OSKY relies on Wordfence as its chosen Intrusion Detection and Prevention System for safeguarding WordPress sites. As a robust WordPress security plugin, Wordfence seamlessly integrates intrusion detection and prevention systems. Notably, Wordfence features an advanced firewall, serving as a critical network perimeter defense mechanism tailored specifically for WordPress sites. Here is an overview of OSKY’s instruction detection system via Wordfence:

1. Firewall:

• Web Application Firewall (WAF) – Wordfence includes a WAF that helps protect WordPress sites from various online threats. The WAF acts as a network perimeter defense system, monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet.

2. Intrusion Detection:

• Signature-Based Detection – Wordfence uses signature-based detection to identify known patterns or signatures of malicious activity. It maintains a signature database that is regularly updated to stay current with emerging threats.
• Behavioral Analysis – The plugin also employs behavioural analysis to identify patterns indicative of suspicious or malicious behavioural. This involves monitoring user behavioural, application usage, and network interactions to detect deviations from normal behavioural.

3. Prevention Measures:

• Blocking Suspicious Traffic – When Wordfence identifies potentially malicious activity, it can take preventive measures such as blocking the suspicious traffic, IP addresses, or specific attack patterns.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Wordfence provides real-time monitoring of website traffic, allowing it to respond to security threats immediately.

4. Regular Updates:

• Signature Updates – Wordfence regularly updates its signature database to ensure that the system can detect and block the latest known threats.
• Software Updates: Regular software updates are provided to address vulnerabilities and improve overall security.

5. Security Scanning:

• Malware Scanning – Wordfence includes malware scanning capabilities to detect and remove malicious code or files from the WordPress site.

6. Login Security:

• Brute Force Protection – Wordfence offers protection against brute force attacks by limiting login attempts and implementing other login security measures.

It’s important to note that while Wordfence provides a robust security solution for WordPress sites, the effectiveness of any security tool depends on proper configuration, regular updates, and adherence to security best practices. OSKY ensures its clients are always informed about the latest security threats and follow recommended security guidelines to enhance the overall security of their WordPress websites.
