Securing High-Traffic Corporate Websites

Working with banking and corporate clients (like Allied Bank and FMFB) taught me that security is non-negotiable. A hacked site destroys reputation instantly.

Hardening the Login

The default '/wp-admin' is the first place bots look. I implement 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) and limit login attempts. For enterprise clients, we restrict admin access to specific IP addresses.

Database Security

I change the default database prefix and disable file editing within the dashboard. Regular automated backups are stored on an external server, ensuring that even in a worst-case scenario, recovery is minutes away.

Regular Audits

I schedule monthly security audits to scan for vulnerable plugins and outdated core files. Keeping software up to date is 90% of the battle.
