WordPress Security Monitoring

24/7 WordPress security monitoring with real-time threat detection, web application firewall, malware scanning, brute-force protection, and file integrity monitoring.

What's Included

Everything you get with our WordPress Security Monitoring

Real-Time Threat Detection

Continuous monitoring that identifies and blocks malicious login attempts, injection attacks, and suspicious file changes as they happen

Web Application Firewall

A firewall layer that filters malicious traffic before it reaches your site, blocking known attack patterns and bad IP addresses

Malware Scanning and Removal

Daily automated scans that detect malware, backdoors, and unauthorized code changes with immediate alerts and cleanup if anything is found

Our Security Monitoring Process

1

Security Audit

We perform a thorough security assessment of your WordPress installation: checking for known vulnerabilities, weak passwords, unnecessary user accounts, file permissions, exposed configuration files, and outdated software that attackers commonly exploit.

2

Hardening and Firewall Setup

We implement security hardening measures including a web application firewall, login protection, file permission lockdowns, XML-RPC restrictions, and database security configurations. These layers significantly reduce your attack surface.

3

Continuous Monitoring Activation

We activate 24/7 monitoring that includes real-time threat detection, daily malware scans, file integrity monitoring, and login activity tracking. Our team receives instant alerts for any suspicious activity.

4

Incident Response and Reporting

If a security event occurs, our team responds immediately to contain and resolve the threat. You receive monthly security reports detailing threats blocked, scans completed, and the overall security posture of your site.

Key Benefits

Real-Time Threat Detection

Our monitoring systems watch your site continuously for brute-force login attempts, SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and other common WordPress threats. Suspicious activity is blocked automatically and our team is alerted for manual review of anything unusual.

Daily Malware Scanning

Automated scans check every file on your site daily, comparing against known malware signatures and detecting unauthorized code changes. If malware is found, our team is alerted immediately and begins cleanup before the infection can spread or impact your visitors.

Web Application Firewall

A firewall layer sits between your site and incoming traffic, filtering out known attack patterns, blocking malicious IP addresses, and preventing common exploits from ever reaching your WordPress installation. This stops the vast majority of automated attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my WordPress site really being attacked?

Almost certainly. Wordfence data shows that WordPress sites collectively face 90,000 attacks per minute. Most of these are automated bots that scan every WordPress site on the internet looking for outdated plugins, weak passwords, and known vulnerabilities. Even small business sites with modest traffic are targeted because the attacks are automated and indiscriminate.

What happens if my site gets hacked despite monitoring?

While our multi-layered security dramatically reduces the risk, no system is 100% impervious. If a breach occurs, our monitoring detects it quickly, and our team immediately isolates the infection, removes the malware, patches the vulnerability that was exploited, and restores your site from a clean backup. We also submit reconsideration requests to Google if your site was flagged.

Do I still need security monitoring if my plugins are up to date?

Yes. While keeping plugins updated eliminates the most common attack vector, it is not the only one. Attackers also exploit weak passwords, vulnerable server configurations, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and zero-day vulnerabilities that have not been patched yet. Security monitoring provides defense-in-depth that protects against the full spectrum of threats.

Will security monitoring slow down my site?

No. Our security infrastructure is designed to have minimal performance impact. The web application firewall actually improves performance for most sites by blocking malicious bot traffic that was consuming server resources. Malware scans run during low-traffic periods to avoid any impact on your visitors' experience.
