The problem with using security plugins is that they tend to try to do too many things, while the creator of the Bulletproof Security plugin has recently confirmed that s2Member already provides very good security.
So I’d turn the question around and ask what is it that you want to achieve.
It may well be possible to add some code as an mu-plugin or in a theme’s functions.php file that does what you want. Or it may even be that another plugin, not marketed as a “security plugin,” can do what you are looking for.

Thanks for responding 🙂
We have been experiencing recent brute force flood against the xmlrpc.php file of the site that have been making the site inaccessible.
I’d say that the best method for dealing with that is not from within WordPress itself, but at the server level. If you have a good host, they should be able to set up better protection for you. (Mine has three levels of automatic brute force protection.)
