<p>Like any other software WordPress does have bugs and security vulnerabilities. They get fixed when the developers become aware of them.<br />
However, sometimes several WordPress releases are vulnerable. The problem is that the developers do not backport security updates to older WordPress releases.<br />
As a result, those who do not want to upgrade their WordPress installations (for example, because newer WP releases tend to consume more system resources and<br />
upgrade may result in having to use more expensive hosting) remain vulnerable.</p>
<p>ICS Security Fixes is the plugin for those who do not upgrade their WordPress: the plugin tries to fix known WordPress vulnerabilities<br />
at that remaining compatible with as many old WordPress releases as possible.<br />
And though it cannot fix all known vulnerabilities, it makes older WordPress installations more secure.</p>
<h3>Warning</h3>
<p>This plugins requires that PHP 5 be installed. PHP 4 is not supported.</p>


ICS Security Fixes

The plugin tries to fix known WordPress vulnerabilities for older WordPress versions. Warning: For PHP 5 only.

<h4>PARETO SECURITY FEATURES</h4>
<p>Had enough of the security theatre presented by the raft of WordPress security plugins? Time to put a stop to the attacks!</p>
<p>Firstly WordPress and most other CMS\’s are built using PHP. PHP is a very insecure programming language, even worse in the hands of amateurs.</p>
<p>WordPress has been plagued by plugins authored by amateurs that bring with them security vulnerabilities.</p>
<p>Security plugin designers mostly focus on cleaning up attacks rather than stopping them dead in their tracks.</p>
<p>Pareto Security class acts as a Central Security Hub checking all inputs from users, preventing bad requests from executing on your website.</p>

<h4>A Word on Security:</h4>
<p>By the very nature of plugins, no plugin should ever claim to be a Web Application Firewall.</p>
<p>No security plugin can save your website from really-really badly written site, theme and/or plugin code.</p>
<p>No security plugin can save your site from attacks that result from when administrators do not follow basic security practices.</p>
<p>Keeping any CMS as secure as possible is not easy. The very best thing you can do to prevent attacks is to always keep your website code, themes and plugins up to date, and remove any plugins and themes you are not using.</p>
