What is Jetpack Security?

Jetpack Security is a WordPress security bundle from Automattic that combines a web application firewall, automated malware scanning, real-time cloud backups, and comment/form spam protection into a single plugin. The firewall is continuously updated against emerging threats, while the scanner checks plugins, themes, uploads, and select core files for known vulnerabilities and malicious code.

The Security plan bundles VaultPress Backup with 10GB of storage and one-click restores, Jetpack Scan, and Akismet Anti-spam with 10,000 API calls per month. A broader Complete plan adds performance and growth tools on top of the same security features. A free Jetpack tier exists with basic protections like downtime monitoring and brute-force blocking, but full backup and scanning require a paid plan.

Jetpack Security FAQs

It bundles VaultPress Backup (10GB real-time backups), Jetpack Scan (firewall plus malware scanning), and Akismet Anti-spam (10,000 API calls per month).

It is $9.95 per month billed yearly for the first year (50% off), reverting to $19.95 per month regular price afterward.

No. Jetpack Protect/Scan detects and prevents future attacks but is not designed to fully clean up a site infected before it was active; a separate malware removal step or restore from backup is recommended.

Yes, Jetpack Free includes basic features like downtime monitoring and brute force protection, but not backups or malware scanning.

Jetpack offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on yearly plans (7 days on monthly plans) rather than a separate free trial.
