Join us for a deep dive into how WordPress sites get compromised and more importantly, how to prevent it!

This is a 2-hour **round table discussion** focused on **real-world attack vectors** like cross-site scripting (XSS), database injection, brute force, phishing, and more.

We’ll cover practical examples, preventative techniques, and the mindset you need to build secure WordPress sites.

Whether you’re a developer, site owner, or just curious about best practices, this session is built to be **interactive**, **educational**, and **highly focused**.

We’ll use timed topic prompts to explore each area clearly and give everyone the chance to ask questions or share their experience.

* Escape output, sanitise input, validate user data.
* Stop brute force logins and contact form spam.
* Learn why phishing works—and how to spot it.

Come away with practical techniques and renewed awareness of the ever-evolving security landscape in WordPress.
