[Press Release] New Web Speed ​​WordPress Security Maintenance Service for Dedicated WordPress Cloud Servers

Beyond Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Masahiro Haraoka; hereinafter referred to as "Beyond"), a provider of cloud/server services,has added new features to its WordPress-dedicated cloud server "WebSpeed," enabling maintenance of the WordPress core in addition to server support, further enhancing security.

What is Web Speed?

This is a cloud server dedicated to WordPress with a fixed monthly service fee that provides standard features such as cyber attack protection, faster site display, and automatic backups

With WebSpeed, WordPress is installed from the start, so you can start building a website using WordPress, such as your homepage, right away

Another feature is that customers do not need to worry about complex server settings or security, and the service also includes 24/7 site monitoring and operational support, allowing them to focus on building their website

Why WebSpeed ​​is changing

Until now, WebSpeed ​​has specialized in supporting server infrastructure, but has not provided updates or operational support for WordPress' core functions (core, plugins, etc.). However, with security issues such as attacks exploiting WordPress vulnerabilities increasing year by year, we have received many requests for security support for WordPress itself

In response to this background and demand, WebSpeed ​​has made a major update by adding a new WordPress security maintenance agency service, and has updated its functions to enable consistent support for WordPress security and infrastructure such as middleware

Our company has been involved in the construction and operation of cloud/servers for various web services, and we will bring together the technical capabilities and know-how we have cultivated to provide safe and comfortable WordPress servers, as well as support our customers with newly enhanced WordPress maintenance functions

Major security feature updates

This time, WordPress security maintenance will be added

1. Regular updates for WordPress core and plugins (monthly):
Regular updates for WordPress core and plugins will be performed once a month.

2. Tampering Detection (Every 10 Minutes):
The detection frequency varies depending on the plan, but WordPress files are checked regularly to detect any tampering. Detection is performed 24 hours a day.

3. Restricting login and comment posting to domestic IP addresses and other security settings:
Upon customer request, we will restrict login to the administration screen and comment posting to domestic IP addresses and add other security settings.

4. Application Vulnerability Assessment (Monthly)
Once a month, we will conduct a vulnerability assessment of WordPress and submit a report. In the event that tampering is detected and recovery is deemed necessary, we will carry out recovery work.

5. Emergency Updates for WordPress Core and Plugin Vulnerabilities:
vulnerabilities corresponding to CVSS9-10 or CVSS7-8 are announced in the WordPress core and plugins, and corresponding updates are released, emergency updates will be implemented.

*Additional features vary depending on the plan
