WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS. As of February 2025, 506+ million websites use WordPress. But with great popularity comes great risks and threats, especially when it comes to security.

Because WordPress is so widely used, it naturally attracts hackers who look for security gaps to break in, steal data, and cause disruptions. According to statistics, 4.7 million WordPress websites get hacked every year.

If you own a website, you need to know how to protect it from data breaches, malware, and cybercriminals.
