I’ve already written about different ways to secure your WordPress site:
- WPEngine only host WordPress and focus on security and speed.
- WPEngine offer backup and restore points.
- WordFence is one of the best all in one security plugins
- Change your username and password to at least 10 digits long containing upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols
