(CA, USA) today announced that they have entered into a partnership to offer WPScan – the enterprise-strength WordPress Security Scanner – on KUSANAGI Cloud – Prime Strategy’s platform for its KUSANAGI managed service.
As modern businesses become more complex, their web strategies require multiple sites. It is paramount to keep them secure, especially for sites running WordPress – the most popular CMS globally with a 64% market share (Source: W3Techs, Market share trends for content management systems). To meet this demand, Prime Strategy has entered into a partnership with Automattic to provide WPScan on KUSANAGI Cloud.
