At VaultPress, we recently improved our security scanning and notifications feature to alert you to site threats and vulnerabilities and allow you to repair them right away. Log in to your VaultPress dashboard and click on Security to check out the security scanning results for your site and take action to keep your site safe and sound. Note that this feature is in place for Premium and Enterprise Subscribers.

Here’s a sample of what you might see on logging in to your VaultPress dashboard. Threats are listed by category. Under Web Based Shell, the first category listed below, there’s a possible threat called PHP Shell 1 along with a description. You can choose to click on the blue Remove Threat button to remove this threat from your site:
