What everyone has said is pretty much spot on.
I've noticed a trend with known vulnerabilities in popular WordPress plugins being exploited (Yoast SEO, Gravity Forms, etc...)
There's nothing that can be done to make a dynamic website 100% secure. That's just the nature of the web.
I make regular backups, stored securely in an off-site cloud, that can be restored from in the event of any malicious activity. To me that's even more important than keeping the website software up to date. If you don't have backups, you're screwed.
As mentioned above, I've also started implementing an annual "WordPress maintenance package" for all of my clients, which covers my time to apply all necessary core and plugin updates, and test the site to confirm functionality afterward. The price of that package varies based on the size, scale, and complexity of the site.
IMO, WordPress is inherently secure... if it's kept up to date. But it's huge market share does make it an attractive target.
- Do you have a starting package price? Just to get an idea how you work it out. Cheersnumero1
