<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">Website security is the cornerstone of a successful online business. <strong>WordPress Security</strong> is especially important as WordPress by default is not very secure. You are connected to a database, user passwords and FTP (files). </p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">There are more chances for hackers to break into a WordPress website than a basic static HTML website. Unfortunately, many companies think about their site’s security as an afterthought.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">And by the time they realize there’s a security issue, it’s already too late. All the hard work they put into building a site can be thrown out the window by spammers, viruses, hack attempts, and more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading gutenx-wrapper">Website Security</h2>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">Today, we’re going to share 13 of the best <a href="https://wordpress.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WordPress security plugins</a> you can use to protect your site. This list includes:</p>


<ol class=" gutenx-wrapper axgutenx-styles-uid-76bfe3">
<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">Sucuri</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">iThemes Security</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">Wordfence Security</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">All in One WP Security &amp; Firewall</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">Anti-Malware Security</li>
</ol>


<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">With any of these WordPress security tools, you can rest assured that your website and client data will be safe from viruses, hackers, and other online threats.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">But before we dive into the list, let’s get clear on whether you need a security plugin for WordPress in the first place.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading gutenx-wrapper">Do you need a WordPress Security Plugin?</h3>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">Far too many people make the mistake of assuming hackers only target big companies. They think hackers only go for retail giants with databases of customer information like names, email addresses, and credit card details.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">The truth is that hackers target everyone, including small eCommerce companies doing low-volume transactions.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">So if you’re a WordPress user with an online store, you likely need a security plugin no matter what stage of business you are in.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">From those just starting out to those who’ve spent years building trust with their target audience, these plugins can make or break your online success.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">Still skeptical about the importance of security for your small <a href="https://websiteadmin.co.za/website-administrators-south-africa/ecommerce-web-designer-south-africa/">eCommerce site</a>? Consider the following statistics:</p>


<ul class=" gutenx-wrapper axgutenx-styles-uid-43ce84">
<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">43% of cyber attacks are <strong>directed at small businesses</strong>.</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">Less than 15% of small businesses surveyed admit they’re <strong>equipped to overcome the damage</strong> caused by data breaches and other cyber attacks.</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper">A whopping 60% of small companies <strong>go out of business</strong> six months after experiencing a cyber attack.</li>



<li class=" gutenx-wrapper"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn.optinmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/types-of-info-concerned-about-protecting-from-cyber-attackers.png" alt="types of info users are concerned about protecting from cyber attackers" srcset="https://cdn.optinmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/types-of-info-concerned-about-protecting-from-cyber-attackers.png 620w, https://cdn.optinmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/types-of-info-concerned-about-protecting-from-cyber-attackers-300x194.png 300w" width="620" height="400"></li>
</ul>


<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">You can optimize conversion rates and grow your email list all you want, but if you don’t secure your eCommerce site, you risk losing your business.</p>



<p class=" gutenx-wrapper">Now, let’s dive into our top security plugins list.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading gutenx-wrapper">The Best WordPress Security Plugins in 2023</h2>
