 * HI There,
 * Please can someone advise if jetpack can be used in conjunction with wordfence
   security plugin as i have noticed it has its own security aspects.
 * Will jetpack on its own suffice?
 * Can i get some comments on both and if worth activating these plugins?
 * Thanks in advance

 * You should be able to use WordFence alongside Jetpack, as long as you do not 
   set WordFence to completely block access to your site’s XML-RPC file. Jetpack
   uses that file to communicate with WordPress.com, and needs that file to be accessible.
 * No worries though; Jetpack’s Protect module protects the XML-RPC file against
   abuse, so the file will be protected.

 * Thanks for the info Jeremy.
 * Would you say then just using Jetpack would be enough and i don’t have to worry
   about using wordfence alongside?

 * WordFence offers functionality that’s not included in Jetpack’s Protect module.
   If you’re interested in [some of these features](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/),
   I think you should install the plugin, in addition to Jetpack.

 * So i am a first time user and wordpress blog builder so im not actually sure 
   of what i really need.
 * I just want to ensure my site is protected from spam and attacks of all sorts.

 * I’d suggest that you install the plugin, and look at the different features it
   offers. You can give them a try, and see if they prove useful after a few months.
