According to a recent study by Sucuri, in 2018 WordPress was the target of 90% of all hacking attempts on content management systems. WordPress remains the most lucrative target for hackers and faces an average of 90,000 attacks per minute. Another study by Kinsta revealed that over 4,500 WordPress websites are hacked per week, 8% of which are down to weak or stolen passwords. With these statistics in mind, the recently released report from AI For WordPress is intended to help users enhance their website security, using the powers of AI.

As explained in the report, artificial intelligence allows website owners to detect and prevent security threats in real-time. “AI-powered security plugins can monitor your website 24/7, scanning every file and database for suspicious activity,” says the guide. “They can also analyze data and identify patterns that indicate a potential security breach.”

Furthermore, AI can be used to block IP addresses that may be used by hackers trying to guess login credentials, explains the report. This significantly reduces the risk of brute force attacks, which are responsible for over 80% of all security breaches on WordPress.

The report stresses the importance of using AI-powered plugins to help block malicious login attempts. Recommending the comprehensive security plugin Wordfence, the experts explain how this tool can prevent brute force attacks using an application-level firewall. Wordfence has detected and blocked more than 5 million attacks on WordPress websites since its creation in 2012 and is one of the best plugins for real-time threat defense, according to the experts.

Another plugin recommended in the report is Malcare, a security tool offering real-time scanning, malware removal and website backups. A spokesperson for the company says: “Remember to always keep your WordPress website up-to-date, use strong passwords, and regularly back up your data to further enhance your website's security.”
