Pattronize recommends its clients to choose a WordPress plug-in or theme from reputable companies and they’re much more likely to be kept up to date and monitored for security issues. Check when the plug-in or theme was last updated. Anything that has not updated for more than few months leads you to risk.
Hackers can easily crack random passwords, so one needs to use a better mechanism like using a password manager.
Themes and plug-in is the backbone to security as the WordPress. Update everything – not just
WordPress alone. Hackers will target age-old versions of WordPress with predictable security issues, so keep an eye on your Dashboard and don’t ignore those ‘update’ messages.

Check the type of server disk
Server disks are the most valuable part of the server because they have your data. If you use shared hosting or a WP hosting service, ask the service provider about the type of disk system they use. If they are not using a redundant RAID or SAN, then start looking for a new host.
Check for any user accounts created by your developers because people often use passwords with poor strength, if these are not changed they can be an easy backdoor entry into your WP installation.
Always leave auto updates on.
If you are using a plug-in that gets broken due to security release then it raises a serious question like how plug-in is reacting to WordPress.
