Paul G.
Paul Goodchild is the founder and CEO of Shield Security for WordPress – a best-in-class security plugin for the protection of critical WordPress-based websites and businesses.
Paul focuses on security features that deliver realworld results for client through the prevention of security breaches before they can happen. Prevention is preferrable over busy-security-work that sees you putting out fires and cleaning up your sites after an infection has taken hold.
Paul maintains that while a security plugin for WordPress is absolutely crucial, “security” is a practice and must involve your entire website and WordPress hosting environment, including your own local device security and security hygiene.
