If you work in a hosting company, you know the drill. A critical WordPress vulnerability gets disclosed, and within hours, your support team is flooded with tickets. Clients panic. Sites go down. Your team scrambles to clean up the mess.
It’s exhausting. It’s expensive. And it’s completely avoidable.
In a recent case study, a global media brand operating one of the largest press platforms in the world flipped the script. Crowd Favorite delivered a custom enterprise WordPress solution, Pagely focused on top-tier hosting, and Patchstack integration stepped in to stop attacks before they happened.
Through the combined efforts of Crowd Favorite, Pagely, and Patchstack, we transformed a fragmented, outdated system into a modern, composable enterprise platform, ensuring operations remain efficient, scalable, and secure for years to come.
The solution has been delivering value for years:

How one of the world’s largest media brands stays secure without lifting a finger
Take the case of a global media brand running one of the largest press platforms in the world. Millions of digital assets. Thousands of press users. Zero room for downtime.
Their hosting provider, Pagely, knew that traditional security approaches wouldn’t cut it. They needed something proactive, something that would keep WordPress secure without breaking sites or waiting for plugin developers to issue fixes.
So they integrated Patchstack.
With real-time vulnerability monitoring, automated virtual patches (highly targeted security rules), and seamless integration into hosting workflows, Patchstack ensures that enterprise WordPress environments stay protected by:
🔍 Monitoring vulnerabilities in real time across all hosted sites.
🛡️ Automatically deploying highly-targeted security rules that block traffic aiming to exploit vulnerable plugins.
💬 Providing an open line of communications between hosts and Patchstack’s security team.
How Patchstack gives hosts the upper hand in managing enterprise websites
1️⃣
Know about vulnerabilities before they can be used in attacks
Patchstack continuously scans enterprise WordPress environments, identifying vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them.
Hosting teams get instant alerts about risks and can act before they become a problem (if they haven’t integrated real-time protection yet).
🔑 Key advantage: As the #1 CNA (vulnerability processor) in 2023 and 2024, Patchstack rewards ethical hackers for proactively identifying plugin vulnerabilities, so your clients stay ahead of threats.
Data is at the core of what we do – we’re the fastest to protect because we know about vulnerabilities before any other company.
2️⃣
Automated virtual patching
While the case study client, the global media brand, has developers who act on the notifications, Patchstack’s other hosting clients also receive real-time protection.
No site wants to be down, and this is especially critical for content-heavy websites.
WordPress updates can be risky; sometimes a security patch causes compatibility issues, breaking critical functionality. But waiting to update isn’t an option, either. Hackers start automated attacks within hours of a vulnerability disclosure.
That’s where Patchstack’s virtual patching comes in.
🔹 Instead of altering site code, virtual patches block exploit attempts at the traffic level. Your clients stay protected while they test updates, eliminating downtime and risk.
🔑 Key advantage: Ultra-fast processing (0.11 milliseconds on PHP 8+) means security without performance trade-offs.
3️⃣
Seamless integration into your workflow
Patchstack doesn’t add complexity; it removes security burdens by working directly within hosting provider workflows:
✅ Continuous monitoring alerts your team (or clients) in real time.
✅ Compliance-ready security policies to meet enterprise standards.
✅ Direct collaboration with Patchstack’s security team for instant threat response.
Why hosting providers rely on Patchstack
Companies like Pagely, Veebimajutus, Cloudways, Hostinger, and Rapyd Cloud trust Patchstack because it makes security effortless. With Patchstack, hosting providers can:
- Scale security while reducing the support load, so their teams can focus on performance and growth.
- Stop threats before they cause damage, reducing the need for costly cleanup or reputation damages.
- Minimize downtime and security incidents.
- Monetize security or offer it as a selling point and an income diversification stream.
