WordPress powers over 40% of the web, making it a prime target for hackers. However, by taking a few proactive steps, you can significantly reduce your risk of a breach.

1. Keep Everything Updated

The simplest and most effective security measure is keeping WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated. Developers constantly patch vulnerabilities in new releases.

2. Use Strong Passwords & 2FA

Brute force attacks are incredibly common. Ensure all administrator accounts use strong, unique passwords and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Pro Tip: OrientCraft's Managed WordPress hosting automatically handles core updates and includes a Web Application Firewall (WAF) out of the box.
