WhatA security-first plugin execution engine that runs third-party CMS extensions in isolated sandboxes, preventing any single plugin from compromising the entire site.
SignalWordPress powers over 40% of the web and its plugin architecture is fundamentally insecure — every plugin runs with full server access, making the entire ecosystem a massive attack surface that only gets worse as AI makes exploit discovery cheaper.
Why NowAI-powered vulnerability discovery is about to make WordPress plugin exploits trivially cheap to find and weaponize at scale, turning what was a manageable nuisance into an existential crisis for millions of sites.
MarketWordPress site owners and agencies spending billions annually on security plugins, WAFs, and incident response; TAM is the ~$600B web hosting/CMS market. Competitors like Sucuri and Wordfence patch symptoms, nobody fixes the root architecture.
MoatFirst-mover on the sandboxed plugin standard could become the trust layer — if you build the plugin marketplace with security guarantees, developers publish there first, creating a network effect.
