    Hi, could you please advise me if running Jetpack will affect other security plugins such as Sucuri or Wordfence? I was running Wordfence free version but it was driving me mad with many emails informing me of attacks and failed login attempts from all over the world. I was told that Jetpack will protect from brute force attacks automatically. I have yet to understand if this is truly the case. I deactivated Wordfence Free and enabled Jetpack site stats and protection. Now I am worried if I have enough protection.
    I am really wanting to decide on the best security solution for my clients website. Should i disable Jetpack and perhaps try Sucuri? Any ideas appreciated, thanks

    You should be able to use these plugins alongside Jetpack, as long as you do not set them to completely block access to your site’s XML-RPC file. Jetpack uses that file to communicate with WordPress.com.

    That’s correct. You can read more about it here:
