Connect. Detect. Protect.

WP Guardian is a dedicated WordPress security tool crafted to secure websites hosted outside of cPanel & Plesk. It provides protection across servers, by offering virtual patches by Patchstack along with automated updates to WordPress plugins, themes and core. It addresses server-level risks arising from vulnerabilities in individual sites across multiple servers. This enhances security and simplifies site health management for WordPress users.

Serving as your first line of defense with proactive and automated WordPress security, WP Guardian can be integrated into your hosting package to create extra value, boost revenue and ensure utmost protection for your servers running without control panels or with custom/alternative ones.

Designed to connect, detect, and protect your WordPress sites, WP Guardian comes equipped with the dual threat detection from Patchstack and Wordfence databases. According to Wordfence the average WordPress site is attacked once every 23 minutes. 

According to Patchstack 99.4% of security vulnerabilities in the WordPress ecosystem originate from third-party plugins. With WP Guardian’s server level control, manual and automated Theme/Plugin/WordPress Core Updates and Patchstack-powered virtual patching you can rest assured that your servers and WordPress sites are always protected.

Simply streamline your security workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and optimize your WordPress sites for maximum security, with full infrastructure analysis and ready-to-go server integration to make it easy to keep an eye on your servers and sites – tracking security performance to make data-driven decisions going forward.

Above & Beyond WordPress Security

Whether you are missing server level security, or are worried about time consuming tasks becoming ever more costly and complex, it is crucial to maintain control and visibility over the security status of both sites and servers, all in one place. 

With WP Guardian, you’re not just getting a security tool; you’re getting a partner in your WordPress journey to provide the best possible service to your clients – designed not only to protect websites but also to enhance the overall hosting service and customer experience.

  • Multi-Server WordPress Protection with Revenue Potential: WP Guardian provides continuous vulnerability scanning server-wide and offers mass or individual updates for WordPress themes, plugins, and core. This not only ensures a secure environment but also unlocks pathways to growth and enhanced revenue for hosting providers – by providing safe WordPress hosting to your customers.
  • Lower Security Costs: WP Guardian automates management and offers non-intrusive virtual patching powered by Patchstack, reducing the need for WordPress (core/plugins/themes) updates which may cause problems with site functionality. WP Guardian reduces the need for manual work, or advanced expertise, thereby lowering security costs while maintaining a high level of protection.
  • Control & Visibility over hosted WP Sites: WP Guardian serves as the all seeing eye, scanning connected servers and identifying threats through Patchstack and Wordfence vulnerability databases. This enhances control and visibility, allowing for proactive security measures.
  • Build Trust & Enhance Reputation: By alleviating support requests, and elevating hosting service and customer trust with a solid product backed by a wealth of expertise, WP Guardian helps build trust and enhance reputation for hosting providers.

We aim to go above and beyond WordPress security to offer an intuitive interface that makes WordPress security management easier and more efficient than ever before.

Doing so, WP Guardian provides exceptional advantages that serve as a gateway to superior WordPress security and expanded revenue potential for hosting providers.

Our very own CTO of Cloud Platform and Incubation Projects, Jan Loeffler, kicked things off with his keynote presentation “WordPress by the Numbers.”

This guide to the galaxy of WordPress revealed there are over two billion hostnames worldwide, over 717 million of which are active within the WebPros domain database, and over 80 million of those hostnames are running WordPress as its primary CMS.

Jan went on to reveal some of our research, including that 60% of websites are built by web age

ncies and web professionals, and that over 80% of agencies resell hosting. It was also shared that 1 out of every 3 WordPress websites on the internet are powered by a WebPros control panel, either cPanel or Plesk.
