What is Patchstack?
Patchstack is a vulnerability detection and mitigation solution for WordPress sites. As the #1 vulnerability intelligence provider in the WordPress ecosystem, it has the advantage to know about the latest security vulnerabilities first. Patchstack then prioritizes the vulnerabilities for it’s users and alerts them when ever a website has become compromised.
Additional to vulnerability detection and prioritization, Patchstack automatically mitigates security vulnerabilities with its vPatches that close down vulnerabilities even when official fixes are not available. It does all that without changing any code on the website, nor cause any performance impact and false-positives.
Scanning and Threat Detection
One of the key advantages of Patchstack is its ability to scan websites, use its extensive database, and identify potential security concerns in versions of plugins, themes, or WordPress core to proactively mitigate them before they can be exploited by hackers. This feature ensures that websites are protected against both known and emerging threats.
WordPress Vulnerabilities
Patchstack protects the integrity of fully managed WordPress sites by keeping security measures up to date when new managed WordPress releases may create compromising security issues.
Plugin and Theme Patching
Patchstack monitors, patches, and updates plugins and themes to prevent potential security loopholes or threats that can arise if not updated regularly.
Immediate Migration with vPatches
If a vulnerability is detected, Patchstack sends vpatches to sites which mitigate the concern even if a site is not updated. If an issue is detected that does not have a patch, it provides a virtual patch that can temporarily fix issues until official patches can be released, reducing any opportunity for cyber criminals to find and exploit.
Real-Time Security Alerts
Patchstack offers real-time security alerts of malicious or suspicious activities, providing the opportunity to take action and protect websites from potential breaches.
Centralized Security Management
Patchstack provides a centralized security management dashboard that allows for monitoring and management of security from one place.
With the help of Patchstack, you can streamline processes and fortify an online presence against potential threats. When it is integrated into WordPress Speed Optimization Services or WordPress Maintenance Services, its impact is multiplied.
