WordPress plugin & API Key

Using the Sucuri WordPress plugin does not require you to purchase a service subscription, nor is plugin required to utilize your Services. It is free to all WordPress users.

Sucuri WordPress plugin offers a set of security features for your website:

  1. Security Activity Auditing
  2. File Integrity Monitoring
  3. Remote Malware Scanning
  4. Blacklist Monitoring
  5. Effective Security Hardening
  6. Post-Hack Security Actions
  7. Security Notifications

The API key is required for preventing attackers from deleting audit logs that can help you investigate and recover after a hack, and allows the plugin to display statistics. The keys are free if you elect to use them. By generating an API key, Sucuri will collect and store anonymous data about your website. The key is used to authenticate the HTTP requests sent by the plugin to an API service managed by Sucuri. Sucuri will store the email address you provide as well as a copy of the audit logs generated by the server. You may retrieve the audit logs using the same email address at any time.

Depending on the Service you have purchased, Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service during the term for which you have purchased a package (the "Service Term") to use the Service for the websites included in such package (the "Covered Websites"). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Website" shall mean a collection of files and documents used to display content via the Internet to those who access its Uniform Resource Locator ("URL").
