WordPress + plugin CVE feed with virtual patching — paid plans from $5/site/mo.

Free tier: free vulnerability database + community plugin

What it does well

Provides virtual patches for vulnerabilities, often before official plugin updates are available.
Free tier includes a useful vulnerability database for WordPress core, themes, and plugins.
Centralized dashboard allows managing security for multiple WordPress sites from a single interface.

Where it falls short

Core virtual patching feature is not included in the free plan.
Primarily focused on WordPress; offers no protection for other applications or platforms.
Relies on a self-hosted WordPress plugin, which itself becomes a component to maintain.
