It's super important to keep your WordPress software, themes and plug-ins up-to-date. No amount of server security software can prevent your websites from being hacked if the later isn't being kept up-to-date.

Please also be sure you're using a current version of PHP. You can easily change the PHP version you're using the MultiPHP feature in cPanel. It's also a good idea to change your WordPress security 'Salts' and passwords regularly. Be sure there are no unneeded admin users on your WordPress accounts. We also recommend installing security plug-ins such as WP Security.

Reminder: DeafVision is your web host, not your webmaster. We don't update your WordPress software for you or handle your website if it gets hacked. This is something your webmaster needs handle for you.
