shadowscan

<p>ShadowScan Security Link gives you ShadowScan Guard local WordPress hardening for plugin auto-updates, username enumeration reduction, version/plugin exposure reduction, sensitive-file blocking, and basic connection/self-check diagnostics.</p>
<p>The plugin supports dual backend pairing with both Guard and ShadowScan. Pair with Guard backend for Guard-specific features, or connect to ShadowScan Portal to sync heartbeat status and unlock managed features for sites with an active Essential or Premium plan, or an approved reviewed pricing path. Basic Hosting can stay hosting-only, while ShadowScan Guard local hardening remains available in the plugin until managed entitlements are active.</p>
<p>Pairing the plugin and enabling remote diagnostics each require an explicit administrator acknowledgment in WP Admin. Those checkpoints are covered by the <a href="https://shadowscan.com.au/plugin-addendum" rel="nofollow ugc">ShadowScan Plugin Addendum</a>.</p>
<p>ShadowScan does not install, activate, or configure third-party security tools. If another security plugin is present, the connector only records its presence as metadata.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can connect to external services to sync status, process security workflows, and support optional diagnostics after an admin pairs the site to ShadowScan.</p>

Malware Intercept

<h3>Malcure Security</h3>
<p>★★★★★</p>
<p>Protect your WordPress site from hacks and downtime.</p>
<p>Malcure Security Suite is a fast, lightweight, cloud-connected security platform for WordPress. It performs deep server-side scans (files + database) to catch malware and unauthorized changes, allows you to monitor login activity, enables a site-wide forced re-login after incidents, and sends email alerts of incidents upon scan. Built for commercial workloads—WooCommerce stores, memberships, LMS, bookings, directories, and multi-vendor marketplaces—it plays nicely with caching/CDNs and won’t get in the way of checkout, lessons, or bookings.</p>
<h3>What Malcure Security Suite Focuses On</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Detect:</strong> Deep server-side malware scans (files + database), integrity/diff checks, and vulnerabilities.</li>
<li><strong>Control:</strong> Session analytics (user/IP/device), Emergency Logout (everyone except you), rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate tokens, and force site-wide re-login post-incident. Compatible with 2FA/SSO.</li>
<li><strong>Report:</strong> Clear, actionable summaries with exact file paths and reasons, email alerts with next steps, and audit-friendly logs for teams and compliance (coming-soon).</li>
<li><strong>Logging:</strong> Event logs with identifiable and traceable details.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works (SaaS)</h3>
<ol>
<li>Secure Handshake: Your site authenticates with Malcure and pulls fresh threat intelligence (signatures, heuristics, rules and analysis).</li>
<li>Local-first scanning: Scans your files and database in the background.</li>
<li>Severity-ranked results: Findings are grouped by Critical/High/Medium/Low with exact specs, the reason they were flagged, and one-click actions plus email alerts and audit-ready logs.</li>
<li>Graceful: If the cloud is temporarily unreachable, Malcure Security Suite continues with last-known rules and logs locally until it reconnects.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Deep server-side malware scans (files + database) using tuned signatures + heuristics.</li>

<li>Low overhead by design; preserves Core Web Vitals and optimized to minimize impact on site speed</li>
<li>Session management: see who’s logged in, from where.</li>
<li>Emergency Logout: one-click sign-out (everyone except you); rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate sessions.</li>
<li>Robust Event Monitor.</li>
<li>Optimal Dark Mode.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>Signature + heuristic detection for obfuscated/injected PHP/JS (backdoor/web-shell traits).</li>
<li>Database scan of options, postmeta, posts, and comments for malicious payloads.</li>
<li>Email notifications for critical events and scan results</li>
<li>Security status panel (permissions, environment)</li>
<li>Compatible with WooCommerce, LearnDash/TutorLMS, MemberPress/PMP, major booking/event plugins, WPML/Polylang, Elementor/Divi/Block Editor, and caching/CDNs (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, NGINX FastCGI, Cloudflare).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Premium (Pro)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Scheduled scans (daily/weekly/monthly) with summary emails.</li>
<li>WP-CLI automation for headless/CI workflows and cron.</li>
