Solutions / WordPress owners

WordPress owners

Site owners, agencies and small shops running WordPress.

WordPress is half the public web, and almost all of its security incidents come from the same three places: an out-of-date plugin, a stolen credential, or a misconfigured server. The traditional answer is a plugin that watches one site at a time and asks you to read the logs yourself. Argus runs two channels: the Sentinel agent inside WordPress for firewall, login defence and integrity scanning, and an external scanner that fingerprints your site without credentials. AI reads the signals and tells you what actually matters in language you can act on. When you let it, Auto-Protect handles the reversible responses — rate-limiting a brute-forcer, blocking an attacking IP, locking a compromised user — and asks before doing anything that would interrupt your visitors.

The reality on day zero

What you walk in carrying

A plugin estate you cannot police by hand — and a vulnerability disclosure cycle that never slows down.

WordFence-style alerts that arrive after the fact and put the entire triage burden on you.

A site that has to stay up; you cannot afford a "block first, ask later" response engine that takes legitimate visitors offline.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How does Argus compare to WordFence?
Argus Sentinel matches the WordFence feature set — request firewall, login security, integrity scanning, remote remediation — and adds AI verdicts on every event plus an autonomous response loop with a human-approval gate on disruptive actions. The pricing is built for single-site owners and agencies, not enterprise estates.
Will Argus work on WordPress.com?
Full coverage on Business and Commerce plans, where the Sentinel agent can install. On Free, Personal and Premium plans the external scanner runs (black-box CVE mapping) while we ship the dedicated WordPress.com connector.
What happens when Argus blocks something?
Every protective action is reversible and logged. You see exactly what was blocked, why, and a one-click undo. The autonomy gate ensures anything disruptive — disabling a user, rotating a secret — surfaces for your approval before it runs.
Does Argus replace my existing security plugin?
For most sites, yes — Sentinel handles the firewall, login defence and integrity scan in one place, with AI triage that a per-site plugin cannot offer. If you keep a CDN-level WAF (Cloudflare, Sucuri), Argus runs alongside it and consumes those signals.
What about agencies running many sites?
A single Argus account meshes every site you manage. Findings, response and reporting cross the estate, with per-client views. Pricing scales on AI usage, not site count — protect every site you manage, pay for the depth of intelligence you actually use.
