Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Jetpack Protect
Protect is a free WordPress security scanner plugin that scans your site and lets you know possible vulnerability and other security threats on your installed plugins, themes, and core files. The free plan scans your site for WordPress version, plugin, and theme vulnerabilities from our extensive vulnerability database (53,500) that is powered by WPScan. By upgrading Protect, you gain access to WordPress malware scanning with one-click fixes, instant threat notifications, and our Web application Firewall (WAF) that protects your site around the clock.
Jetpack Protect does not require the Jetpack plugin to run and secure your site.
Jetpack Protect is a new WordPress security plugin from Jetpack containing our security features only. You can start with Jetpack Protect’s free vulnerability scanning features and upgrade Jetpack Protect to access automated malware scanning and our web application firewall. By upgrading Protect, you are enabling Jetpack Scan to the plugin. Jetpack Scan is a product that can be purchased for use in conjunction with the main Jetpack plugin or Jetpack Protect. Jetpack Scan includes automated malware scanning and our web application firewall but does not contain the vulnerability scanning feature from the Protect plugin. If you purchase Jetpack Security or Jetpack Complete, Jetpack Scan is also included in those bundles. If you are already a Jetpack Scan, Jetpack Security, or Jetpack Complete customer, you can also take advantage of Jetpack Protect’s vulnerability scanning feature by installing the Jetpack Protect plugin. WPScan is an enterprise vulnerability scanning solution. It is not recommended for small to medium-sized businesses. If you are an enterprise company looking for custom WordPress site protection solutions, please visit: https://wpscan.com/ For small to medium-sized businesses, you can access our vulnerability scanning solution in the Jetpack Protect plugin.
Jetpack Protect requires a publicly accessible site to perform the vulnerability scan.
You can visit Jetpack Protect dashboard in your WordPress admin panel to see the security threats and malware found by the integrated malware scanner.
If you have upgraded Protect, your site will also be automatically scanned for malware each day, and you will be notified instantly via email if any threats are detected. You will be able to fix most issues in one click.
It is not possible to set a time for the automated daily scans run by the integrated malware scanner.
A hacked WordPress site can cause serious damage to your business revenue and reputation. Jetpack Protect scans your site and lets you know possible malware and security threats on your installed plugins, themes, and core files.
To learn how to achieve better WordPress security, see this guide. On the Jetpack Blog, you can find many more articles written by the top WordPress security experts.
The new Jetpack Protect plugin is different from the Jetpack feature formerly known as Protect (now renamed Brute Force Attack Protection).
