Security Ninja
Security Ninja is a WordPress security plugin for site owners, freelancers, and agencies.
What Security Ninja is
Security Ninja is a WordPress security plugin for site owners, freelancers, and agencies. It helps block unwanted traffic, strengthen logins, scan for malware and vulnerabilities, and send security alerts. The free plan includes basic firewall rules, more than 50 security tests with fix guidance, vulnerability and WordPress core scanners, and a basic event logger. Pro adds a cloud firewall with country blocking and custom IP rules, malware scanning, failed-login limits, a custom login URL, and two-factor authentication. It can send selected security events to Slack, Discord, Zapier, or a custom HTTPS endpoint, and offers WooCommerce protections against coupon guessing, checkout spam, and repeated store login attempts. Licenses covering at least 25 sites include white-label branding; MainWP workflows are supported. Free is available at no cost. The 14-day Pro trial requires a card or PayPal and must be canceled before it ends to avoid payment. Pro is a plugin license and toolkit, not a managed malware-cleanup service or cleanup SLA.
