Secure Your Website and Hard Work Online with Defencely

The security of your website should be among your first priorities.

You don’t want to waste all the hard work you put into your online business and have it hacked, for example.

This is even more a necessity if your income comes from working online.

There are a few steps you can take to secure your WordPress blog. I can suggest some important tips:

– use a ultra-safe password (using letters, numbers, uppercase, lowercase and special characters);

– erase the “admin” default user and create a personalized one;

– install “Limit Login Attempts” plugin, which limit the number of login attempts, including by way of cookies, for each IP (customizable);

– have a periodic backup (better if automatic – I do it three times, one on the server, one on my desktop computer, one on my 2 Tera external hard disk).

These are just some basic suggestions to help you secure your website.

But if you want to sleep soundly and if your business justify the cost, then you should invest on a premium service.

In this post, I want to introduce you Defencely, an online security firm founded in 2012.

 

About Defencely

Defencely.com is focused on safeguard the vulnerability of your website, offering security solutions.

The team runs a manual code review (most of the times the vulnerabilities come from problems with coding).

Their main goal is to look for weaknesses in the security system in order to solve them before ill-intentioned begins any attack.

While many companies in the same market use automated scanner tests, Defencely works with manual testing (many issues or vulnerabilities can be found just with manual testing, while are not detected if scanned by automated systems).

 

Zero False Positives

False Positives are web scripts or other common problems, that may appear as a threat, but they are not.

Have you ever run an antivirus software and got an alert of malware for files which actually were not an issue? That is an example of false positives.

Defencely ensures to avoid any cost or time spent on this matter.

 

0 Day Scanning
