(Hosting-NewsWire.com, February 23, 2014 ) Marietta, GA -- WordPress is one of the most popular website platforms on the internet today. In fact, more than 18% of websites are now powered by WordPress. That is an incredible chunk of the internet pie, and it goes to show how far WordPress has come in just 10 short years. WordPress is now the preeminent content management system (CMS) for the web.
Part of the beauty of WordPress is that it is open source, but what is popular with users also becomes popular among hackers. So WordPress' open-source nature means that anyone can have access to the code that makes WordPress work. For developers, this means they are able to create amazing plugins and apps that make WordPress do incredible things. But for hackers, it makes their nefarious coding that much easier.
But so it goes with life on the internet as the world's most prolific CMS. The good news is it possible to have the rock-solid reliability and flexibility WordPress offers, all while making it incredibly secure. Many WordPress vulnerabilities can be patched fairly easily by a skilled admin, but other vulnerabilities require a more technical approach. White Sunrise, LLC can help with both.
As the result of their vast experience with WordPress, White Sunrise, LLC developed several custom techniques for hardening WordPress installations so that WordPress is nearly impervious to the vast majority of techniques hackers employ against WordPress. These custom hardening techniques can be classified into two levels: Base-Level Hardening and Advanced-Level Hardening.
Base-Level Hardening
More often than not the default settings left in place in a new Wordpress site that makes the site vulnerable to attack. It would be akin to a new house where the contractor hands over the keys but the default security code is still programmed into the alarm system. If a thief knew that default code or was able to guess it, gaining unauthorized access would be simple.
Removing the Default User Accounts
A common password used to be "password" until users realized picking something a little more secure was a good idea. Well, WordPress comes with a few default user accounts that are almost as bad as the old "password" password. White Sunrise, LLC will go in and change out the default settings so that hackers will walk away pulling their hair and shaking their fists at the sky.
Advanced-Level Hardening
Occasionally, website owners want to be very sure their website and any user data it contains are locked up as tightly as possible. For these scenarios, White Sunrise uses one of their two advanced-level WordPress hardening techniques. These advanced solutions provide the absolute most secure WordPress install possible, and they keep high security clients sleeping easy at night.
Two-Stage Authentication
This implementation forces users to login twice to gain access to the admin panel. While it may feel redundant to the user, this is almost a silver bullet solution for preventing unwanted access to the Wordpress Admin area. The secondary login stage is hard coded directly into the server and therefore impervious to attacks from uploaded scripts or standard penetration methods. This process becomes even more secure with a unique, non-default username and secure password.
It's Time To Make Hackers Cry
WordPress is such a great platform, but it requires being implemented correctly. Fortunately, that's one of the things White Sunrise, LLC does quite well. They love frustrating hackers and their clients love not having to worry about the security of their site.
