GUARDIAN GAZA BY REDSECLABS
Guardian Gaze is a research-driven WordPress security plugin designed to help website owners, developers, and agencies protect their sites from malware infections, brute-force attacks, unauthorized changes, and emerging WordPress vulnerabilities.
Built by RedSecLabs, a cybersecurity firm specializing in threat research, detection engineering, and defensive tooling, Guardian Gaze focuses on continuous monitoring, accurate detection, and clear visibility into your site’s security posture.
The plugin includes real-time security monitoring across malware detection, login security, IP management, WordPress hardening, and activity awareness. Detection logic is supported by ongoing threat intelligence updates, ensuring protection adapts to new and evolving attack techniques.
Guardian Gaze is designed to provide reliable, practical WordPress security without aggressive lockouts, excessive alerts, or heavy resource usage.
Key Features
WordPress Malware Detection & File Monitoring
Guardian Gaze includes a built-in malware scanner that analyzes WordPress core files, plugins, and themes for suspicious or unauthorized changes.
Detects modified or infected files
Identifies malware injections, backdoors, and malicious code
Highlights changes in core or plugin integrity
Designed for continuous monitoring, not one-time scans
Helps users understand findings before taking action
Login Security & Brute Force Protection
Reduce WordPress login abuse and authentication attacks.
Limit repeated failed login attempts
Reduce brute-force and credential-stuffing attempts
Identify unusual login behavior or suspicious activity
These controls protect common entry points (wp-login.php, XML-RPC) without blocking legitimate users.
IP Management & Traffic Filtering
Manage and reduce unwanted or abusive traffic.
Block or allow IPs manually
Automatically flag suspicious IP behavior
Reduce noise caused by bots, scanners, and automated attacks
Ideal for sites experiencing repeated probing or targeted attacks.
WordPress Security Hardening
Improve your website’s default security posture with guided hardening options.
Strengthen WordPress configuration
Reduce exposure to known weak points
Follow recommended WordPress security practices
Each hardening option is clearly explained before changes are applied.

FAQ
-
Does Guardian Gaze require a license key?
-
A license key is required to activate threat-intelligence updates, email reports, and IP reputation services. The plugin will still function in a limited mode without a license, but real-time detection updates will not be available.
-
How often are malware patterns updated?
-
Malware patterns and detection logic are updated daily through the Guardian Gaze Security Intelligence API. Updates evolve continuously as new WordPress-specific threats, malware variants, and attack techniques emerge.
-
Will this plugin slow down my website?
-
No. Guardian Gaze is designed to be lightweight and non-disruptive.
Scans leverage optimized detection logic and do not rely on heavy signature databases. All external requests are cached where possible, and no resource-intensive actions run on every page load. -
Does Guardian Gaze automatically delete malware?
-
No. Guardian Gaze focuses on safe and reliable detection instead of automated file removal. This reduces the risk of false positives breaking your site. The plugin provides clear indicators so you can decide the appropriate remediation steps.
-
Does this plugin collect personal or sensitive data?
-
No. Guardian Gaze uses a privacy-first design and only collects minimal technical metadata required for security functions.
Passwords, personal information, and website content are never transmitted to external services. -
What external services does Guardian Gaze use?
-
Guardian Gaze connects to:
Guardian Gaze API for malware patterns, licensing, and optional reporting
WordPress.org API for core integrity checks
IP-API.com / IPAPI.co for IP geolocation (dashboard and country-based rules)
These services are used only for functionality that requires external threat intelligence or data validation. -
Does Guardian Gaze use AI or machine learning?
-
Yes. Guardian Gaze incorporates AI-assisted detection models and machine-learning–driven pattern analysis developed by RedSecLabs.
These systems help identify suspicious code, behavioral anomalies, and emerging attack techniques that may not match traditional signatures.
