How to find the best security solution for WordPress

As WordPress market share grows, so does its attractiveness as a potential hacking target. That simple, stark truth is reflected in the results of Sucuri’s 2016 security report, which demonstrated that WordPress was far and away the most often targeted CMS, outpacing Joomla and Magento by a wide margin, as you can see in the screenshot from the graph in Sucuri’s report below.

WordPress vulnerabilities aren’t a sign that the CMS is weak or somehow natively insecure. It simply reflects the obvious: The more popular a platform is, the more likely it is to be a target of bad actors. Those security vulnerabilities can be found in all three code pillars of the CMS – the core files themselves, WordPress plugins, and also WordPress themes.

As of this writing, the WPScan Vulnerability Database has cataloged over 5,200 vulnerabilities in all three categories. WordPress security is a huge topic. And so security goes well beyond changing the default admin username and picking a strong keyword, though you should of course do both, as they’ll help make brute force attacks more difficult
