Detect the Newest Malware
Wordfence Premium customers also receive new malware detection capabilities in real-time. Our team writes detection signatures for new malware variants and immediately deploys those signatures to your Wordfence installation, giving you the ability to detect even the newest malware. Our malware signatures are used by your firewall to prevent hackers from uploading malware, and they’re used by your Wordfence scanner to detect any malware in your filesystem.

Block the Newest Exploits
Wordfence Premium customers receive new firewall rules the moment our threat intelligence team releases them. When attackers invent new techniques to exploit WordPress, we deploy firewall rules to protect our Premium customers in real-time. With Wordfence Premium, you are protected from the newest exploits as we discover them.

Block Malicious IP Addresses in Real-Time
Wordfence is used by over 5 million websites, which means that we see attack reports from millions of websites every day. The Wordfence team knows who is attacking WordPress. Our sophisticated real-time algorithm is continuously updating the blocklist containing 25,000 to 60,000 active malicious IP addresses. Premium customers regularly receive updates to this list which outright prevents these dangerous IP addresses from accessing your site.

Review your site's event history with the Audit Log
The Wordfence Audit Log is a premium feature that records a history of events on your site to assist in monitoring for unauthorized actions or signs of compromise. Events can include everything from user creation and editing to plugin/theme installation and updates. All data captured for relevant events is saved remotely to Wordfence Central. Audit log events are stored on Wordfence Central for 30 days for sites with a Premium license.

As of today we began receiving this with this activator:
Scan Failed

The scan has failed because we received an unexpected response from the Wordfence servers. This may be a temporary error, though some sites may need adjustments to run scans reliably. Click here for steps you can try. (opens in new tab) Check for a server outage. (opens in new tab)

The error returned was:

WordFence API error: The Wordfence key you're using is not in a valid format.
