WordPress security for 2020 comes in all different shapes and sizes.\u00a0 Below you will find our top 5 picks along with the pros and cons of each.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

5. All In One WP Security & Firewall<\/h2>\n

A COMPREHENSIVE, EASY TO USE, STABLE AND WELL SUPPORTED WORDPRESS SECURITY PLUGIN<\/h4>\n

WordPress itself is a very secure platform. However, it helps to add some extra security and firewall to your site by using a security plugin that enforces a lot of good security practices.<\/p>\n

The All In One WordPress Security plugin will take your website security to a whole new level.<\/p>\n

This plugin is designed and written by experts and is easy to use and understand.<\/p>\n

It reduces security risk by checking for vulnerabilities, and by implementing and enforcing the latest recommended WordPress security practices and techniques.<\/p>\n

4. Ninja Firewall<\/h2>\n

A TRUE WEB APPLICATION FIREWALL<\/h4>\n

NinjaFirewall (WP Edition) is a true Web Application Firewall. Although it can be installed and configured just like a plugin, it is a stand-alone firewall that stands in front of WordPress.<\/p>\n

It allows any blog administrator to benefit from very advanced and powerful security features that usually aren\u2019t available at the WordPress level, but only in security applications such as the Apache\u00a0ModSecurity<\/a>module or the PHP\u00a0Suhosin<\/a>\u00a0extension.<\/p>\n

3. Better WP Security<\/h2>\n

iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security) gives you over 30+ ways to secure and protect your WordPress site. On average, 30,000 new websites are hacked each day. WordPress sites can be an easy target for attacks because of plugin vulnerabilities, weak passwords and obsolete software.<\/p>\n

Most WordPress admins don\u2019t know they\u2019re vulnerable, but iThemes Security works to lock down WordPress, fix common holes, stop automated attacks and strengthen user credentials. With advanced features for experienced users, our WordPress security plugin can help harden WordPress.<\/p>\n

[wp-pic slug=”better-wp-security” layout=”large” align=”left” clear=”before” margin=”2px” ajax=”yes”]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. WordFence<\/h2>\n

THE MOST POPULAR WORDPRESS FIREWALL & SECURITY SCANNER<\/h4>\n

Wordfence includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner that were built from the ground up to protect WordPress. Our Threat Defense Feed arms Wordfence with the newest firewall rules, malware signatures and malicious IP addresses it needs to keep your website safe. Rounded out by 2FA and a suite of additional features, Wordfence is the most comprehensive WordPress security solution available.<\/p>\n

IT\u2019S 2020 \u2013 DON\u2019T SETTLE FOR JUST ANOTHER SECURITY PLUGIN. GET\u00a0SMARTER<\/em>SECURITY.<\/h4>\n

You don\u2019t need another 100 email notifications.<\/p>\n
