Imunify Security Plugin

The Imunify Security WordPress Plugin is a tool designed to bridge the gap between server-level security (Imunify360/ImunifyAV) and your WordPress dashboard, making complex security data visible and understandable right where you manage your site. It acts as a reporting and visualization layer for the Imunify security suite already running on your hosting server.


  • Server-Level Protection: The heavy lifting (firewall, malware scanning, proactive defense) is done by Imunify360 or ImunifyAV on the server, protecting all websites hosted there.
  • WordPress Plugin: This plugin displays the results of that server-side protection directly inside your WordPress admin area



How to enable the Imunify Security Plugin via the WHM Dashboard


Please note that the Shared Hosting account will need to notify the Serverfreak administrator to enable the feature on the WHM dashboard.



The plugin is not available in the WordPress plugin repository. To install:


  1. Navigate to Imunify360 settings in your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel).

  2. Tick the Install WordPress plugin checkbox and click Save changes.
