Protect your WordPress site with local security monitoring, Deep Scan, integrity checks, attack detection and multiple defensive layers.

== Description ==

BrunLabs Sentinel AI is a WordPress security plugin designed to provide multiple layers of local protection from a clear and centralized interface.

Sentinel monitors important areas of your WordPress installation, analyzes security-relevant changes and helps you detect suspicious activity before it becomes a bigger problem.

The included features work locally and do not require a BrunLabs account, license key or paid subscription.

= Deep Scan =

Deep Scan performs a comprehensive inspection of your WordPress installation and analyzes multiple security areas, including:

* Files and integrity
* WordPress Core
* Plugins and themes
* Database
* Users and access
* Network and APIs
* WordPress configuration
* Scheduled tasks
* Uploads
* Secrets and credentials
* Public exposure
* Official plugin integrity

Each area receives its own result so you can quickly identify where attention may be required.

= Real-time protection layers =

Sentinel includes multiple defensive monitoring layers designed to detect or mitigate common WordPress attack patterns.

Protection areas include:

* Brute-force login activity
* SQL injection patterns
* XSS and remote code execution attempts
* Dangerous executable uploads
* Administrator and privilege changes
* Sensitive WooCommerce payment configuration changes
* Supply-chain integrity changes
* Virtual patching protections
* Webshell and ransomware-related activity

The protection status of each layer can be reviewed directly from the Sentinel interface.

= Security Score =

Sentinel provides a security score that gives you a quick overview of the current state of your WordPress installation.

The score combines information gathered from security checks, configuration analysis and Deep Scan results.

= Local-first security =

Sentinel AI is designed so that its included protection features can operate directly inside your WordPress installation.

No BrunLabs account, license key or subscription is required to use the functionality included in this plugin.

= BrunLabs Connect =

BrunLabs Connect is an optional, separately distributed companion plugin that can provide additional connected integrations.

Sentinel AI remains fully functional without BrunLabs Connect.

1. Install BrunLabs Sentinel AI from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
2. Activate the plugin from the "Plugins" screen.
3. Open "Sentinel AI" from the WordPress administration menu.
4. Review your security status and protection layers.
