Cerber Tech, the security as a service company developing advanced security solutions for WordPress, announces a major release of WP Cerber Security. This release brings a set of new features and multiple improvements to the security algorithms in the core of WP Cerber and Cerber Techâs threat intelligence platform.
The new version of WP Cerber brings a complete toolset to effectively manage application passwords, restrict access to website APIs and monitor the usage of REST API. Although using application passwords brings an additional security barrier, the default WordPress implementation of application passwords is absolutely minimalistic. With new tools, website administrations can configure more secure processing of user passwords. In particular, they can restrict REST API usage by authorization with application passwords only, meaning the default, interactive user passwords cannot be used to access REST API, so it can not be an attack vector.
For advanced use of application passwords, WP Cerber offers logging API requests and authorization events. Combining it with flexible email and mobile notifications, website admins now get full control over WordPress APIs available on their websites.
Another new feature improves anti-spam performance. The new version of WP Cerber also brings significant improvements to the user login process. Handling user authentication and authorization by WP Cerberâs access control mechanism has been significantly improved and optimized. Itâs crucial for a configuration when a website is configured for using external user authentication via third-part connectors and WordPress plugins.
