Incredibly useful and comprehensive
I was looking for an alternative to Wordfence Free that was not so heavy on the website. This is it! It is packed with features that actually move the needly. Definitely recommended! Looking forward to the development and future updates. Also, it comes from a well known and highly reputable security agency, which gave me more trust.

So many useful features.
Used it to solve a security issue in minutes. Still testing but very impressed.

Lightweight, powerful, and 100% free and it's the most complete suite out there
After a highly frustrating experience with WP Security Ninja—plagued by endless false positives (Fluent Forms and All in one migration flagged as malware?!) Atlant Security is a breath of fresh air.It's the most complete security plugin out there and it doesn't hide features behind a paywall. Lightweight Pre-WordPress WAF (unlike Wordfence) completely free; Real-time threat protection (without the 30-day delay of Wordfence Free), built-in AI scraper blocking, 2FA, and core hardening.Solid, efficient protection. Highly recommended!I'm installing it on all my websites

Very promising so far
I am using plugins from the major players (have been for years) which are limited in features for today’s attackers so this is a very promising plugin. Also refreshing to see no promotions of products and services.
