Comcure offers offsite backups and uptime monitoring.  Are you signed up with Comcure or do you have a plugin installed that performs backups and uptime monitoring via Comcure?  I see this new plugin in the WordPress plugin repository – Comcure Automatic Offsite Backup.  Do you have this plugin installed on your website?

Yes indeed i completely forgot about comcure. Although it is not a plugin
Is there a way to whitelist their IP (whcich they are requesting)

Try this below and see if it works. The new Custom Code features/options in BPS and BPS Pro allow you to now add this to BPS Custom Code.

1. Copy this code below to this BPS Root Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE REQUEST METHODS FILTERED: 
2. Click the Save Root Custom Code button.
3. Go to the BPS Security Modes page and click the Root Folder BulletProof Mode Activate button.

BPS Pro 11.6+ & BPS free .53.2+
You may see this code or the 11.5+/.53.1+ code in your root htaccess file.  The code does the same exact thing and is whitelisted in the same exact way.

# REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
# If you want to allow HEAD Requests use BPS Custom Code and copy
# this entire REQUEST METHODS FILTERED section of code to this BPS Custom Code
# text box: CUSTOM CODE REQUEST METHODS FILTERED.
# See the CUSTOM CODE REQUEST METHODS FILTERED help text for additional steps.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD) [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/405.php [L]

BPS Pro 11.5+ & BPS free .53.1+

# REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
# If you want to allow HEAD Requests use BPS Custom Code and copy
# this entire REQUEST METHODS FILTERED section of code to this BPS Custom Code
# text box: CUSTOM CODE REQUEST METHODS FILTERED.
# See the CUSTOM CODE REQUEST METHODS FILTERED help text for additional steps.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD) [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [R=405,L]

BPS Pro 11.4|BPS free .53 and lower versions

# REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
# If you want to allow HEAD Requests use BPS Custom Code and 
# remove/delete HEAD| from the Request Method filter.
# Example: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
# The TRACE, DELETE, TRACK and DEBUG Request methods should never be removed.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]
