<h3>Instant protection against disclosed vulnerabilities</h3>
<p><a href="https://defendwp.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">DefendWP.org</a> is a WordPress plugin that protects your website from hackers exploiting vulnerable code on your website. Security research companies discover vulnerabilities and notify plugin developers to patch them. After some time, they disclose the vulnerability to the public, allowing you to update your plugins. However, this system has flaws. Once vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed, hackers rush to exploit the sites in which you haven’t yet applied the patch.</p>
<h4>A Better Approach: Immediate Protection for All Users</h4>
<p>To solve this, our plugin pushes firewall rules and patches as soon as vulnerabilities are disclosed, ensuring websites are protected without waiting for an official patch. This protection is silent and automatic, ensuring that you are not affected even if you don’t take any immediate action.</p>
<ol>
<li>Immediate Patches Upon Disclosure: When vulnerabilities are disclosed, our plugin pushes patches or firewall rules that prevent exploitation.</li>
<li>Silent Protection: We operate in the background, allowing plugin developers to roll out patches at their own pace without compromising user security.</li>
<li>Free and Accessible: Security should not be a privilege. Our plugin is free and accessible and ensures that all WordPress users are protected from newly disclosed vulnerabilities.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Protecting Everyone, Not Just the Privileged Few</h3>
<p>Security should not be reserved for those who can afford premium services. The spirit of WordPress is inclusivity, and this should extend to security as well. When vulnerabilities are disclosed, they pose a risk to every website, regardless of its owner’s resources. Every WordPress user should have access to immediate protection.</p>
<p>Security researchers play a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities, but the current system leaves too many users exposed. Our approach aims to create a safer WordPress ecosystem for all, by closing the gap between vulnerability disclosure and patching.</p>
<p>This isn’t about taking credit—it’s about prioritizing the safety of small business owners, bloggers, and entrepreneurs who rely on WordPress. By silently closing the vulnerability gap, we aim for a future where WordPress security is accessible to everyone.</p>
<p>Let’s build a safer WordPress ecosystem together—one that protects all users, not just the privileged few.</p>
