    Sucuri is well-recommended, as is WordFence.

    Wordfence is good, but it wouldn't stop sending me emails every time a plugin needed to be updated. This with 100+ sites was very irritating. So I started using Cerber on all my sites and it turned out to be really good. A great security feature is to change the /wp-admin or wp-login page. You can change it to whatever keyword you want. This strengthens your site a lot, since many hackers try to brute force login into your site's admin area.
