BitFire was developed by Cory Marsh in Boise, Idaho in 2021 to solve a simple problem: most WordPress security tools try to identify bad traffic. BitFire is designed to prevent dangerous actions from succeeding in the first place.
BitFire is the only block-by-default security system built for WordPress.
Instead of allowing requests unless they match a known threat signature, BitFire learns how your site normally operates and blocks activity that falls outside those rules.
BitFire places protection around the files and data an exploit must change to become a compromise.
BitFire's patented file protection system prevents unauthorized PHP files from being created or modified on protected servers.
Even when an attacker finds a vulnerable plugin, the exploit cannot simply write a backdoor or malware payload to disk.
Many WordPress compromises end with an attacker creating a hidden administrator account or modifying sensitive data.
BitFire inspects database queries as they execute and can stop unauthorized changes before they reach WordPress.
When suspicious code is found, BitFire uses AI-assisted malware analysis to explain what the code does and help identify what needs to be removed.
That means less time sorting through false positives and unfamiliar PHP, and more confidence during cleanup.
Explain what suspicious code does.
Help identify what needs to be removed.
Spend less time on false positives and unfamiliar PHP.
BitFire combines file protection, database inspection, runtime enforcement, and malware analysis in a single WordPress security system.
It was built around one idea: when an exploit reaches your site, the important question isn't whether you detected the request. It's whether the attacker was able to do anything with it.
