Security threats don’t wait for updates, and now, neither does WP Squared.
We’re thrilled to announce that the WP Squared team has just rolled out Patchstack protection to deliver automated, proactive protection from plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities.
No need to wait for developers to issue fixes or scramble to update vulnerable plugins!
Raising the bar on WordPress security with an intuitive security experience

WP Squared is known for the comprehensive support and security coverage it provides to high-performing WordPress websites.
Now, thanks to Patchstack’s protection module integrated directly into their hosting dashboard, WP Squared can block threats proactively, even before updates are available, reducing the risk of exploits and dramatically shortening the window of exposure.
Unlike general-purpose firewalls, Patchstack’s protection is tailored for WordPress. It knows exactly how to defend against WordPress plugin and theme vulnerabilities, with surgical precision and zero false positives.
Integrated seamlessly into WP Squared, Patchstack’s vulnerability protection will alert users of vulnerable plugins and themes, as well as provide instant protection, giving them time to update the components safely.
Empowering WordPress agencies with next-gen security
Vulnerabilities are increasing year on year, and with AI in the mix, attackers are becoming more savvy.
Reactive protection is no longer enough, and WP Squared is taking strides to protect its users with Patchstack’s next-generation vulnerability mitigation tooling. Together, we’re building a safer, more resilient open web - one site at a time.

From alerts to protection: Seamless integration for WP Umbrella Users

WP Umbrella has long been a trusted management platform for WordPress professionals who want to handle multiple sites from one place. With bulk & safe updates, scheduled backups stored in Europe, and automated reporting, it already offered a complete toolkit for agencies working with WordPress.
Now, thanks to the integration of Patchstack’s real-time protection, WP Umbrella takes WordPress security to the next level by turning alerts into automatic defense.
When a known vulnerability is detected, sites are immediately shielded (even if the vulnerable plugin or theme hasn’t been updated yet).
This bridges the gap between awareness and action, a critical improvement for agencies and freelancers managing sites at scale. From uptime and performance to backups and security, everything is now centralized in one powerful interface.
