Wordpress security
Default Wordpress requires some security improvements by default. Client sites move up security levels automatically if suspicious login activity or other monitoring alerts.
Level 1
Rename wp-admin + Limit login attempts + Clean default wp data from frontend
Basic setup for all sites
Level 2
Geo fence backend
Allow wp-admin access from certain country alone
Level 3
2FA with SMS, Authenticator or Google login
Recommend to go here directly if any sensitive customer data stored in the backend.
Custom
Various custom measures or headless / static front
Using a dedicated and safe hosting environment is key to backend security. We only use our secure wp-engine dedicated server which comes with various security improvements such as plugin vulnerability monitoring, Global Edge Security from Cloudflare and various security improvements.
