Shield Security has a ton of great options to improve the security of WordPress, and a lot of these can be found in other security plugins too. However, their point system is fairly unique from what I’ve seen. You get to control whether an action is ignored, logged, counts as a point, two points, or immediate block. Those options aren’t available for everything, but it’s an interesting way to let you customize how tight the security is.

Sometimes I still find it difficult to navigate all the settings modules. Many times I’ve had a specific settings in mind and I don’t know which module to click on, so I have to hunt around in different modules and tabs within those modules. But on the plus side, those settings and features are there… just need to find them. Worth it.
