WordPress Security refers to the practices and tools used to protect WordPress websites from hacking, malware, and vulnerabilities, including keeping core software, themes, and plugins updated, using strong authentication, firewalls, and malware scanning plugins. Site administrators and developers rely on these measures because WordPress's popularity makes it a frequent target for automated attacks.
