WP Security Ninja walkthrough

Stop bad traffic before WordPress loads

Pro Cloud Firewall combines request filtering with a living blocklist of known bad IPs, country rules, and redirects, so most attacks never become a WordPress problem.

  • ✓ 600M+ known bad IPs updated regularly
  • ✓ Country blocking and custom IP lists
  • ✓ Service-aware whitelists for tools you already use

Harden logins with limits, rename, and 2FA

Brute-force bots love the default login page. Pro adds failed-login limits, a custom login URL, and two-factor authentication with authenticator apps or email codes.

  • ✓ Role-required or opt-in 2FA
  • ✓ Grace period so teams can enroll calmly
  • ✓ Works alongside rename-login and lockout messages

Get alerts where your team already works

Full events logging plus webhooks means failed logins, firewall blocks, and updates can land in Slack, Discord, or Zapier, not only inside wp-admin.

  • ✓ Filter and export security events
  • ✓ Webhook payloads for automation
  • ✓ Scheduled scan reports by email
