WordPress Security Detection & Response
WPAuditor is a SOC-grade WordPress security plugin for real-time attack monitoring and active defense. Detect threats, investigate fast and stay secure.
Track logins, plugin/theme changes, file edits, and suspicious HTTP with rich context (IP, method, URI, UA, severity, category) and MITRE/OWASP mapping.
Interactive charts, summaries, and a session correlator that groups by IP, User-Agent, and user—plus real-time auto-refresh.
Automatically detects abusive behavior (login sprays, scan storms, web attacks) and rate-limits or blocks IPs in real time.
Central view of critical alerts with severity filters and routing to email/SIEM so real incidents never get buried in noise.
Real-time inspection catches XSS, RCE, LFI, and SQLi patterns with severity-tagged, forensics-ready logs.
Find suspicious/sensitive/obfuscated PHP, verify core checksums against WordPress.org, and flag risky file permissions.
One-click quarantine, restore, or delete suspicious files directly from WP Admin. No FTP or file manager required.
IP blocklist (Cloudflare-friendly), disable XML-RPC/REST to reduce surface area, and check file permissions.
Safely simulate brute force, SQLi, XSS, and file uploads to validate detections and train your team.
Create verified full-site backups (files + database) and restore a single file, a plugin/theme, or the entire site from WP Admin.
Export CSV/JSON for audits, schedule auto-cleanup (e.g., <15 days), and filter/paginate for large sites.
Super lightweight and host-friendly. No extra database tables, no heavy UI frameworks, just fast monitoring and response that won’t slow your site.
Matches WordPress admin patterns so teams learn it instantly—tables, filters, badges, and actions follow core UI conventions.
SOC-style features built into WPAuditor that are typically missing as dedicated modules in other plugins.
