About WP Folder Shield
AI-powered WordPress security protecting websites with intelligent threat detection since 2019. Trusted by businesses across North America and the UK.
AI-Powered Security for Every WordPress Site
We believe every WordPress website deserves intelligent, AI-powered protection, regardless of size or budget.
WP Folder Shield was born from a simple observation: while WordPress powers over 40% of the web, most site owners lack the technical expertise to properly secure their websites. Hackers know this, and they exploit it every day.
Our mission is to bridge this gap by providing AI-powered, self-learning security tools that protect websites automatically - no security expertise required. Our crowdsourced threat intelligence means when one site blocks an attack, all sites are protected.
From Security Breach to Security Solution
In 2019, our founder experienced what thousands of WordPress site owners face every year - a devastating security breach. A malicious PHP file uploaded to the wp-content/uploads directory gave hackers complete control of a client's e-commerce website.
The damage was significant: customer data exposed, search rankings destroyed, and months of work undone in minutes. But from this setback came a realization - there had to be a better way to protect WordPress sites from these common attack vectors.
WP Folder Shield began as an internal tool to prevent PHP execution in vulnerable directories. As word spread among fellow developers in the WordPress community across the United States and Canada, requests for the tool grew. What started as a simple .htaccess generator evolved into a comprehensive security suite.
Today, WP Folder Shield protects over 50,000 websites across North America, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Our team of security researchers continuously monitors the threat landscape, ensuring our users stay protected against the latest vulnerabilities and attack techniques.
