Security plugins split into schools worth understanding before choosing. The scanner-and-firewall school — Wordfence Premium, MalCare, Sucuri Security, Defender — detects and blocks active threats. The hardening school — Solid Security (the plugin formerly known as iThemes), All In One WP Security Pro — locks down configuration. The specialists go deep: Cerber Security Pro on access control. And GDPR consent is its own job — Complianz GDPR, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Borlabs Cookie, GDPR Cookie Compliance. One strong firewall plus one consent tool covers most sites; our reviews show which pairs conflict.
