How to secure and protect WordPress.

Prithiv Kumaravel, Security Consultant at SecureLayer7, walked teams through the WordPress attack surface that powers a third of the web. This is the recording.

WordPress runs more than 30% of websites globally and roughly 60% of all open-source CMS deployments. That reach is exactly what makes its plugin ecosystem, theme code, and admin endpoints a steady source of exploit-grade vulnerabilities.

The session covers how to identify weak plugins and themes before they ship, the attack patterns that turn a single compromised site into a pivot onto the hosting server, the role of security plugins, and a working hardening and backup checklist for production WordPress.
