Description

The Jetpack Protect addon scans WordPress core, plugins, and themes from your child sites for known vulnerabilities, cross-referencing each item with the WPScan database and centralizing the results in the MainWP panel. Built for agencies and administrators managing dozens or hundreds of installations, the component runs automatic scans every 24 hours and exposes the threat count directly in the Overview screen columns.

Key Features

  • Detection via WPScan database

  • Guidance for remediation

Benefits of the Jetpack Protect Extension

  • Consolidated security view
    Centralizes the vulnerability status of the entire network on a single MainWP screen.
  • Faster incident response
    Helps identify and prioritize compromised sites before they’re exploited.
  • Less manual checking
    Eliminates the need to log into each wp-admin to verify patch status.
  • Routine standardization
    Keeps a fixed cadence of 24-hour scans across your portfolio of child sites.

Who Is It For?

  • Agencies and freelancers that maintain multiple WordPress sites under maintenance contracts.
  • Network administrators with dozens or hundreds of installations who need centralized vulnerability monitoring.
  • Operations teams that already use MainWP as a hub and want to add an automated security scan layer.

Integrated into MainWP’s multi-site management workflow, the component requires installing the Jetpack Protect plugin on the child sites and, in return, provides a continuous inventory of weak points in the core, plugins, and themes. For those managing many WordPress sites, it’s an observability layer that trades site-by-site login for direct reading in the dashboard.
