One important difference is how BitFire handles automated traffic: Bot blocking – WordPress cannot reliably distinguish human traffic from automated traffic on its own. BitFire is designed to identify and block malicious bots before they can exploit or infect your site. If you use Wordfence, we strongly recommend using the paid version. Read the detailed BitFire vs Wordfence comparison Why Do Other Plugins Focus So Much on Cleaning Up Malware? Good question. Have you noticed how much other security plugins charge for malware removal and how much of their marketing focuses on finding infections? BitFire focuses on keeping malware off your site so you do not need to pay someone to remove it. Privacy / Monitoring / Data Collection We take your privacy seriously. Here is exactly what BitFire does with your data: Traffic inspection. BitFire inspects web traffic to your site to identify threats. Sensitive data, such as passwords and credit card numbers, is automatically replaced with redacted in logs. You can add additional fields to filter in the settings. Error reporting. If BitFire encounters a software error, it can send a report to our development team so we can fix it in a future release. No visitor data is included in these reports. Malware hash checking. BitFire sends small numeric fingerprints, known as 64-bit hashes, of your files to our hash server to compare them against our database of known-good files. For example, a file might hash to the number 812612388126487. We never receive your actual file contents, and file hashes are not stored on our servers. Local data storage. All log data and configuration files are stored locally on your server in a hidden, randomly named directory under wp-content/uploads/. This directory is protected by an .htaccess file and is not accessible from the web.
