As a business owner, you trust that your web host provides a secure environment for your website. You have an SSL certificate, and your hosting plan likely includes a firewall. This should be enough to protect you from hackers, right?
Unfortunately, this often creates a dangerous false sense of security.
A recent security study from Patchstack, a leader in WordPress vulnerability protection, delivered a sobering statistic: 87.8% of vulnerability exploits bypassed standard hosting defenses.
This report tested 11 known WordPress vulnerabilities across five different hosting environments. In nearly 9 out of 10 cases, security measures like network firewalls (including WAFs) failed to stop the attack. The threats bypassed these generic defenses and would have successfully compromised the websites.
The problem is simple: most hosting security focuses on the network or server. The real threat, however, is often at the application layer—in the code of the WordPress plugins and themes that make your site functional and unique.
Haketi Is Enhancing Your Website’s Defense
Your peace of mind is our top priority. We are not comfortable with an 87% failure rate, and you should not be either. We believe in a proactive, multi-layered security posture.
That is why we are proud to announce that Haketi is integrating Patchstack into our website maintenance services.
Patchstack is not a generic firewall. It is an advanced security solution built specifically to protect WordPress at the application layer. It identifies and virtually patches vulnerabilities in plugins and themes, often before the developer even releases an update.
When a new vulnerability is discovered, Patchstack’s system blocks the exploit before it can reach your site. It successfully blocked 100% of the attacks that the hosting providers missed in the study.
