WP Engine gives you high-performance managed WordPress hosting. Sucuri makes sure it stays secure.
WP Engine delivers blazing speed, reliable uptime, and scalable infrastructure specifically tailored for WordPress. With automated updates, advanced caching, and built-in staging environments, it’s truly a developer’s dream.
But even the best hosting can’t fully stop malware, blacklists, or plugin vulnerabilities from affecting your live website.
That’s where Sucuri steps in.
Sucuri works alongside WP Engine to protect your site at the application level — actively blocking attacks, expertly removing infections, and giving you real-time visibility into your website’s overall health.
WP Engine diligently secures the hosting environment — handling PHP updates, server-side caching, SSL, and performance optimization. However, your live website is still directly exposed to:
These are website-level concerns, distinct from infrastructure security.
It’s not a matter of overlap — it’s a matter of completeness for your security posture.
Website Firewall (WAF): Our powerful WAF sits between your visitors and your WP Engine-hosted site, blocking attacks before they can cause damage — including advanced DDoS, brute-force, and malicious injection attempts.
Malware Scanning & Guaranteed Cleanup: We meticulously detect and remove malware, injected code, SEO spam, and hidden redirects — with guaranteed cleanup included, restoring your site’s integrity swiftly.
Blacklist Monitoring & Removal: If your site is flagged by Google or major antivirus providers, we clean the infection and expertly handle the delisting process — getting your site off blacklists fast and restoring its reputation.
Performance-Boosting CDN: Enhance WP Engine’s already fast hosting with our global CDN — delivering faster, more secure experiences for global audiences by serving content from the closest geographical location.
Continuous Monitoring & Real-Time Alerts: Stay fully informed with live alerts, detailed threat data, and analytics about your website’s security posture — all accessible from a single, intuitive dashboard.
WP Engine gives your WordPress site a solid, scalable foundation. Sucuri makes that foundation truly secure — even when vulnerabilities live within plugins, themes, or critical third-party integrations.
Sucuri is CMS-agnostic but WordPress-optimized — making it a perfect security fit for WP Engine customers
