The security protection measures offered by WordPress are not enough. With the WordPress in Paranoid Mode (WPM) by Latch tool, the site owner can monitor the actions occurring on critical WordPress tables, allowing him to enable or disable actions via a second authorisation factor.
How WordPress in Paranoid Mode of Latch works
What is Latch for WordPress?
Latch is a TU digital cybersecurity solution developed by Telefónica Innovación Digital. In WordPress, it works through the installation of a plugin paired with the free mobile app, from which you can have full control of access in real time.
With Latch you can add an additional layer of protection to your corporate website, blog or ecommerce and control not only the login to your administration panel, but also specific actions on critical WordPress tables.
Fortify your WordPress environment by applying the Defence in Depth principle
Add the Latch plugin for WordPress in order to have users with a 2nd Factor Authentication in the login process.
Add Latch at the operating system level to fortify the Linux server. The Latch plugin for UNIX allows us to configure Latch on the SSH connection to the server where the WordPress CMS is located.
Configure triggers on the insert, update and delete SQL operations that occur on the tables used by WordPress in MySQL.
Protect user identity, administration access and the integrity of your data with paranoid mode.
Strengthening your WordPress database
With WordPress in Paranoid Mode, you can enable or disable specific actions on critical WordPress tables. You can choose between three execution modes depending on the level of protection you want to apply:
• Read-only mode. Blocks all write operations related to WordPress users and content, ensuring that no changes can be made to the data.
• Administration. Controls the unauthorised creation, deletion or update of user accounts.
• Editing. Maintain full control over what is published on your site, ensuring that only authorised people can create, modify or delete content.
