Security is an aspect that should be your concern if you have a website. If your website is built with WordPress, there are a bunch of security plugins you can use to protect your website. One of which is Sucuri. It is a feature-rich security plugin that offers features like a firewall, malware scanning tool, and activity monitoring. Once installed and activated, the plugin will audit the security aspect of your website and provide reports on which parts need to be changed for the sake of security improvement.
