Automatic, intelligent WordPress security. A local firewall, malware and file-integrity scanning,
vulnerability protection, and scheduled backups -- protecting your site with zero manual
configuration required.

== Description ==

ARGUS Defence protects your WordPress website automatically:

* **Firewall** -- blocks malicious requests (SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more) before
  they reach your site.
* **Scanner** -- regularly checks WordPress core, plugins, and themes for suspicious files and
  integrity changes.
* **Vulnerability Protection** -- automatically checks your installed components against known
  security issues.
* **Backups** -- scheduled recovery points for your website, stored securely.
* **Global Threat Intelligence** -- continuously updated, automatically connected, no setup
  required.

Everything works out of the box. There is nothing to configure to get protected.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress site (or install directly from the WordPress admin).
2. Activate the plugin.
3. That's it -- ARGUS Defence begins protecting your site automatically.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need to configure anything? =

No. ARGUS Defence is designed to work automatically. Advanced settings are available for
administrators who want them, but nothing is required to get protected.

= Will this slow down my website? =

No. ARGUS Defence's firewall and scanning run efficiently in the background, and the optional
page-cache feature can make your site faster, not slower.

= How do I update the plugin? =

Like any other WordPress.org plugin: you'll see an update notification right in your WordPress
dashboard whenever a new version is available, and you can update it in one click from there.

== Changelog ==

= 7.23.3 =
* Premium trial: no signup or login is required to use ARGUS or start the 30-day trial anymore --
  it starts automatically, tracked by your site's domain, the moment the plugin is active.
  Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin no longer resets it. Local protection (firewall,
  scanner, quarantine, hardening) keeps working in full after the trial ends, whether or not you
  upgrade.

= 7.23.2 =
* Settings: added a License section -- a 30-day trial with everything active, then enter a
  license key to keep Premium features. Protection never stops regardless of license status.
* Intelligence page: rewrote descriptions in plain language focused on what's protecting your
  site, not internal implementation details.

= 7.23.1 =
* Automatic updates: fixed a bug where a normal (non-critical) update would be detected and
  shown as available, but never actually installed -- now any newer, compatible, verified
  update installs automatically, the same way updates to other plugins already do.

= 7.23.0 =
* Firewall: broadened local rule coverage (XXE, SSRF, session fixation, Log4Shell/JNDI, scanner-tool
  detection, and deeper SQL injection / XSS / PHP injection signatures).
* Scanner: fixed a case where a quarantined file's severity label and its content-analysis score
  could disagree; both are now always shown together and derived consistently.
* Console: the running plugin version is now shown in the admin header.
* First production release: firewall, scanner, quarantine, vulnerability protection, backups,
  cache & performance, and automatic global threat intelligence.
