Automatically Updates if a Security Fix is Available

Paired with Version Management, iThemes Security will automatically update a plugin, theme, or WordPress core version if it has a vulnerability.

Emails You if Site Scan Detects a Vulnerability

You can receive an email report if your site is running vulnerable versions of a plugin, theme, or WordPress core. Customize the email addresses that receive scan results.
