This plugin adds a comprehensive suite of security measures to WordPress. Simply install, activate, and rest assured that your site is now protected against most common attacks.

We attempted to create the “Goldilocks” of WordPress security by finding a happy medium between the really complicated plugins that seem to slow down your site and often break functionality because they are too restrictive, and the piece-meal ones that only address one or two vulnerabilities at a time.

The following areas of security weakness are addressed:

  • XML RPC Protection – stops unauthorized content injection.
  • Author Scanning Prevention – prevents revealing of user login names.
  • Malicious Script Blocking – stops execution of scripts in specific vulnerable directories.
  • Comment Spam Prevention – adds a CAPTCHA to the comment form.
  • User Login Protection – includes automatic timed failed login attempt lockouts and CAPTCHA for login page.
  • Automatic IP Ban – bans IP’s from the entire site based on number of failed login attempts.
  • IP Blacklist – allows adding known bad IP’s and bans them from the entire site.
  • IP Whitelist – allows adding known good IP’s.

This plugin also provides a log of all login attempts including geographical IP data.

Temporarily locked IP’s can be unlocked by the administrator.

Permanently banned IP’s can be un-banned by the administrator.

CAUTION: Do not use this plugin with other security plugins to avoid conflicts and other site issues. Use only one active security suite at a time.
