Security exists so client sites stay safe, without turning maintenance into a constant emergency. It's built for agencies who need to spot real risks early, understand what matters, and act deliberately across many sites.
WP Umbrella continuously scans your sites for known WordPress vulnerabilities and security issues, covering core, plugins, and themes.
Risks are surfaced directly in your maintenance workflow, with enough context to understand what's affected and how severe the issue is.
Virtual patching is available through Site Protect, WP Umbrella's security add-on powered by Patchstack. It extends core security visibility with active risk mitigation.
Security events and actions are tracked, so risks can be reviewed, addressed, and explained later.
Unlike traditional malware scanners that only react once it's too late - security is integrated into the maintenance workflow in WP Umbrella, so sites stay safe before issues turn into incidents.
WP Umbrella is designed to help agencies:

Most agencies start by enabling security visibility across all client sites, then introduce virtual patching and structured remediation as needed.
WP Umbrella detects known vulnerabilities affecting WordPress core, plugins, and themes, using trusted vulnerability data sources like Patchstack.
Virtual patching reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities without modifying plugin or theme code, giving agencies time to plan proper updates.
When Site Protect is enabled, WP Umbrella can replace traditional WordPress security plugins. WP Umbrella does not replace hosting-level security or network firewalls. Those remain part of the hosting infrastructure, as well as malware scanning.
