It’s no surprise that website security has become a major concern for developers, business owners, and anyone building online today. As the internet has grown into the world’s marketplace and meeting point, the risks have grown too, from malware and spam to data theft and downtime. Every site, whether it’s a small personal blog or a global eCommerce brand, is a potential target.
At Servebolt, we believe security isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a mindset. Because what’s the point of speed if it isn’t safe? A fast site is great, but a fast, secure, and stable site? That’s unbeatable.
That’s why we’ve reimagined how security lives inside Servebolt. Today, we’re proud to unveil a brand new Security page inside your Admin Panel. It’s your control room for resilience, a single place to see, manage, and strengthen your protection. You can now sleep better knowing your websites are defended by Servebolt Shield, our all-in-one, always-on security suite engineered for speed, precision, and peace of mind.
Welcome to the Servebolt Shield Add-ons Marketplace
This is your command center for proactive protection. The new Security page brings together all Servebolt security capabilities — old and new into one powerful, transparent view. It’s designed to help you customize your protection, your way.
From one dashboard, you can:
- See your current level of protection across all sites

The Servebolt Shield Add-ons Marketplace gives you the freedom to choose the tools that best fit your site’s security needs. Whether you manage one site or hundreds, you’ll always have full control.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Patchstack Vulnerability Protection: Proactive Defence Against Plugin and Theme Exploits
This is the beating heart of Servebolt Shield. Powered by Patchstack, the industry’s leading vulnerability intelligence platform, this add-on automatically detects and blocks plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities in real-time. Patchstack’s research team tracks over 4,500+ active vulnerabilities, partnering directly with plugin developers like Elementor and YITH to release fixes faster than anyone else.
The addon is designed to work silently, smartly, and seamlessly in the background. It taps into Patchstack’s extensive vulnerability intelligence and deploys the fastest security defenses across your WordPress sites. Whether you are running a blog, an e-commerce site, or managing client websites, this new feature brings enterprise-grade protection directly to your dashboard. With automated vulnerability scans, virtual patching, and early threat detection, your website becomes a fortress without lifting a finger.
This is not just a security upgrade. It is peace of mind, baked right into your hosting.
What do you get?
With the Vulnerability Shield protection, powered by Patchstack, you are not just getting security; you are getting a smart, adaptive defence system that grows with your site and evolves with the threat landscape. Here is what makes this feature a game-changer for WordPress users on Servebolt:
- Auto-Detect Vulnerabilities Across Your WordPress Stack – The vulnerability scanner inspects every part of your WordPress setup (plugins, themes, and core files) to find known vulnerabilities. These scans occur continuously, ensuring you are alerted before a weakness becomes a problem.
- Automated Virtual Patching – No need to wait for developers to release fixes. This pro feature applies virtual patches instantly, sealing security gaps with non-intrusive firewall rules. Your site remains secure, even if a plugin hasn’t been updated yet.
- Monitor Active Exploits in Real-Time – Receive real-time insights into active exploitation attempts. The addon not only warns you but also acts to block suspicious traffic before any damage occurs.
- 48-Hour Early Vulnerability Detection – Faster vulnerability detection is crucial. That’s why we are pleased to offer protection up to 48 hours before vulnerabilities become public knowledge. This early detection window gives you a crucial head start in maintaining security before others.
- Lightweight & Performance-First – We understand that speed matters. This security layer is designed to be highly focused, shielding only what needs protection without slowing down your site. That means zero lag and full performance.
GEO.SEC Global Edge Protection: control who can reach your site
Some threats never even deserve to reach your site. With GEO.SEC, one of the most requested features from our public roadmap, you can now control who can access your site, and from where.
Block traffic from countries known for attacks or spam, or open your site only to the markets you serve. It’s like a digital border guard: lightweight, fast, and completely under your control.
What makes this even more powerful is how uncommon it is: most hosting platforms don’t give users this level of access control at the infrastructure level. With Servebolt, you can fine-tune global access instantly, without plugins, extra tools, or performance loss. Built to work at the edge, GEO.SEC is only available for websites running Servebolt CDN and Accelerated Domains, filtering threats before they ever reach your origin server.
For businesses serving specific regions, it means cleaner traffic, faster response times, and less wasted bandwidth.
IP Blocking: precision defence, made simple
You asked, we delivered. Another top community request, IP Blocking, lets you easily block malicious IPs or specific users directly inside the Admin Panel.
With IP Blocking, you can stop malicious users or suspicious bots in seconds, without technical setup or server-side configs. It’s a simple defence made powerful, giving you total control from inside the Admin Panel. No tickets. No delays.
Threat Shield: Malware Detection & Protection
You wanted visibility, we made it actionable. Based on your feedback for malware insights and statistics, we’ve created Threat Shield, built on top of Monarx.
Threat Shield continuously monitors your environment for malware, code injections, and unusual behaviour, before they harm your site or performance.
Every detection is logged, every scan is visible, and every cleanup is trackable right from your Admin Panel. You will get a complete overview of:
- Malware Detections – a complete history of found and cleaned threats
- Manual Scans – start or review scans anytime; track their progress, view results, or launch a new scan at any time
- Cleanup Requests – the history of requested malware cleanups for WordPress websites; one-click recoveries processed by our team through a combination of automated and manual actions
The Full Shield Bundle — Complete Protection, One Simple Plan
As the web continues to expand, so do its vulnerabilities. Over 7,900 new plugin vulnerabilities were discovered in 2024, which is a 34% increase from the year before, and nearly a third were never patched. That means attackers didn’t need to find new weaknesses, they just needed time.
We built Servebolt Shield to take that time away from them. The Full Shield Bundle is your one-stop solution for total peace of mind, combining every layer of Servebolt security in one plan designed for speed, stability, and simplicity.
With it, you get:
- Real-time vulnerability protection (Powered by Patchstack)
- GEO.SEC global defense
- IP blocking & access control
- Malware detection, cleanup, and scanning tools

When a vulnerability is found, Servebolt Shield doesn’t wait for a patch. It deploys a virtual patch instantly — no code changes, no downtime, no false positives.
For just €31/month or €341/year (1 month free), you get enterprise-grade security that runs at Servebolt speed: no setup, no unnecessary plugins, no slowdowns.
It’s not just about protection, it’s about time. Time you save from emergency cleanups. Time your clients don’t spend worrying.
