Back40 Forge™ AI-Powered WordPress Security
Forge is Back40’s proprietary AI-powered WordPress security intelligence system built in-house to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and performance-impacting issues before they become real problems.
Rather than basic generic security plugins, Back40 Forge runs scheduled, in-depth weekly scans that analyze your website’s structure, plugins, and themes. This approach allows for deeper inspection and fewer false positives.
Weekly AI-Driven Security Scans
Forge performs comprehensive weekly security assessments to detect:
- Plugin and theme vulnerabilities
- Outdated or risky configurations
- Suspicious changes or exposure points
- Emerging security risks affecting WordPress sites
Actionable Intelligence (Not Noise)
Forge prioritizes findings based on risk and relevance, so our team focuses on issues that actually matter rather than endless low-value alerts.
