The What and Why of Drupal Security in Higher Ed

Drupal security is relevant to everyone, but particularly concerning to higher ed where you’re a big target with limited resources. Left to our own devices we may be inclined to search for a good article about Drupal security and install a slew of modules that sound promising. But did you understand why certain items were suggested, or what exactly they accomplished?

In this session, we’ll start by talking about security at a high level and describe why Universities are often a target. From there, we’ll give you a list of actionable takeaways you discuss with your team or implement right away.

• What security issues are most likely to affect our site?
• What are our options and what do they accomplish?
• When should we apply them (and when shouldn’t we)?
• What do we do about things outside of our control?
• How do the pieces fit together into a more robust security posture?
