Why do you need updated security?

A WordPress Security plugin provides many valuable functions, but at its most basic, a WordPress security plugin protects your website from attacks during the time it is vulnerable. WordPress Security is a subject of big relevance for every single internet site proprietor. Google blacklists ~ daily 10,000+ internet domains for malware as well as ~ weekly 50,000 for phishing.

Even if your website starts protected, in time it will certainly come to be much less and less protected. It's important to secure on your own from hackers who are continuously seeking vulnerabilities within the popular WordPress CMS.

Once hackers find and exploit these vulnerabilities, then developers will patch those holes and release an update for their users. However, there’s a time gap of weeks or even months, between the time when the vulnerability is exploited and the patch is provided. During this time you’re exposed.

What is Vulnerability Knowledge?

As time passes, vulnerabilities are discovered in your plugins, theme and the version of WordPress core you are using. Those vulnerabilities (or Security holes) ALWAYS become public knowledge sooner rather, than later.

Can MY WordPress be hacked?

"No System Is Safe" and also WordPress is not an exemption. WordPress simply BY ITSELF is very secure. Stats reveal that 41% of hacked WordPress websites get hacked through WordPress hosting vulnerabilities, 29% through a theme, 22% through a plugin, and also 8% as a result of weak passwords. The Security of your site is only as good as the foundation it’s running on. That’s why it’s important to audit existing Security measures already in place, such as WP Security Plugin Vulnerabilities MAR 2023.
