WP Ghost and Wordfence Security

Table of Contents

WP Ghost is a hack-prevention security solution for your WordPress site. Together with the WordFence plugin, it will boost your website security by stopping hacker bot attacks, spammers, and viruses and preventing data loss.

Advantages

  • Both plugins have complementary features that will boost your website security.
  • Both plugins load fast and work with SEO and Cache plugins.
  • Both plugins work on all server types (Apache, Nginx, IIS, LiteSpeed, etc).
  • WP Ghost is a hack-prevention security and prevents hacker bots from accessing vulnerable files, plugins, and themes.
  • Wordfence works like a firewall to prevent Brute Force attacks, integrity scan, malware scan and more.

HMWP Ghost will complement the Wordfence plugin by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t provide.

Wordfence

Wordfence firewall leverages user identity information in over 85% of the firewall rules, something cloud firewalls don’t have access to. And unlike cloud solutions, the firewall doesn’t need to break end-to-end encryption.

WP Ghost

WP Ghost prevents attacks and spamming by adding multiple layers of security, a powerful firewall, hiding and securing the WP core paths and files, themes, and plugins.

It also prevents SQL and Script injections and Brute Force attacks.
