![]() ![]() Session 4: A Developer's Primer to Managing Developers A lot of sneaky things can happen from even trusted members of a site and we as developers need to mitigate these threats. This session was about what Drupal does for security and what we as developers can do to make sure these tools are being used.Ī number of best practices were described as well as the functions within Drupal that can be utilized to make sure that goals and expectation are being met. Two members of the Drupal core team, Greg Knaddison and Stéphane Corlosquet, did a great presentation on site security. Session 3: Securing Your Drupal Site: advice for site builders and coders To Mark, security isn’t a one-and-done task, it’s a constant process that requires diligence and discipline to stay ahead of an ever changing barrage of attacks. Mark Stanislav of Duo Security was there to provide insights on how to keep your stack secure from a systems administrator’s perspective. From the very hardware your site runs on to the network that delivers your content, vulnerabilities exist everywhere in what’s referred to as ‘the stack’ (the stack being the hardware, the operating system, the software, pretty much everything that goes into running a web server). The session reinforced the point that site security is much more than just the software that runs your site it is a ground-up proposition. This was a DrupalCon session for more of the technically inclined people. ![]() Session 2: Securing the Stack: Hardening Your Drupal Deployment They also give back to the community as well, having developed a number of Drupal components that we use every day. Developer Lullabot was able to utilize this architecture and its community support to deliver a solid product. The representatives from MSNBC and Lullabot chose Drupal because of its solid core and flexibility. From design to development, they faced challenges that were both unique to a news and entertainment company and common to almost every site out there. MSNBC faced a nearly insurmountable list of issues (hence the Mission: Impossible theme) that they needed to overcome to bring a truly world-class site to life. The panel included Jeff Robbins, CEO of Lullabot, Richard Wolffe, VP and Executive Editor, at MSNBC, John Keegan, VP Technology Strategy, NBC News Digital, and Karen Stevenson of Lullabot. This was a great opportunity to hear from the leads on the development team for MSNBCs new site. In the mean time I have put together a little run down of Day 1 at DrupalCon so that everyone can get a taste of DrupalCon. I am eager to get back to the office to start putting this new information to good use. Day 1 was packed with great speakers who have extensive knowledge of Drupal. DrupalCon Austin has lived up to all expectations so far. ![]()
