I'm sure you've read at least one "Guide to WordPress Security" or "Top Ten Tips to Keep Your WordPress Site Safe" articles. Maybe you even implemented a few, or all, of the suggestions. But did you understand why certain items were suggested, or what exactly they accomplished? In this session will discuss the most common security suggestions for WordPress:
- Why they are suggested
- What they accomplish
- When you should apply them (and when you shouldn't)
- How they tie back to core security principles
- How we can augment these suggestions to build an even more robust security posture
