If you’re serious about safeguarding your website from potential threats and malicious attacks, NinjaFirewall could be the solution you need. This unique security plugin stands out as a true Web Application Firewall, providing protection even before WordPress initiates. With its array of robust security features, NinjaFirewall effectively blocks attacks proactively, thereby conserving bandwidth and reducing server load.
Comprehensive Web Application Firewall
NinjaFirewall meticulously inspects, scans, and sanitizes HTTP requests directed towards PHP scripts. Notably, it shields all PHP scripts, even those not native to WordPress. This includes third-party applications, encrypted scripts, and potential hacker exploits.
The firewall effectively guards against various threats like remote and local file inclusion, cross-site scripting, code execution, SQL injection, along with the potential to modify and secure HTTP headers, cookies, detect Base64-encoded injection attempts, thwart file uploads, and combat numerous other security risks.
Top-notch Brute-force Attack Protection
NinjaFirewall’s pre-emptive processing of incoming HTTP requests shields WordPress against large-scale brute-force attacks, even distributed assaults from thousands of IP addresses. It extends protection to the XML-RPC API and can log attack details in the server’s AUTH log.
Diverse Security Rules and Firewall Policies
NinjaFirewall employs customizable policies and rules to combat malicious requests. These firewall policies encompass a wide range of configurable options, from basic to advanced settings. Security rules, tailored for generic and WordPress-specific threats, can be individually activated or deactivated.
For optimum protection, the firewall autonomously updates its security rules to shield against the latest WordPress vulnerabilities. Users also have the flexibility to incorporate custom PHP code to bolster security further.
Additional Features
In addition to its core functionalities, NinjaFirewall offers attributes like file integrity monitoring, real-time threat detection, event notifications, live website traffic monitoring, an activity log with insights and benchmarks. It is compatible with IPv6 and can be seamlessly integrated into WordPress multisite networks.
