Common sense, simple security for WordPress. Many presentations have lots of complicated .htaccess tricks, moving/hiding files, etc. However, if people are overwhelmed with details, they tend to not do anything. If I were to summarize what you MUST do for security, I'd say:
1 - BACKUP - find a backup tool and use it. Subscribe to VaultPress.com or host your site with WPEngine.com or purchase BackupBuddy plugin and schedule regular backups. If you're short on cash, use BackWPUp plugin and download your wp-content folder.
2 - UPDATE - All plugins, themes, and WordPress at least once a month or whenever there is a security update. Sign up for an account at WordPress.org, so you'll get notices of WordPress security updates.
3 - DELETE -- All unused plugins and themes. These are your biggest security risks. Delete all unused copies of WordPress you might have installed on your server.
4 - BE CAUTIOUS - Don't use plugins willy nilly. Do some research. They are not all made the same, and they will leave you vulnerable to hacking.
5 - PASSWORDS -- Use strong, randomly generated passwords, all different, for everything - your hosting, ftp, WP login, and email. Use 1Password.com to track your passwords easily and securely.
6 - SECURITY PLUGINS -- Run Firewall 2 and Limit Login Attempts. There are others, but I don't know how well they play with others and what things they modify. You can check out Bulletproof Security and Better WP Security.
7 - BEST PRACTICES - See the slideshow for some other best practices regarding users, comments, etc.
If you just do the above 6 things systematically, you'll be far ahead of your peers! Good luck!

developer turns it over to you.

before you try to do it alone.
9. • Always save to someplace OTHER than your server

machine
• Have them scheduled to be made daily or at least
weekly

related.
The biggest source of nearly all hacks is due to lack of updating.

Envato products (ThemeForest and
CodeCanyon) always check the box in
the downloads to be notified of updates.
That is the only way you will know if any of their products
need to be updated.

password on any of the things.
NEVER!!!!
Any questions?
Adm1n and Pa55w0rd do not count either!
19. Only give users the
access they need
Just because they want to be an admin does not mean they should.
Guest bloggers should rarely every be anything more than a
contributor.
Sometimes they do not need access to all the things
20. If it is a temporary login, delete
the user when they are done
doing all of their things
If they do have posts, you can convert them to different users
or make them a subscriber with limited access.
21. Set up file detection to
make sure nothing ever
sneaks in.
Many security plugins like iThemes Security and
WordFence will alert you when files have been changed
22. • iThemes Security (Free and Pro version
• Sucuri Firewall
• WordFence Security
• Jetpack with Brute Protect and Vault Press
Security Plugins I recommend
23. Only keep the plugins and
themes you have active on
your site.
An uninstalled plugin or theme is not a potential vulnerability.
Use the plugins repo favorites option to keep a list
of your favorite plugins
24. Malware Scanning? Do I need it?
• Google Webmaster Tools
• Sucuri Scanner (Built in iThemes Security now)
• VirusTotal
If you feel your site could be infected, first do a malware scan.
There are also plugins that can scan your site manually.
25. When you decide to make
changes to your site there
are some things to consider.
26. Do your due diligence when looking at
new themes and plugins. Do not pick
one just because it is shiny and pretty.
27. Do not add every theme you think is pretty
when you decide to change a theme.
Only keep the theme you are using and
one backup theme on your site.
The more themes that are on a site, the more open
chances you have to a vulnerability
29. SEO…
SEO Plugins can aid in your ranking on search engines
• Yoast SEO
• All in One SEO
30. Don't ever let your site
get too lonely.
No one knows your website better than you do. Check
on the front end just as much as your backend.
31. If you have questions take
to the web
There are many resources you have at your fingertips that can help
you do more with your website.
• codex.WordPress.org
• WordPress forums for themes, plugins, and core
• Twitter
• Facebook
• Third Party websites
32. There is more than just
WordPress specific
maintenance you should
do.
