 * Securing your WordPress site is going to require several things.
    - Secure your home/office network
    - Secure your webserver
    - Secure your website
 * You will need to take care of all aspects. The link that [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/)
   gave you is a must read and just make sure to use strong user credentials for
   everything, two-factor authentication if possible and security plugins can definitely
   help.
 * There are a few plugins that will take care of the basic security measures. iThemes
   Security is a good one, so is WordFence and Sucuri is considered a solid choice
   as well. Just make sure you configure them properly.
