With this feature, you can see detailed security alerts for the plugins and themes installed on your sites. You can view this information for each site or view an overview of all your sites in the account-level security alerts.

## **Site-Level Security Alerts**

For each site, within the site’s settings page, under the `Plugins & Themes` section of the MyPressable Control Panel (MPCP), you will see this information. Any plugin or theme with known vulnerabilities will display a **Security Issues** button.

 Please Note: - Plugin and Theme lists are refreshed **nightly**.
- Vulnerability data is updated **weekly**, with real-time updates triggered by WPScan’s webhooks when new vulnerabilities are detected.

## Account-Level Security Alerts

In the **Tools menu** of MPCP, you can view and manage security risks across all your sites. Here you can see a centralized dashboard that shows all your sites with security issues. A **red notification badge** alerts you to vulnerabilities across your sites.
