Secure your WordPress site instantly: Introducing the Catcher24 WordPress plugin

With WordPress powering nearly half of all websites on the internet, it is no surprise that it remains a prime target for cyberattacks. In fact, industry data shows that over 95% of WordPress security vulnerabilities originate from third-party plugins and outdated themes. To help you proactively protect your digital storefront, blog, or enterprise site, we are excited to announce the official release of the Catcher24 WordPress plugin.

What’s new?

Our new plugin brings the power of our vulnerability management platform directly into your WordPress Content Management System (CMS). Instead of logging into a separate browser tab to check on your website's security health, you can now access your customized Catcher24 dashboard right from your native WordPress admin panel.

Your first WordPress target is completely free

We believe that every website owner deserves a clear, baseline understanding of their security posture. That is why, when you install the Catcher24 plugin, your first WordPress-specific target scan is 100% free of charge.

This is not just a basic, surface-level check. Under the hood, this assessment utilizes a highly specialized, WordPress-focused scanning engine. It rapidly cross-references your environment against thousands of known vulnerabilities, thoroughly inspecting your core files, installed themes, and all active (and inactive) plugins for security flaws.

Why it matters:

• Centralized management: View critical security alerts, generate target reports, and manage remediation without ever leaving your daily WordPress workflow.

• High-speed accuracy: Our Nuclei-powered engine ensures incredibly fast, template-based scanning with minimal false positives, meaning your team only spends time addressing real threats.

• Frictionless onboarding: Installation takes seconds. Simply add the plugin, run your free initial scan, and instantly see exactly where your site's defenses stand.

Take your security to the next level

Your free scan will give you immediate visibility into your current vulnerabilities, but cybersecurity is not apoint-in-time event. New plugin exploits are publicly disclosed every single day. To ensure your website isn't compromised by tomorrow's zero-day threat, transitioning to automated, continuous scanning is essential.

Once you have reviewed your free initial scan results, you can easily upgrade your target directly within the plugin. Unlocking a premium target provides you with daily automated scans, real-time Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications, and our comprehensive downloadable reports.

Search for Catcher24 in the WordPress plugin directory to download it today, run your free scan, and take the first step toward securing your site.
