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
• Take daily full backup and store it away from your server. Backup to Dropbox is one option you can try.
• Updating themes and plugins is crucial for security.
