Installation

Secure your website using the following steps to install Wordfence:

Install Wordfence automatically or by uploading the ZIP file.
Activate the Wordfence through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. Wordfence is now activated.
Go to the scan menu and start your first scan. Scheduled scanning will also be enabled.
Une fois la première analyse terminée, une liste de menaces s’affiche. Passez-les en revue une par une pour sécuriser votre site.
Rendez-vous sur la page des options de Wordfence pour saisir votre adresse électronique afin de pouvoir recevoir des alertes de sécurité par mail.
Si vous le souhaite, modifiez votre niveau de sécurité ou réglez les options avancées pour ajuster le niveau du scan et les options de protection de votre site.
Cliquez sur l’option de menu « Trafic en direct » pour observer l’activité de votre site en temps réel. La connaissance de la situation est un élément important de la sécurité des sites Web.

To install Wordfence on WordPress Multi-Site installations:

Install Wordfence via the plugin directory or by uploading the ZIP file.
Activez Wordfence en réseau. Cette étape est importante car tant que vous ne l’aurez pas activé en réseau, vos sites verront l’option du plugin dans leur menu de plugins. Une fois activée, cette option disparaît.
Maintenant que Wordfence est activé en réseau, il apparaîtra dans votre menu d’administration du réseau. Wordfence n’apparaîtra pas dans le menu d’un site individuel.
Go to the « Scan » menu and start your first scan.
Wordfence analysera tous les fichiers de votre installation WordPress, y compris ceux du répertoire blogs.dir de vos sites individuels.
Le trafic en temps réel apparaîtra pour TOUS les sites de votre réseau. Si votre système est très chargé, ils se peut que vous souhaitiez désactiver le trafic en direct, ce qui interrompra les connexions à la base de données.
Les règles de pare-feu et de connexion s’appliquent à l’ensemble du système. Ainsi, si vous échouez à vous connecter sur site1.exemple.com et site2.exemple.com, cela compte comme 2 échecs. Le trafic des crawlers est comptabilisé entre les blogs, donc si vous touchez trois sites du réseau, toutes les visites sont totalisées et cela compte comme le taux d’accès au système.

Ai-je besoin d’un plugin de sécurité comme Wordfence si j’utilise un pare-feu basé sur le cloud (WAF) ?

Wordfence provides true endpoint security for your WordPress website. Unlike cloud based firewalls, Wordfence executes within the WordPress environment, giving it knowledge like whether the user is signed in, their identity and what access level they have. Wordfence uses the user’s access level in more than 80% of the firewall rules it uses to protect WordPress websites. Learn more about the Cloud WAF identity problem here. Additionally, cloud based firewalls can be bypassed, leaving your site exposed to attackers. Because Wordfence is an integral part of the endpoint (your WordPress website), it can’t be bypassed.

Wordfence takes this approach.
