WordPress Security by Carole Bonds
In all likelihood, you set up your web site and started blogging our building pages without giving a second thought to making sure your web site was secure and without a plan in place for making regular backups so you could restore the site if anything happened. But any seasoned web developer can tell you that the chances of something going wrong and files and work being lost are nearly 100%.
No software is immune to security problems and security can be an even bigger problem when the application is a popular open source one like WordPress. Believe it or not, many people think their chances of a hacker accessing their web site and causing havoc is slim to none. The bad news is, it happens more often than you think. In this presentation, Carole Bonds will show tricks and tips for Beginners to Advanced WordPress users on how to limit access to hackers, how to make regular backups, and how to restore the site from backup in the event that a hacker gets access.
