InMotion Hosting expands Monarx ThreatShield deployment across server fleet
InMotion Hosting says it is deploying Monarx ThreatShield across its server infrastructure as part of an expanded partnership that began in 2021.
InMotion Hosting said Aug. 24 that it is expanding its security partnership with Monarx by deploying Monarx ThreatShield across its server fleet.
The company said the system adds runtime application protection against web attacks and is intended to identify and stop malicious activity inside the application runtime, rather than only before a request reaches an application. InMotion Hosting said the rollout is meant to protect customers and reduce the operational burden tied to compromised websites.
Why it matters
InMotion Hosting said the approach gives it visibility into what a request is trying to do after it reaches an application and helps terminate activity that appears malicious.
The company said that in the first year of its work with Monarx, it saw a 40% reduction in security-related customer support cases. The release said Monarx technology has also helped reduce manual intervention tied to malware, phishing, abuse and other malicious activity.
Context and background
The release said the partnership between InMotion Hosting and Monarx began in 2021. It described Monarx as a developer of server security technology for hosting providers.
According to the release, Monarx’s platform includes malware detection and remediation, SmartWAF, and application- and network-level protection. InMotion Hosting said ThreatShield adds runtime application protection to that stack.
InMotion Hosting said it is privately held and independent since 2001. The company said it designs, owns and operates its own bare-metal hardware and private network and serves more than 170,000 customers worldwide.
What officials said
Trey Faison, director of products at InMotion Hosting, said the company was excited to be part of Monarx’s early development and that deploying ThreatShield across the fleet is another step toward what he called integral advanced protection.
Monarx said the partnership continuing to grow is exciting and that ThreatShield brings protection into the application runtime to stop modern attacks before they become compromises.
What happens next
The release did not give a timeline for completion of the deployment or say whether the rollout will affect all customer services at once.
