Jetpack Scan
On sites hosted with WordPress.com, Jetpack Scan automatically detects security threats and vulnerabilities in plugins, themes, and uploaded files. It relies on threat data from WPScan and the WordPress.com security team to help protect your site from malware and potential breaches. Unlike on other hosting platforms where Jetpack Scan requires a separate purchase, it’s included with your WordPress.com plan at no extra cost.
Use the guides below to learn more about how Jetpack Scan works and how you can take additional steps to keep your site secure.
