One of the biggest misconceptions about Word Press is that it is an insecure content management system. While any CMS can be compromised by anybody with enough time and resources, there are many things you can do to your site that will prevent most if not all vulnerabilities. One of the biggest and simplest things you can do is use unique usernames and passwords for any accounts that are tied to the site, and for any databases and servers that have to do with your site. Another thing you can do is use plug-ins to prevent multiple failed login attempts or to hide certain areas of your site from specific IP addresses or anyone outside of your network. The biggest thing to remember is that the power to secure and lock down your site is in your hands and ultimately in your developer’s hands.
