🛡 Built & tested by ethical hackers

Built by hackers.
Now on your side.

For ten years, our team was hired to break into WordPress websites. DefendMyWP is that experience turned into a firewall. It blocks the very break-in attempts we used to get in: the ones that try to steal your data, hijack logins or take over your website, before they ever reach it.

Tuned for how WordPress actually gets attacked, nothing generic.

Security from the attacker’s side

Most WordPress firewalls are built by defenders guessing what attackers do. DefendMyWP was built by the attackers.

We’ve run these attacks ourselves

Every rule exists because we used that exact technique to get into a real WordPress website. DefendMyWP blocks what we know works.

Attackers are smart. Your firewall should be too.

Simple blocking rules are easy to get around. We’ve used the tricks attackers use, so DefendMyWP catches the disguised attempts too.

We focus on the attacks that matter most

The break‑ins that take over websites need no login, or only a low‑level account, so that’s where our rules concentrate.

☔ No patch wait

Protection that doesn’t wait for a patch

A newly announced weakness used to take days to turn into a real attack. With AI, attackers now do it in minutes, long before a patch is ready or installed. DefendMyWP blocks the whole vulnerability class so a brand‑new flaw is stopped the moment someone tries it, not days later.

  • Covers brand-new and unknown weaknesses, no waiting for a patch
  • Protected the moment a new vulnerability appears, not days later
  • One firewall guards every plugin and theme at once

Everything you need to stop web attacks

Real detection, not a checklist. Attacks are stopped even when they are disguised to slip past basic filters.

Application firewall

Checks every request before your plugins load and blocks attacks hidden anywhere in it.

Health Check

Scans your files against known-good copies to flag malware and unexpected changes.

Activity log

Logs key admin actions (users, plugins, themes, settings) so nothing happens unseen.

One-click hardening

Disable the file editor, XML-RPC, user enumeration, version disclosure and pingbacks, all reversible, no files edited.

Login protection

Locks out an IP after too many failed logins, with clear logging of every lockout.

Two-factor authentication

Adds a second login step with an authenticator code for your privileged accounts.

What a WordPress hack costs you

Attacks on WordPress are automated, so it is not personal. A bot finds your website, and one weak point sets off everything after it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it block every attack?

No. Like any firewall, we can’t promise 100% protection against every cyberattack. What we can do is block whole classes of attack rather than rely on a list of specific known threats, so brand‑new and disguised attempts are stopped too, not just the ones already in a database. It also fails open, so it protects you without ever taking your website offline.

Who builds DefendMyWP?

A team of ethical hackers, penetration testers who spent a decade breaking into WordPress websites for a living. Every rule and default in the plugin comes from that first-hand attack experience.

Does it conflict with other security plugins?

It can run alongside them, and the built-in self-test detects when another firewall is intercepting requests first, so you can avoid double-blocking.

What do updates include?

A managed rule feed that adds and tightens attack detection over time, plus plugin updates.

What about brand-new threats that have no fix yet?

That is where DefendMyWP shines. It blocks whole categories of attack, so you are protected against brand-new and unknown weaknesses without waiting for a specific fix.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, there is a 14-day money-back guarantee. Cancel anytime from your customer dashboard.
