Why is WordPress security

built into everything we do at WP Cloud?

WordPress powers 43% of the web, which makes it both a target…and battle-tested. At WP Cloud, security isn’t something we add later as an option, we embed top-of-class security into every layer of the platform. We handle the threats, you focus on growth. 

Multi-layered security that works automatically 

Every layer of defense is active from day one, blocking threats before they reach your site.

Advanced web application firewall (WAF)

Blocks malicious traffic before it reaches WordPress, with rules updated in real-time based on emerging threats.

Real-time threat detection & DDoS mitigation

Automatically identifies and neutralizes attacks as they happen, absorbing traffic spikes that would crash unprotected sites.

WordPress-specific protection

Rules tailored for common WordPress vulnerabilities.

DDoS attack mitigation

Absorbs massive traffic attacks that could cripple other hosts.

AI-powered spam blocking with Akismet

 Stops spam comments and form submissions with 99.99% accuracy. Over 500 billion spam messages blocked across millions of sites.

Jetpack Security (Optional Upgrade)

Add advanced tools like automated backups and malware scanning, putting additional controls in your team’s hands.

All-inclusive security: WAF, DDoS protection, automatic updates & expert support—no hidden costs

Network & web application firewalls

Our enterprise Web Application Firewall uses advanced NGINX ModSecurity with custom rules specifically designed to protect WordPress sites from SQL injection, XSS attacks, and other common threats.

DDoS protection

Complete DDoS protection automatically absorbs massive traffic attacks that would crash other hosting providers. Our Edge Cache Defensive Mode adds an extra shield during severe attacks, using proof-of-work challenges to separate real visitors from bots.

Automatic updates & patching

WP Cloud takes care of WordPress core and plugin updates automatically, keeping your site secure and running smoothly. Managed hosting includes automatic updates, so your WordPress core files and plugins stay updated with the latest security patches.

Edge cache defensive mode

Defensive Mode can be activated for 30 minutes to 7 days during attacks. It automatically challenges suspicious visitors to prove they’re human, blocking 99% of automated attacks while allowing real customers through seamlessly.

What security failures cost vs. what complete protection delivers

Understanding the true impact of security breaches and the value of proactive defense

The true cost of inadequate security:


Beyond the immediate damage, security breaches create lasting business impact that can take years to recover from – if businesses survive at all.

  • Customer confidence evaporates – 83% of consumers will stop doing business with companies after a data breach, and negative reviews spread instantly
  • Legal liability increases – GDPR fines up to €20 million, plus class-action lawsuits that can bankrupt small businesses.
  • Recovery costs multiply. Breach can cost millions in emergency fixes, forensics, legal fees, and lost productivity – often 10x the cost of proper security

24/7 security operations:

  • Our security experts combine AI-powered threat detection with human intelligence to stop attacks other systems miss.
  • 24/7/365 monitoring – Security analysts monitoring your sites from our SOC (Security Operations Center) in real-time
  • Incident response team – Average response time under 5 minutes when threats are detected, with immediate containment protocols
  • Threat intelligence updates – Real-time protection rules updated based on global attack patterns and zero-day vulnerabilities
  • Proactive threat hunting – Our team actively searches for emerging threats before they become widespread attacks
