WordPress Security Presentation by Jason Conroy (from Finding Simple - http://findingsimple.com) for the March 2013 WordPress Canberra Meetup (http://wpcanberra.com.au)
Common sense, simple security for WordPress. Many presentations have lots of complicated .htaccess tricks, moving/hiding files, etc. However, if people are overwhelmed with details, they tend to not do anything. If I were to summarize what you MUST do for security, I'd say:
1 - BACKUP - find a backup tool and use it. Subscribe to VaultPress.com or host your site with WPEngine.com or purchase BackupBuddy plugin and schedule regular backups. If you're short on cash, use BackWPUp plugin and download your wp-content folder.
2 - UPDATE - All plugins, themes, and WordPress at least once a month or whenever there is a security update. Sign up for an account at WordPress.org, so you'll get notices of WordPress security updates.
3 - DELETE -- All unused plugins and themes. These are your biggest security risks. Delete all unused copies of WordPress you might have installed on your server.
4 - BE CAUTIOUS - Don't use plugins willy nilly. Do some research. They are not all made the same, and they will leave you vulnerable to hacking.
5 - PASSWORDS -- Use strong, randomly generated passwords, all different, for everything - your hosting, ftp, WP login, and email. Use 1Password.com to track your passwords easily and securely.
6 - SECURITY PLUGINS -- Run Firewall 2 and Limit Login Attempts. There are others, but I don't know how well they play with others and what things they modify. You can check out Bulletproof Security and Better WP Security.
7 - BEST PRACTICES - See the slideshow for some other best practices regarding users, comments, etc.
If you just do the above 6 things systematically, you'll be far ahead of your peers! Good luck!
WordPress is the most popular Blogging platform now a days. Many high profile companies are using WordPress as there Blogging platform. Have you ever thought about the security of your blog running WordPress ?? This presentation was presented On 13th Feb 2010, At Nagpur PHP Meetup by me.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view?

Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

4. File and Folder Permissions
What folder permissions should you use?
Good Rule of Thumb:
• Files should be set to 644
• Folders should be set to 755
Start with the default settings above
If your host requires 777…SWITCH HOSTS!

4. File and Folder Permissions
find [your path here] -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
find [your path here] -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
Or via SSH with the following commands

5. Move wp-config.php
WordPress features the ability to move the wp-config.php
file one directory above your WordPress root
This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to access your wp-config.php
file from a browser as it now resides outside of your website’s root directory
You can move your wp-config.php file to here
WordPress automatically checks the parent directory if a
wp-config.php file is not found in your root directory
public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php
If WordPress is located here:
public_html/wp-config.php

Add the code below to wp-config.php to force SSL (https) on login
Add the code below to wp-config.php to force SSL (https) on all admin pages

8. Be Secure Locally
Think of your local environment as if it was a medieval castle and you’re the queen or
king. Your kingdom must be protected!
Keep your computer up to date
• Ensure you’re patching or installing updates ASAP
• Automatic updates rock!
Install an anti-virus solution
• Ensure you’re keeping definitions current
• Automatic updates aren’t a bad idea here either!
Yes, personal firewalls still apply!

8. Be Secure Locally
It’s your information, but who’s watching & listening? You may be a network geek at
home, but what happens at Starbucks?
Your Internet Connection
Use SSL whenever possible, especially on an unverified connection.
• HTTPS is a great way to ensure your transactions & traffic are traveling with security in mind.
Connecting To Your Site(s)
Consider using sFTP or SSH vs. FTP
•Still widely marketed, but did you know your credentials are passed unencrypted when using FTP?
•If unavoidable, do not allow anonymous logins, limit connections, practice least privilege.
•Don’t store your credentials in your FTP client.

9. Use a Trusted Host
At the end of the day, hosting providers market the world. You in turn, should
have opportunity to know how they’re going to protect you.
Your Lovely Host
• Cheap doesn’t always mean best, or
safe!
• How many sites on their network are
blacklisted for malware reasons?
• What version of software do they run and
how often do they update?
• How are account credentials stored &
who has access?

10. Use Common Sense
• Use a strong password
• BAD: bradisawesome
• GOOD: SCrEE79joLly$
• A=@, E=3, S=$, O=0 (This is not unique, they know this)
• Update passwords regularly (Monthly, make a schedule)
• Know your admins, limit number of accounts (WP, FTP, Hosting, etc)
• Backup, Backup, Backup (Use BackupBuddy for scheduled backups)
