What is Wordfence?
Wordfence is a WordPress security plugin that installs directly on a site and provides an endpoint firewall, malware scanner, and login security tools such as two-factor authentication and brute-force protection. Because the firewall runs inside WordPress rather than in front of it in the cloud, it cannot be bypassed by attackers who find the origin server IP.
The free version delivers firewall rules and malware signatures with a 30-day delay, while paid tiers unlock real-time threat intelligence. Higher tiers, Care and Response, add hands-on setup, monitoring, and incident response from Wordfence's own security team for businesses that want managed protection.
