Hello, I use the anspress theme and am looking for a cost effective security/firewall software for a discussion forum.  I currently use Sitelock but they are too expensive and they merely repackage / resell I think Sucuri

Can someone recommend a security plugin that is not too too technical to use and relatively low overhead to maintain and deals with most issues.

Yoast wrote a good article https://yoast.com/wordpress-security/

So did Elegant Themes https://goo.gl/P9T8CK

There are many choices.  Need input.

Thank you.

Thank you Rahul.

Cagliostro, I recently had Google blacklist 3 of my websites because they contained malware and after 4 weeks I am still trying to find out how new malware is being injected after it is being removed by SiteLock and all password, FTP accounts changed.  The new Anspress website that I am launching will have anywhere from 1000 to 22,000 investors involved in a bankruptcy case.

Well, a proper hosting is all you need, otherwise no security will save you. Anyway, you know better your site and i don’t.

Personally i run several high traffic WP for customers, and never had such problems.

Consider hiring an expert if you are not sure about whats happening.

All you need is JetPack. Jetpack have protection for brute force.

WordPress itself is very secure. I am using WordPress since its initial release and built hundreds of site for clients and I never had any security issues.

Just keep you password strong and that’s all.

Not sure what this has to do with Anspress. In any case why do you believe you need some plugin for security ?

How do you host your WP ?

GoDaddy cPanel but other newer sites I have moved to Managed WordPress because that platform has SSD and automatic backup, staging…. I don’t think that platform is more secure than their cPanel.
