View company profile

What began as a focused endeavor to secure the open-source world has blossomed into Patchstack, a leading force in web application security. The journey started with a clear and pressing need: to address the rampant vulnerabilities within the WordPress ecosystem, which powers a significant portion of the internet. The founders, recognizing the immense and often overlooked security gaps in third-party plugins and themes, embarked on a mission to create a comprehensive solution. Initially known as WebARX, the company was born from a desire to provide digital agencies and developers with the tools to monitor, protect, and maintain their websites effectively. This early vision was rooted in the understanding that a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to security was paramount. The team's dedication and innovative spirit led them to develop a smart firewall engine capable of shielding websites from a wide array of threats, including the notorious OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities and specific plugin exploits.

The evolution from WebARX to Patchstack marked a significant milestone, reflecting a deeper, more specialized focus on the entire lifecycle of open-source security. This transition wasn't just a name change; it signified a strategic shift towards building a community-powered security model. At the heart of this model is the Patchstack Alliance, a vibrant community of ethical hackers and security researchers who actively discover and report vulnerabilities. This collaborative approach has been instrumental in Patchstack's success, enabling them to become the world's largest discloser of WordPress-related security vulnerabilities. The company's growth has been fueled by strategic investments and recognitions, including a Series A funding round and selection into prestigious programs like the Google for Startups Growth Academy for AI in Cybersecurity. Today, Patchstack stands as a testament to the power of community and innovation, offering a robust platform that not only protects millions of websites but also fosters a more secure and resilient open-source ecosystem for everyone. Their journey is a compelling narrative of identifying a critical problem and relentlessly building a solution that has a tangible, positive impact on the digital world.
