There’s no good reason for WordPress security plugins to be so complicated. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Shield is the easiest security plugin to setup – you simply activate it. Then a beautiful, step-by-step wizard will walk you through the basic configuration.

And you can dig deeper, any time you’re ready.

Trust: Shield Does Exactly What It Says It Will Do

You’ve probably been let down in the past, but Shield is the WordPress Security solution that does what it says it’ll do – Protect Your Site.

Constant notifications are not okay. You’re already busy!

Instead, Shield Security does it what it needs to do, and alerts you if and when you need to informed.

Shield is your Silent Guardian. It doesn’t squawk at you every time a visitor presses against your defenses.

It’ll do its job without moaning at you, and leave you in peace to get on with your job.

You’re not alone, and there’s no risk to test it out.

You can try out Shield alongside any other security plugins, and it comes highly recommended
– it has the highest average rating for any WP Security plugin.

Easy-to-setup, but powerful protection blocks attacks and suspicious activity, but won’t lock you out.

Login and Identity Security Protection – Stops Brute Force Attacks

Note: Login Guard is a completely independent feature to the Firewall.

With the Login Guard this plugin will single-handedly prevent brute force login attacks on all your WordPress sites.

It doesn’t need IP Address Ban Lists (which are actually useless anyway), and instead puts hard limits on your WordPress site,
and force users to verify themselves when they login.

Three core security features provide layers to protect the WordPress Login system.

1. Email-based 2-Factor Login Authentication based on IP address! (prevents brute force login attacks)
2. Login Cooldown Interval – WordPress will only process 1 login per interval in seconds (prevents brute force login attacks)
3. GASP Anti-Bot Login Form Protection – Adds 2 protection checks for all WordPress login attempts (prevents brute force login attacks using Bots)

These options alone will protect and secure your WordPress sites from nearly all forms of Brute Force login attacks.

And you hardly need to configure anything! Simply check the options to turn them on, set a cooldown interval and you’re instantly protected.

SPAM and Comments Filtering

As of version 1.6, this plugin integrates GASP Spambot Protection.

We have taken this functionality a level further and added the concept of unique, per-page visit, Comment Tokens.

Comment Tokens are unique keys that are created every time a page loads and they are uniquely generated based on 3 factors:

1. The visitors IP address.
2. The Page they are viewing
3. A unique, random number, generated at the time the page is loaded.

This is all handle automatically and your users will not be affected – they’ll still just have a checkbox like the original GASP plugin.

These comment tokens are then embedded in the comment form and must be presented to your WordPress site when a comment is posted. The plugin
will then examine the token, the IP address from which the comment is coming, and page upon which the comment is being posted. They must
all match before the comment is accepted.

Furthermore, we place a cooldown (i.e. you must wait X seconds before you can post using that token) and an expiration on these comment tokens.
The reasons for this are:

1. Cooldown means that a spambot cannot load a page, read the unique comment token and immediately re-post a comment to that page. It must wait
   a while. This has the effect of slowing down the spambots, and, if the spambots get it wrong, they’ve wasted that token – as tokens can only
   be used once.
2. Expirations mean that a spambot cannot get the token and use it whenever it likes, it must use it within the specfied time.

This all combines to make it much more difficult for spambots (and also human spammers as they have to now wait) to work their dirty magic 🙂
