Drupal is a powerful tool that can be configured many ways, sometimes insecurely. Knowing attack vectors against your site and how to prevent them is important for everyone building a Drupal site. In this session, aimed at site-administrators, we'll discuss some vulnerabilities, proper configuration, and what you can do to maintain your site's security.

Topics include:

  • Common vulnerabilities and what they mean
  • Drupal defaults and why you should care
  • Trusting site visitors
  • How to recover from attack

Attendees will receive a better understanding of web security and the importance of a strong security process. The session covers a broad set of topics and is designed to provide a foundational, yet functional, introduction to Drupal security.

About the speakers:

Members of the Drupal Security Team, Ben Jeavons and Gábor Hojtsy have spoken on security at previous DrupalCon's and at many DrupalCamps. Additionally, Gábor is the Drupal 6 branch co-maintainer and Ben co-wrote the Drupal Security Report.

I've had feedback in previous presentations that too much swapping between presenters is distracting and reflects negatively on the entire session. I think two presenters is enough for this session.
