Astra Security for WordPress

A never ending and ever-evolving threat

Cybersecurity threats are a never ending and ever-evolving issue for any small business. For a business to be successful in this cybersecurity-age, it is important to stay secure with various security measures. Your website security is a key target for any cyber threat, and this is where Astra Security comes in. Astra Security offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored specifically for WordPress website. Astra provides peace of mind for the business owner and protection for the website. 

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Astra’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) serves as a website’s first line of defense. It will work to filter out malicious traffic and users, and prevent various attacks (such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common web vulnerabilities). By blocking these threats before they reach a site, Astra’s WAF ensures a website remains secure and performs optimally.

Malware Scanner and Removal

One of the standout features of Astra Security is its powerful malware scanner. This tool actively scans your website for any signs of malware, ensuring early detection. Should any malicious code be found, Astra’s automatic removal feature cleans your site, restoring it to a safe state. This constant vigilance helps keep your site free from harmful software that could compromise your data or disrupt your services.

Security Audits

Regular security audits are essential to maintaining a secure website. Astra provides in-depth security audits that identify vulnerabilities within your WordPress installation. These audits come with actionable insights, enabling you to address potential weaknesses and bolster your site’s defenses.

Login Protection

Brute force attacks on login pages are a common threat to WordPress sites. Astra Security mitigates this risk by offering enhanced login protection features such as two-factor authentication (2FA), CAPTCHA challenges, and IP whitelisting. These measures ensure that only authorized users can access your admin dashboard, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

File Integrity Monitoring

Astra’s file integrity monitoring tool keeps a close eye on your WordPress core files. It alerts you to any unauthorized modifications, allowing you to take swift action if necessary. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your website and ensuring that no malicious changes go unnoticed.

Blacklisting and Whitelisting

Control who accesses your site with Astra’s blacklisting and whitelisting capabilities. You can block specific IP addresses that pose a threat or grant access only to trusted IPs. This customizable access control adds an extra layer of security to your website.

Real-Time Threat Analytics

Staying informed about potential risks is vital for effective website security. Astra provides real-time threat analytics and detailed reports, keeping you updated on the security status of your site. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions and take proactive measures to protect your online presence.

Automatic Updates

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and keeping your security measures up-to-date is essential. Astra Security ensures that your protection protocols and definitions are always current with automatic updates. This continuous improvement helps guard against new and emerging threats.
