Security in Drupal: what can go wrong?
Speaker: Benji Fisher
Let's "get off the island" and look at Drupal security from the point of view of an outsider.
The OWASP Top Ten is an industry standard list of the most common vulnerabilities that can affect web sites. This session will start with an overview of the Top Ten, and then take a more detailed look at a few of these vulnerabilities. We will review some actual Drupal security advisories:
* What the vulnerability looks like
* How the Drupal security team communicates the problem
* The code that was updated to fix the problem
Only a few of the slides fall under the last bullet point. You do not need to be a developer to appreciate the rest.
This session will help teach you about good "web hygiene" and what you can do to make your site more secure. It will also help you recognize when you need to rely on an expert.
