Protect the WordPress site
behind your domain.
Argus Defence is a security plugin built to protect your WordPress installation and the website it powers — combining an on-site firewall and scanner with security intelligence from ANIS, the Argus Network Intelligence Server. €59 per protected WordPress site, per year.
WordPress is one of the most widely used website technologies in the world.
That scale is exactly why protecting it properly matters. WordPress sites are business sites, online stores, institutional portals, agency client sites and lead-generation systems — a security incident on any of them isn't just a technical issue, it can affect availability, reputation, data, traffic, sales and customer trust.
not insecurity

Your website doesn't fight alone.
Every Argus Defence installation is connected to ANIS, the Argus Network Intelligence Server. When an attack is observed anywhere in the network, anonymized indicators flow to ANIS, are correlated into security knowledge, and strengthen protection everywhere.
Every attack makes the network smarter.
When Argus Defence detects malicious activity, anonymized security signals contribute to ANIS — new malicious IPs, attack patterns, URLs, hashes and exploit indicators are correlated into updated knowledge and used to harden protection across the Argus platform.
Privacy-first telemetry. No customer content is collected. Signals are limited to threat indicators — IPs, patterns, hashes and URLs.

Everything you need.
Nothing artificially locked.
Every feature ships with every installation. There is no “Pro” tier hiding the things that actually matter.

for your WordPress site.
This is not a settings page with checkboxes. Argus Defence is a real security console — live telemetry, firewall control, scanning and intelligence in one place.

Powered by intelligence,
not just signatures.
Argus Defence is connected to ANIS, the Argus platform's central security-knowledge hub. ANIS correlates what the network observes and turns it into protection you can feel.

Argus Defence immediately starts protecting your website — firewall, login defense, rate limiting and scanning go live on activation.
Get Smarter
Argus Defence connects to ANIS, and continuously receives updated security knowledge and protection rules.
Managing 5, 20 or 50 sites shouldn't mean 5, 20 or 50 isolated security tools.
An agency or in-house team managing multiple client websites doesn't have to treat each WordPress installation as a completely separate security system. Argus Defence centralizes the management of every protected installation connected to your account, so you work from one place instead of switching between separate dashboards per site.
- Centralized management across every connected WordPress site
- Consolidated visibility into protection status, site by site
- Portfolio-level findings — a single, prioritized view of what needs attention across all your sites
- Account-wide allow/block lists you define once and apply across every connected site
- Less operational complexity — one account, one place to track protection across clients
| Site | Plan | Status | Open findings |
|---|---|---|---|
| agency-site.test | Premium | PROTECTED | 0 |
| demo-store.test | Premium | PROTECTED | 1 |
| example-business.test | Free | NEEDS ATTENTION | 3 |
| protected-site.test | Premium | PROTECTED | 0 |
