WordPress is the world's leading content management system (CMS), which was originally developed as a platform for blogs and has since evolved into a versatile solution for websites, online stores and many other applications. With a market share of over 40 percent, WordPress is particularly popular due to its user-friendliness, flexibility and the large number of plugins and themes available. However, this popularity also makes WordPress a favorite target for hackers. Attackers are particularly interested in WordPress, as the widespread use of the system offers a large attack surface. Vulnerabilities in plugins or themes as well as outdated versions or insecure configurations can be used to compromise websites.
Smart Lens effectively protects WordPress installations by continuously monitoring the security of the system. The software analyzes the WordPress core, installed plugins and themes for known vulnerabilities and detects outdated or compromised components. Automatic notifications inform website operators of potential risks in real time so that they can apply security updates and patches promptly. At the same time, Smart Lens offers comprehensive vulnerability management that prioritizes threats according to their urgency and provides clear instructions for remediation. The security standards of third-party extensions are also checked to ensure the highest level of security. With detailed reports, Smart Lens supports adherence to compliance requirements and comprehensively documents all security measures implemented. In this way, the software helps to minimize cyber risks and ensure the integrity of the WordPress environment.
