## Proactive Protection

Safeguarding your web server and site is critical due to the constant emergence of new threats. Malware and vulnerabilities can drastically impact your business’s credibility and safety online. To help protect you, in addition to the “Detect” option, InMotion Hosting’s Monarx Security also provides a proactive solution. With “Protect” mode, Monarx promptly detects, isolates, and cleans your site to prevent harm without human intervention. Alternatively, you can have your developer or site administrator perform a file scan or implement your chosen security solution.
