Stepping up WordPress security

As more of our lives and businesses move online, keeping websites secure has never been more important.

The unfortunate truth is that anything on the internet is vulnerable to attack.

From our smartphones to websites, even smart fridges are never completely safe from being the targets of cybercrime.

Our commitment to WordPress security for our clients means we must continuously evolve our security practices to stay ahead of potential attacks and keep our clients’ websites safe.

As part of that commitment, we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Malcare, one of the leading providers of WordPress security for high-performance websites.

This enhances our existing multi-layered approach to website security to include:

• Website firewall with WordPress-specific rules to block bad traffic trying to find and exploit weaknesses
• Malware scanner to automatically detect, clean, and harden your website defences
• Blocking bots and brute force attacks to save your website resources.

If your website is already on a WordPress support plan with us, you don’t need to take any action — your plan has been automatically upgraded to include these security enhancements.
