

It integrates directly into the PHP engine and is designed to be light on server resources, so it can run without eating into the performance headroom your site needs.

Monarx targets malware precisely, so an affected site can be cleaned quickly with the aim of avoiding data loss or a service interruption for your visitors.
