Welcome to Learn WordPress. Let's talk about 7 tips to improve website security.
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
|
|
Number one, use a password manager and secure passwords for your logins.
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000
|
|
Password managers such as OnePassword and Bitwarden are worth exploring.
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
|
|
One of the most common areas for security failure is unfortunately the human one.
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:31,000
|
|
No two passwords should ever be the same and ensure passwords are at least 10 to 12 characters and include numbers and symbols.
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
|
|
And remember, never use admin as a username.
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:46,000
|
|
Password managers store your passwords securely and allow you to generate unique secure passwords for each login without needing to remember each one.
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
|
|
Number two, use a two-factor authentication.
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:58,000
|
|
Two-factor authentication can significantly enhance the security of your WordPress site by adding an extra layer of protection to the login process.
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
|
|
This way, even if someone else gets your password, they still can't log into your account without that second factor.
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:14,000
|
|
Two-factor authentication may seem like a small step, but it can greatly improve the security of your online accounts and help protect your personal information.
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:25,000
|
|
You can search for a two-factor authentication plugin such as WP2FA, two-factor authentication or Mini-Orange's Google Authenticator.
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:33,000
|
|
Some security plugins also include two-factor authentication, but we will talk more about security plugins in a minute.
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
|
|
Number three, always review your user base.
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
|
|
Remove unnecessary users and be very selective of admin users.
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
|
|
Let's make our way to users in the dashboard.
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
|
|
User roles such as editors, authors and contributors should be monitored.
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
|
|
Typically, the administrative role is reserved for the website's owner.
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
|
|
Removing unnecessary users will minimize the potential attack surface or entry points that attackers can exploit.
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:10,000
|
|
Number four, only install plugins and themes from trust to developers and uninstall what you are not using.
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
|
|
To assess the reliability of a theme or plugin, there are a few things to review.
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
|
|
Check user feedback and reviews.
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
|
|
Note when it was last updated.
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:36,000
|
|
Look at the number of active installs, explore their support and documentation and double check that it is compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000
|
|
Number five, keep your plugins and themes up to date and remember to back up your site before updating.
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
|
|
But you might be asking why.
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:55,000
|
|
Keeping your WordPress themes and plugins up to date is important for maintaining the security, stability and compatibility of your site.
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,000
|
|
Updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities in software as well as bug fixes that could cause your site to malfunction or break.
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
|
|
These bugs could also potentially be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to your site.
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:21,000
|
|
By keeping your website up to date, you can ensure that your site is protected against the latest security threats and runs smoothly with the latest web technologies.
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:34,000
|
|
Number six, install a security plugin like WordFence, Jetpack Security or iThemes that will scan your site for any reported vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:45,000
|
|
There are also many other plugins available in the plugins directory worth exploring such as patch stack, all-in-one security, etc.
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,000
|
|
A website security plugin can help protect your website from common cyber threats, block malicious traffic and alert you to potential security issues.
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
|
|
In essence, a security plugin will help you maintain the security and integrity of your website.
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
|
|
And finally number seven, something for more advanced users.
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:18,000
|
|
Follow security-focused blogs like patch stack, WP scan or blog.security which report any new vulnerabilities for which there are updates as well as emerging web threats.
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
|
|
Then there are also some other steps worth exploring.
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,333
|
|
Firstly, choosing a reliable web host.
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:04:23,333 --> 00:04:35,000
|
|
Secondly, installing an SSL certificate if your host has not already installed one which will allow you to enable HTTPS which ensures that no information is passed in plain text.
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,000
|
|
And thirdly, using a spam detector, especially if you have a blog or allow comments on posts.
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
|
|
All the best keeping your site safe and secure.
