Platform Security
WordPress Security, Built Into the Platform
Protection starts at the network level, long before threats reach WordPress.
- Platform-level WordPress hardening (no plugins required)
- Malicious traffic blocked before it hits your site
- Continuous malware scanning and threat detection
- Managed by UK-based security and WordPress engineers
Why WordPress Security Shouldn't Live Inside WordPress
- Runs inside WordPress
- Consumes site resources
- Reacts after requests are processed
- Requires configuration and maintenance
- Runs at network and server level
- Stops attacks before WordPress loads
- No performance penalty
- Fully managed and always on
Security should reduce risk, not add complexity.
Layered Security, Designed for Real-World Attacks
Instead of relying on a single tool, G7Cloud applies multiple security layers across the entire stack.
Network-level protection
- IDS/IPS traffic filtering
- Malicious traffic blocked automatically
- DDoS and abuse mitigation
Outcome
Attacks are stopped before they reach your site.
Platform-level WordPress hardening
- Secure WordPress configuration by default
- Login and XML-RPC protection
- File system and permission hardening
Outcome
Reduces attack surface without plugins.
Continuous malware scanning
- Ongoing scanning for known threats
- Detection of suspicious changes
- Proactive remediation when required
Outcome
Issues are detected early, not after damage is done.
Application-aware protection
- Bot detection and rate limiting
- Protection against brute-force and credential abuse
- Traffic behaviour analysis
Outcome
Legitimate users get through. Attackers don't.
