What is Arb Security?
Arb Security protects any WordPress site with a behaviour-based, owner-safe security stack: a Web Application Firewall that blocks SQL-injection, XSS and exploit attempts, a Bot Shield that stops bots, floods and brute-force logins, a malware and file-integrity scanner, two-factor login, one-click hardening and security headers, plus real-time visitor intelligence and an optional AI security advisor. Real visitors are never blocked and your admin IP is auto-allow-listed.
