Bio

CinderEye LLC builds PowerSEC, a WordPress security plugin with a firewall, malware and file-integrity scanning, login protection and local backups. The plugin runs on your own site; an optional cloud dashboard adds multi-site monitoring, off-site backups and alerts.

Interests

security, backups, WordPress hardenin

WordPress Origin Story

We started PowerSEC after cleaning up too many hacked WordPress sites by hand and wanting protection that works on every site, not only paid ones.
