  • Start with these (no affiliations):

    Secure WordPress - Good over all security plug-in

    WordPress File Monitor - Will notify you by email if there are changes in your files

    WordPress Database Backup - good insurance in case of a problem. Just make sure it is set to email you the back-ups.

    There are many more that you can search for over at wordpress.org >> extend>> plug-ins

    Then there is also change passwords and update everything that has newer versions.

  • I've written a few articles on WordPress security - nothing too technical, more focused on common sense steps.

  • One basic thing to remember with wordpress sites is to upgrade to the latest stable wordpress version. Do the same with your plugins.
    And backup your wordpress site regularly.
