New to Patchstack?
In case you’ve used WordPress Toolkit before (and maybe other products by Plesk and cPanel), but haven’t heard about Patchstack before – allow us to give you a short introduction.
Patchstack is a security software built to detect vulnerabilities in open-source components such as WordPress plugins, themes, and WordPress core. Patchstack also owns the leading WordPress vulnerability database and runs the first bug bounty program for WordPress plugins.
Once you connect your website with Patchstack, it will regularly scan the site for security vulnerabilities to apply automatic security patches if anything is found. You can connect all your websites for free or download the plugin from the official WordPress repository.
