Advantages:

  • Both plugins have complementary features that will boost your website security.
  • Both plugins load fast and work with SEO and Cache plugins.

  • Hide My WP Ghost works as security through obscurity and prevents access to vulnerable files, plugins and themes.
  • iThemes works like a firewall to block bad bots, add login security , monitor site security and more.

HWMP Ghost will complement iThemes Security Plugin by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t offer:

  • With Hide My WP Ghost you prevent attacks from happening, by hiding vulnerabilities in themes, WP core and plugins.
  • Hackers and hacker bots can’t attack what they can’t find.
  • It does a bit more, as you will see on the Features list.
  • This offers an extra layer of protection that you don’t get from other plugins, because those focus on helping you while you are attacked and after you were attacked, by cleaning files, detecting malware, injections etc.
  • With Hide My WP Ghost you can avoid getting injections in the first place.

Even if both plugins are considered WordPress Security plugins, iThemes Security and Hide My WP Ghost work together to add TWO DIFFERENT KINDS of security layers on your websites by stopping the hackers’ attacks and preventing data loss.
