Robert Abela is the CEO and Founder of Melapress, developers of security and user-management plugins for WordPress, including WP Activity Log, WP 2FA, Melapress Login Security, and Melapress Role Editor. With more than 20 years of experience in software development businesses and web application security, Robert previously worked at GFI Software, Acunetix, 3CX, Netsparker, and other security software companies in roles spanning systems engineering, R&D, and product management. Today, Melapress plugins are active on more than half a million websites, helping businesses and organizations of all sizes strengthen their WordPress security posture and simplify user management.
While much of the focus in WordPress security is on website hardening measures, the reality is that users often represent the weakest link in the chain. Even with the best firewalls and security tools, your website remains vulnerable if users are not equipped to play their part. In this session, I demonstrate how a small selection of free WordPress plugins and complementary tools can be used to implement practical, user-focused security measures. Attendees will learn how to support their users in adopting secure practices, ultimately helping to protect both user accounts and the wider website environment.

Rob Migchels is a Tech Lead at one of the largest independent financial advisory firms in the Netherlands, with over 150 local branches, 12 different brands, and more than 425,000 relationships that use its services every day. In his talk, Rob covers the How, Why and What with WordPress in Enterprise. Explaining everything you need to know from selling WordPress to large organizations to making it succeed in the long term.
