Hello. I just recently launched an online garden furniture store based on the SoftSun theme (http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes.php) and am doing some research trying to develop a good security strategy for my website. I am not as tech-savvy as I though I was to know how to edit the theme's files or handle WordPress coding properly. Does anyone have experience with additional easy-to-use security plugins or services? I'm hoping that I might be able to get a little advice from some WordPress experts on the matter.
