Core Features of iThemes Security Pro:
- Brute Force Attack Protection: Limit the number of failed login attempts to block users after too many incorrect tries. This prevents hackers from guessing your password and gaining unauthorized access.
- File Change Detection: Receive email notifications if any files on your website are added, modified, or deleted—allowing you to detect potential hacks quickly.
- 404 Detection: If bots scan your website and generate numerous 404 errors, iThemes Security will automatically block their IP address after exceeding a set limit (default: 20 errors within 5 minutes).
- Strong Password Enforcement: Ensure that specific user roles (admin, editor, etc.) use strong passwords, which is crucial for maintaining WordPress security.
- Block Bad Users: Automatically block users who fail to log in multiple times, generate excessive 404 errors, or are flagged by a bot blacklist, protecting your site from malicious visitors.
- Scheduled Site Lockouts: Limit access to the WordPress dashboard during specific hours when no changes are being made to prevent unauthorized access.
- Hide Login & Admin: Change the default
/wp-admin/login.php
URL, making it harder for attackers to find your login page while also helping users easily remember their login link. - Database Backup: Automatically back up your website’s database and send it to external storage destinations via email, ensuring data protection.
- Security Notifications: Receive email alerts when users are blocked after multiple failed login attempts or if files on your site are modified.
- Malware Scanning: iThemes Security Pro integrates with Sucuri SiteCheck to scan your site daily for malware, blacklist statuses, website errors, and outdated software. If an issue is detected, you’ll receive email notifications.
- Automatic Updates: Outdated WordPress versions, themes, and plugins leave your site vulnerable to security risks. iThemes Security Pro can automatically update your WordPress installation, themes, and plugins, enhancing security by reducing exposure to known vulnerabilities.
- Magic Links: If your username is blocked due to Local Brute Force Protection, the Magic Links feature lets you request a special login link via email, bypassing the block while keeping attackers locked out.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of protection to your WordPress login by requiring both a password and a code sent to your mobile device. This ensures only you can log in—even if someone has guessed your password.
