    Hi Guys, we installed the Sucuri plugin on our site and do have some open questions about the plugin: 1. How can we benefit from your firewall capability? We’re hosted wpengine.com anyway takes care of ports can it give us any extra protection?
    2. Is there any other features you think will benefit us?
    3. About the alerts/scan we set up – I’m not sure I understand this – will it alert once a day only when it scans? So if someone brute force guess passwords and fails (as you set it up) more than 30 times, we’ll get the alert only at the time of the scan, or in “real time” when it actually happens? If that’s the case, won’t that be too late? Stampli.com was recently hacked and we saw the brute force happen shortly before the hack… We would have missed that… No?
    4. Does the scan checks and warns for known vulnerabilities on the other plug-ins?
    Does it itself pose any risks as a plug in? (can it have vulnerabilities or did it ever have any know vulnerabilities)?

    Sorry for the long questions and thank you very much for the answers
