iThemes Security Pro

iThemes Security shows you a list of things to do to make your site more secure with a simple way to turn options on or off. We’ve simplified these steps and provided descriptions of each action so you know exactly what’s happening on your site. You shouldn’t have to be a security pro to use a security plugin. And isn’t that the point?

Defend your site from attacks you never knew existed.
Brute Force Protection
Limit the number of failed login attempts allowed per user. If someone is trying to guess your password, they’ll get locked out after a few tries. You can even whitelist your own IP, so you’re allowed more login attempts.

File Change Detection
If someone manages to get into your site, they’ll probably add, remove or change a file. Get email alerts showing any file changes so you know if you’ve been hacked.

404 Detection
If a bot is scanning your site for vulnerabilities, it will generate a lot of 404 errors. iThemes Security will lock out that IP after the limit you set (20 errors in 5 minutes by default).

Strong Password Enforcement
Set which level of users on your site (admins, editors, users, etc.) need to have strong passwords. This is one of the best ways to secure your site.

Lock Out Bad Users
Keep bad users away from your site if they have too many failed login attempts, a lot of 404 errors or if they’re on a bot blacklist.

Away Mode
Not making changes to your site 24 hours a day? Make the admin area inaccessible during specific hours so no one else can sneak in.

Hide Login & Admin
You can change the URL of your login area and admin area so attackers won’t know where to look. This feature is also great to help clients remember their login link.

Database Backups
Schedule database backups and have them emailed to you. Or you can get BackupBuddy to step up your backup game. Make complete backups and send them to off-site storage destinations.

Email Notifications
Get email notifications when someone gets locked out after too many failed login attempts or when a file on your site has been changed.

2-Factor Authentication
NEW
Strong passwords not enough? Use 2-Factor Authentication to send a custom code to your phone when you log in. This extra layer of protection verifies it’s you logging in (and not someone who guessed your password).

iThemes Sync Integration
NEW
With iThemes Sync, you can check the status of your sites, clear logs and lockouts or set Away Mode while you’re on vacation – all from one easy-to-use, secure dashboard.

Geo-IP Banning
COMING SOON
