Details
ABOUT Women of WordPress NYC (WoWPNYC) EVENTS: Our goal is to support women (and those who identify as women) developers, designers, and bloggers who are invested in their desires of using the WordPress platform for professional and personal goals.
------------------------------Calling All Women of WordPress----------------------------------
WordPress powers a tremendous number of websites. It is easy to use, familiar, and comes with an incredible community. This success, however, comes with one major drawback: security. Because of its ubiquity, WordPress is a prime target for hackers. There are many possible attack vectors, but this talk will focus on one that is uniquely WordPress: the admin. This is a non-technical talk, and some of the things we will cover include the following:
- change the login url
- add a captcha
- whitelist IP addresses, and
- plenty more to protect your site's admin section!
