For CMS like WordPress and Drupal there are some <strong>good security modules</strong> like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/">Solid Security</a> (formerly iThemesSecurity), <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/security_review">Security Review</a>, and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/login_security">Login Security</a>. These modules improve the security of a website by limiting the number of failed login attempts and blocking the suspicious IP address.</p>
