About Patchstack
What is Patchstack?
Patchstack is a WordPress security platform that automatically detects and mitigates vulnerabilities before they are exploited. It uses RapidMitigate, a system of over 12,000 targeted mitigation rules, to block attacks even when no official patch exists or updates haven't been applied. The platform is built on the largest open-source vulnerability intelligence network, patching up to 48 hours before public disclosure.
What problem does it solve?
WordPress sites are frequently attacked through plugins and themes with known vulnerabilities. Many of these have no patch available (33%), or patches exist but are not applied due to compatibility concerns or time delays. Patchstack eliminates the risk by automatically deploying virtual patches that neutralize the threat without changing your code, preventing exploits, downtime, and costly cleanups.
Who is it for?
Patchstack is ideal for developers, agencies, MSPs, and web hosts that manage multiple WordPress sites and need scalable, hands-off security. It's not for beginners who want a traditional all-in-one security plugin with site scanning and backups—it's laser-focused on vulnerability mitigation. For individuals, Patchstack is available through partners and resellers.
Real use cases
Agencies protect client sites from zero-day exploits and reduce support tickets. Web hosts integrate Patchstack's widget to alert customers about vulnerabilities and offer paid security as a revenue stream. Enterprises use it for compliance (PCI-DSS 4.0) and to meet service-level agreements without false positives or performance hits.
