In the brick and mortar world, most businesses take security very seriously. I know that my local gym has CCTV cameras, an alarm system, fire, and theft insurance and employs a security company to check the premises at night. But back in the digital world, we tend to overlook our website’s security.

I understand that WordPress security is a bit of a sensitive topic. The stakes are high, information on the issue is sparse and pretty generic, and it’s also a highly technical – which scares off just about everybody except hardcore developers!

But, don’t worry! In this tutorial, I will show you how you can enhance your website’s security by installing and configuring the WordFence Security and Firewall plugin. The whole ordeal shouldn’t take you longer than 15 minutes. Trust me! It’s time well spent.
