WordPress Security

The popularity of WordPress (WP) makes it an appealing target for intruders. Outdated versions of WordPress installations, themes & plugins could result in your website being attacked. Vulnerabilities make your website susceptible to intrusions from outsiders with malicious intent.

Cloud-Based Web Application Firewall

We know that you care deeply about the website you manage, and that you want to do everything necessary to ensure web safety and security.

Website hacking is a cause for concern for anyone managing a website or operating their business online, and hackers are becoming more sophisticated by the day. With that in mind, our hosting provider, Hetzner partnered with Cloudbric, a cloud-based application firewall (WAF) that will shield your website against hackers and malicious traffic.

What is Cloud Bric?

Centralised security for WordPress. In essence, Cloudbric is a cloud-based web application firewall. What that means is that it guards against suspicious website traffic, specifically looking for attempts to exploit security flaws in the website’s code.

Cloudbric can prevent exploits like:

SQL Injection
XSS (Cross Site Scripting)
Website DDoS
File Inclusion
Cookie Poisoning
