Why is WordPress security so important?
WordPress is the most popular CMS, which makes it vulnerable to a variety of attacks. It is worth understanding that a lack of proper security measures can lead to serious consequences such as data theft, virus infection and even the destruction of a website.
Basic security elements
In my work, I focus on a few key aspects that are fundamental to successfully protecting a site on WordPress:
- Regular updates - is a fundamental step in ensuring security. Keeping WordPress and plugins up to date helps prevent known security vulnerabilities.
- Strong passwords - The use of complex passwords and their regular replacement makes it difficult to take over administrative accounts.
- Secure hosting - By choosing hosting that offers advanced security features, you minimise the risk of attacks.
- Application of SSL - The SSL certificate encrypts the data sent between the server and the browser, which increases the security of the site.
Advanced strategies for protecting your WordPress site
In addition to basic methods, it is worth using more advanced security techniques:
Safety plugs
There are a number of plug-ins available that can significantly improve the security of your site. Here are a few that I recommend:
- Wordfence - provides comprehensive protection by monitoring your site in real time. It also enables scans of sites for malware.
- iThemes Security - offers a wide range of features such as file change detection, IP blocking and much more.
Backups as part of security
Regular backups are an indispensable part of your security strategy. Why is it so important?
- Protects against data loss in the event of an attack
- Enables the site to be quickly restored to its pre-failure state
- Helps maintain data integrity
Security audit: Security analysis and implementation
A security audit is a detailed analysis of a site to detect and eliminate potential threats. As part of the audit, I perform:
- Check of current security features
- Penetration tests
- Analysis of server logs and detection of anomalies
- Recommend and implement appropriate protection measures
Data security: Two-factor authentication
The implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) via plug-ins, e.g. Google Authenticator, significantly increases security by requiring an additional login step in addition to the normal password.
The importance of firewalls in securing WordPress
The use of firewalls such as Cloudflare or Defender, provides an additional layer of protection against hacking attempts and other online threats.
In Poznań, where I operate, awareness of online security is growing, so I encourage you to consult and implement proven methods of protection. If you have any questions, please contact me at (+48) 579 066 987 or via the website WordPress specialist.
