MainWP Jetpack Scan Extension

Managing security across many WordPress sites usually means logging in to each one. This extension moves that work into the MainWP Dashboard. It checks WordPress core, plugins and themes against the WPScan vulnerability database every day, and you can also start a scan whenever you want for all connected Child Sites.

Results sync back to your dashboard, where a Jetpack Scan widget on the MainWP Overview page gives a quick security snapshot. From there you can read details on each vulnerability, apply quick fixes for many of them, and look back at past threats in the History tab. It fits agencies, freelancers and administrators who already run their sites through MainWP.

Features

• Daily vulnerability scanning: WordPress core, plugins and themes on your Child Sites are checked each day against the WPScan vulnerability database, so known security risks are flagged without manual checks.
• On-demand scans with sync: Start a scan for all connected Child Sites at any time, then sync the results to your MainWP Dashboard to review them right away.
• Jetpack Scan widget: A widget on the MainWP Overview page summarizes site vulnerabilities and their statuses, giving you a clear view of security at a glance.
• Quick fix options: Many identified vulnerabilities can be resolved with automated quick fixes, which cuts down the manual remediation work on each site.
• Detailed threat information: Open a vulnerability to see its severity and recommended remediation steps, so you can decide what to handle first.
• Security history tracking: The History tab records past threats, the actions taken and their timestamps, which helps you keep track of what happened on each site.
• Central API management: Connect Child Sites through the Jetpack Scan API and manage all of those connections from one location inside MainWP.
• Optional Jetpack plugin support: Installing the Jetpack plugin on your Child Sites is optional, and it widens the range of security tools available alongside the extension.

• Agencies managing many client WordPress sites
