Securing Setup helps protect your WordPress installation by: 
1. Allowing users to set recommended file permissions for directories and subdirectories. 
2. Automatically modifying the <code>.htaccess</code> file to: 
 – Protect the <code>debug.log</code> file from being accessed via the web. 
 – Restrict execution of specific file types (e.g., <code>.png</code>, <code>.jpg</code>), ensuring only selected file types are processed by the web server. 
3. Disabling sensitive WordPress endpoints such as: 
 – <code>system.multicall</code> from XML-RPC. 
 – The <code>users</code> endpoint in the REST API.
The plugin is user-friendly and includes an easy-to-access settings page.
