<p>Effective website security requires a combination of tools and best practices to operate WordPress safely on today’s internet. MadTek’s Entrusans IDS security plugin adds tamper-resistance to your security tool set.</p>
<p>Sophisticated hackers scan WordPress websites 24X7 looking for vulnerabilities and they know how to delete or disable security plugins to avoid detection. Whether a breach is due to a Zero-Day attack or a known vulnerability, once hackers gain access to your website, they own it.</p>
<p>Tamper-resistance is essential to expose hackers who disable your website’s security plugins. Until you remove all malicious code and remediate all malicious file deletions or changes your website remains compromised.</p>
<p>MadTek developed the Entrusans IDS plugin to help WordPress website owners restore their websites quickly after a breach. Remediating a hacked website can be a complex and costly forensic job. The Entrusans system gives you the tamper-resistant file change history you need to quickly identify deleted, added and changed files. MadTek encrypts and stores your file-change data on remote servers denying hackers the ability to go undetected.</p>
<p>If you have a mission-critical website e.g. eCommerce, you need to know ASAP if a hacker penetrates your website.</p>
