A very important issue in the matter of WordPress security is the habit of creating backups. Many reputable hosting companies offer such backups as standard at the server level.
I also recommend creating a backup yourself, and not just leaving it to the server side. Then we can be sure that we have a backup that can save our site.
In most cases, the backup contains not only the content available on the website, but also all media (such as graphics, photos, documents or videos), plug-ins and a copy of the database.
Thanks to such a copy, we can quickly restore the ios database WordPress site in the event of an attack or errors in the database.
The Role of the Hosting Provider
Hosting is also important and affects WordPress security.
The biggest problem occurs in the case of shared hosting. In such a case, several or several dozen websites are located on one and the same server, or even account. This means that infecting one website can have a negative impact on all other websites present on the server.
It is worth checking whether the hosting we use allows us to separate directories of different domains from each other.
Always use the latest version of WordPress, plugins and themes
To sum up the considerations about WordPress security, we must be aware that both WordPress itself and themes and plugins require updates. To a large extent, it depends on how secure our WordPress sites are.
A site with the correct basic configuration, updated regularly, with a professional theme and using a minimum number of plugins will be much more secure than a site that is several years old, not updated and, to put it colloquially, cluttered.
Professional care for your WordPress site

Summary
The extent to which we consider WordPress to be a secure or unsafe system depends largely on the actions we take to protect it. The well-known maxim "you get what you pay for" also applies here - to WordPress security.
