The saying may be to “Move fast and break things,” but Rapyd Cloud’s managed website hosting team knows that doesn’t have to be the case.
As a provider offering hyperspeed performance, Rapyd Cloud’s customers run complex WordPress sites with numerous dynamic plugins. They know it’s important to maintain plugins, but the process is never fast. Since their setups are complex, testing and applying updates often takes days.
How do they stay safe in the meantime?
With Rapyd Cloud’s Patchstack integration.
Updating plugins in complex environments takes time, and that leads to serious consequences. In 2023, thousands of WordPress sites were compromised due to a combined vulnerability. Updates were delayed, leaving users exposed even when they used traditional malware tools. Only sites using Patchstack’s proactive vPatching remained secure.
For Rapyd Cloud, security is an integral part of hosting. And since integrating Patchstack, they've seen it mitigate 1.3M+ vulnerabilities in only 6 months, saving their support teams more than 15 hours of work every week!
The challenge: Complex WordPress sites, critical plugins, and risky delays
Deploying updates in complex environments isn’t a “click-and-done” task. Every change requires careful testing to avoid breaking things. This often delays updates, leaving sites exposed.
In 2023, thousands of sites were compromised due to a vulnerability where updates were available, but complexity slowed deployments. Traditional malware tools couldn’t prevent the attacks. Only sites using proactive vPatching with Patchstack stayed protected.
For Rapyd Cloud, this proved that security couldn’t be an afterthought—it needed to be built in from the start.
The solution: Patchstack as an integrated aspect of Rapyd Cloud’s hosting offering
Rapyd Cloud’s standout feature is their custom Rapyd Dashboard. It’s a user-friendly interface bringing WordPress-dashboard-level functionality into a more intuitive experience.
To make Patchstack feel native to this dashboard, Rapyd Cloud worked closely with our team, leveraging the Patchstack App API. This allowed them to:
1️⃣
Automate deployment, licensing, and configuration of Patchstack for every site.
2️⃣
Display live vulnerability alerts and plugin update management directly in the dashboard as tangible proof of security.
3️⃣
Deliver a seamless, unified experience without requiring customers to toggle between tools.
The high level of automation has taken a significant load off their support and systems teams while ensuring every site is automatically protected the moment it goes live.
The results
Each patched vulnerability is a potential support issue that’s been avoided. Each attack prevented is a potential disaster recovery scenario that never had to happen.
And since integrating Patchstack, Rapyd Cloud has seen significant results:
- 15+ hours saved on support workload per week thanks to vulnerabilities being patched, and not causing issues on customers’ sites.
- 88,000 potential threat triggers per week mitigated by Patchstack’s vPatching.
- 1.3 million potential vulnerabilities patched over the last six months.
Thanks to the Patchstack integration with the Rapyd Dashboard, customers now get clear, real-time insights into their site’s security posture.
With Patchstack protection, Rapyd Cloud’s users receive:
👷 The breathing room to test updates properly without exposing their sites to risks.
📈 Greater trust in their chosen hosting platform.
💆 Peace of mind, knowing their businesses are protected against breaches.
Once Rapyd Cloud’s users experience this level of built-in security, it becomes a strong driver of trust and long-term product stickiness: peace of mind is not something they’d ever want to give up.
