In this interview, Luke Langford, CEO of Monarx, explains why legacy solutions like Imunify, SiteLock, and similar products can end up costing hosting companies more than they seem. We discuss the technology, business model, and tradeoffs behind these tools, and why “good enough” security may no longer be good enough for modern hosting.
We also talk about missed malware, false positives, server load, weak upsell models, and the hidden costs many hosts have learned to live with. On top of that, AI is making threats move faster, which could widen the gap even more between tools that can keep up and tools that cannot.
